Building a Deck (Browse Page)
The Browse page (/search) is designed as the starting point for building a new deck. You search and browse cards in the main area while your deck grows in a side panel. Think of it as search-first deck building — the card pool is front and center.
Starting a New Deck
There are a few ways to start:
Click New Deck in the toolbar (on mobile, this appears inside the collapsed filter section)
Navigate to
/search?new=1Start adding cards directly — a deck is created automatically
The Deck Side Panel
Once you start building, a deck tab appears on the right edge of the screen. Click it to expand the side panel showing your deck in progress.
Tab Indicators
The tab shows at a glance:
Card count — Total cards in your main deck
L / B boxes — Green when Leader and Base are selected
Orange dot — Appears when you have unsaved changes
You can drag the tab up or down to reposition it on screen.
Panel Contents
The side panel shows your full deck list:
Leader & Base — At the top. If empty, click "Select Leader" or "Select Base" to filter the main card grid to that type. Once selected, they appear as rows with aspect icons and stats. Hover for a card image preview. Click the X to remove.
Main Deck — Shows "Main Deck (X/Y)" where Y is your target deck size (usually 50, varies by base). Cards are listed with:
Card name and stats
Count badge (e.g., 3x)
+/− buttons to adjust quantity
SB button to move to sideboard
Sideboard — Appears below the main deck if you have sideboard cards.
Adding Cards to Your Deck
As you browse or search, each card tile shows deck-building controls on hover:
+ button — Add a copy to your deck
− button — Remove a copy
Count badge — Shows how many copies are in your deck
Cards are limited to their maximum copies (typically 3, or 1 for unique cards). The + button disables when you've hit the limit.
Smart Filtering
Once you've selected both a Leader and a Base, the browse page helps you focus:
Type filter auto-sets to Unit, Event, and Upgrade (hides Leader/Base/Token)
Aspect mode switches to Deck — showing only cards playable without an aspect penalty
Sort switches to Cost: Low to High
Cards are ready to browse immediately
You can always override these by changing filters manually.
Saving Your Deck
Click Save in the side panel header. If it's a new deck, a dialog appears where you can:
Enter a deck name
Choose a folder to organize it in
Your deck also autosaves to your browser in the background. If you accidentally close the page and come back, you'll see a banner offering to Restore or Discard your unsaved changes.
Moving to the Workshop
When you're ready for a more visual editing experience, click the Workshop button (compass icon) in the side panel header. Your deck transfers over to the full multi-column workshop layout.
See The Workshop for details on the workshop experience.
Importing a Deck
Click New Deck on the "My Decks" (/decks) page to open the import dialog, where you can:
