Decks

• A deck is 30 cards plus one deck master.
• 2 copies of any card, or 1 if it is Legendary.
• A Unique copy counts as one of those. It can go in beside an older edition of the same card, unless that edition is Legendary. In the deck editor, + puts your Unique copy in first.
• Only one copy of a location can be in play at a time.
• A card can only be in one deck. Put it in another and it leaves the first.
• A deck with 20 cards by one artist, not counting starter cards, is a retrospective.
• You build decks at the Curator's Office. Each level of it holds one more deck, and each office holds only the decks in its own city.
• You can keep as many decks as all your Curator's Offices hold together.
• A deck in a city whose office has no slot for it moves by itself to a free slot in another of your cities, as soon as one opens.

Build a Curator's Office and it offers you a starter deck. Once you have taken it, the same page lists your decks and opens one to arrange it. Each office lists only the decks in its own city. New deck makes an unnamed deck in that city while its office has a slot free, and opens it.

• Add and remove cards and rename it. A deck master goes in from your collection like any other card, one per deck.
• Choose its playstyle, which is how it plays when you are not at the controls. It is saved as soon as you pick it.
• The deck list shows each card's mana cost, class and keywords. Turn on Show as cards to see card faces instead. A name opens the card.
• The minus and plus beside each card's quantity take a copy out or put another in.
• Auto add cards, beside the count while the deck is short, fills the empty places from your free cards, and adds a deck master if there is none. It keeps what you already put in, picks the cards worth most for their mana, spreads them across costs to suit the playstyle, and still leaves Save to you.
• The mana curve at the top shows how many cards in the deck cost each amount, with everything costing 7 or more in the last column. Hover over or tap a bar to see its count.
• Search, filter and sort your collection while you choose cards for the deck.
• A deck is saved when it holds 30 cards and has a deck master leading it, and not before.
• Nothing is saved until you press Save, and a deck has to hold 30 cards before you can save it.
• Leaving the deck with changes not saved asks first, so you can stay and save them.
• Delete deck removes a deck and puts its cards back in your collection. Your starter deck stays on the shelf. You can empty it, but it does not go away.

A deck fights at the Arena and nowhere else, so attacking and defending decks are the same thing until somebody can be raided.

While your starter deck is all you own, you have exactly the 30 cards it holds and its deck master, so there is nothing to swap in and nothing you can change until you get more cards.

Every card you own is wanted in four places, and it can only be in one of them.
