The Workshop
The Workshop (/workshop) is your visual deck editor. Unlike the browse page where search is the main focus, the workshop puts your deck front and center with search as a complementary tool for finding specific cards.
Layout Overview
The workshop uses a 3-column layout on desktop:
Your Deck — Leader, Base, main deck grid, sideboard
Search & Filters — Format toggle, search bar, filter dropdowns, search results
On mobile, the search column becomes a slide-in drawer accessible via the search tab button.
Your Deck (Left Column)
Leader & Base Slots
At the top, two slots show your Leader and Base:
Empty slots — Click to filter the search column to that card type. Click "Select Leader" or "Select Base" to start browsing leaders or bases in the search panel.
Filled slots — Show the card image in landscape format. Click to remove the card from your deck.
Main Deck Grid
Below the leader/base row, your main deck cards display as a visual card grid, sorted by cost then type. A stats bar above the grid shows your Unit / Event / Upgrade counts.
Each card tile shows:
Card image
Count badge (diamond shape at the bottom)
On hover: SB button (move to sideboard), − button (remove copy), + button (add copy)
Hover popover with a larger card preview
Sideboard
If you have sideboard cards, they appear below the main deck in a compact 6-column grid. Each tile has:
Count badge
MD button — move back to main deck
−/+ buttons — adjust quantity
Search & Filters (Right Column)
The search column works similarly to the browse page (see Browsing & Searching Cards) with a few workshop-specific behaviors:
Format Toggle & Search
Same Premier/Eternal toggle and natural language search. The search pipeline is identical — single-word matching, title search, then AI fallback.
Filter Dropdowns
Four filter dropdowns are available:
Sets — Premier/Eternal quick-select or individual set checkboxes
Types — Unit, Event, Upgrade
Aspects — Same Deck/Any/All modes. Deck mode auto-activates when both Leader and Base are selected.
Arenas — Ground, Space
Search Results
Results appear as a scrollable list below the filters. Each row shows the card with an Add button to put it in your deck. Cards already in your deck show a count badge.
Default Card Pool
When you have both a Leader and Base selected but haven't searched, the search column shows all playable cards for your deck's aspects, sorted by cost. This lets you browse and build without needing to search.
Deck Building Flow
A typical workflow in the workshop:
Select a Leader — Click the empty Leader slot, browse leaders in the search panel, click one to add
Select a Base — Click the empty Base slot, browse bases, click one to add
Browse the card pool — With both selected, the search panel shows all playable cards filtered by your deck's aspects
Add cards — Click cards in the search results to add them to your deck grid
Fine-tune — Use search to find specific cards, adjust counts with +/− buttons, move cards to sideboard
Save — Click Save in the header bar
Header Actions
The workshop header includes:
Deck name (or "New Deck")
Unsaved indicator — Shows when you have unsaved changes
Browse button — Switch to the browse page with your deck loaded in the side panel
View button — Go to your deck's public view page (only for saved decks)
Save button — Save your deck. New decks open a dialog for name and folder; existing decks save instantly.
Close button — Close the deck (confirms if you have unsaved changes)
Autosave & Recovery
The workshop autosaves your work to the browser every 500ms. If you accidentally close the tab and come back, a banner appears offering to Restore or Discard your unsaved changes.
