Playtest

  • Cards are bigger: they now start at about three quarters of their size in the deck editor, and zoom from 48% up to 257%.
  • The card preview shows just the card, taking much less room beside the hand.
  • Pop the preview out with the button beside Preview and drag it anywhere over the playtester: the battlefield, the toolbar or the zones. It has its own zoom buttons, which stay under your pointer as it grows and shrinks. With no card to show, only its small header is visible, and it never blocks clicks on what's beneath it. It remembers where you left it; the shrink button docks it beside the hand again.

Deck statistics

  • A new Graveyard hate role counts cards that deal with graveyards, from Rest in Peace and Relic of Progenitus to lands like Bojuka Bog.

Per-user Windows 10/11 installers and complete update ZIPs for x64 and ARM64. Requires Microsoft Edge WebView2 (Edge 111+). Installers and executables are not Authenticode signed; Windows may display a SmartScreen warning. Application source and user data are not included.

Commander brackets and Game Changers

  • A Bracket button beside a Commander deck's name counts its Game Changers. Open it to choose the deck's bracket (also under Commander Bracket in the deck menu) and see the lowest bracket its cards allow, with the cards behind each reason: Game Changers, mass land denial and extra turns. It warns when your chosen bracket is lower than the cards allow.
  • Game Changers wear a GC badge in Commander decks, packages, search results and the card details panel.
  • The deck library has a Bracket column.
  • Brackets imported from Moxfield and Archidekt come along with the deck.
  • Not your thing? Uncheck Show Game Changers or Show Commander brackets under Commander in Data & settings.

Legality

  • Beside the deck's name, Legal or a count of problems. Click it for the list; each card that breaks a rule is marked in the decklist.
  • Checks banned and restricted cards, deck and sideboard size, copy limits, commander eligibility (including partners, backgrounds and Doctor's companions, Brawl and Oathbreaker), and color identity.

Deck statistics

The chart button in the deck's footer opens Deck statistics:

  • Cards, lands, average and total mana value, with or without your commanders.
  • The mana curve, card types and each color's mana symbols beside the lands that make it.
  • Roles: how much ramp, card draw, removal, board wipes and counterspells the deck runs, their average cost and curve. Open a role to see its cards; point at a card's name to see the card.
  • Removal by target: what answers creatures, artifacts, enchantments, planeswalkers, lands and battles, so a gap stands out.
  • Modal double-faced cards you can play as a land count as lands, shown as 35 (+5 MDFCs) here, in the Lands group and in the deck footer. Cards that only flip into a land on the battlefield don't.

Export and sharing

  • Export… in the deck menu writes a deck as text (with or without printings), MTG Arena, MTGO (.dek and .txt), Archidekt, Cockatrice, Forge, XMage or CSV. Preview it, copy it, or save it as a file.
  • Share… in the package menu shares a package two ways: as a card list of everything it holds, in any of those formats, or as a smart package that keeps its smart filters and included packages. Another Demonic Consultations imports a smart package from the Packages + menu.

Undo and redo

  • Undo and Redo top the deck menu, with ⌘Z and ⇧⌘Z (Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y on Windows and Linux). Each deck and package remembers up to 100 steps while the app runs.

Multi-select

  • The Multi-select button beside the search box puts checkboxes beside every card, smart filter and included package. Type to filter the list: matches are highlighted and the rest darken.
  • Check matching and Uncheck matching check the cards that match your filter.
  • For all checked… removes them, makes a package of them, or adds them to a category or a new one.
  • Card search results have checkboxes too: make a deck or package of the checked cards, or add them to one.

Packages

  • A package can have several smart filters.
  • Smart filters' cards are worked out once and remembered, so packages open fast. They're updated in the background when a catalog update brings new cards, tags or prices.
  • Smart filters match only cards that can go in a deck, never tokens or other game pieces.

Deck editor

  • Group cards › Category groups the list by your categories, in decks and packages. Drag a card onto a category's group to add it there, keeping its other categories.
  • The images view packs groups into columns to use the whole panel before running off the bottom; the text view fills the height before adding columns, and lets columns get narrower before dropping to fewer.
  • Text view drops its column headings and keeps quantities in a narrow column, where singleton decks have their remove button.
  • Smart categories have a lightbulb icon.
  • Highlighting cards from a category looks the same as multi-select highlighting: matches stand out and the rest darken.
  • A card you click in the images view stays lifted out of its stack until it's no longer selected.
  • Auto-Collapse List Panel in View Settings chooses whether opening a deck or package tucks the library away. It's on for decks and off for packages to start.

Packages

Build a group of cards once and drop it into any deck.

  • A new Packages tab sits beside Decks. Make a package with File › New package, or import one from a file or a pasted card list from the + menu.
  • Add a package to a deck with the package button beside Playtest, or Add package… in the deck menu. Only cards that fit go in: the commander's colors, the format's legality and its copy limits (one of each in singleton formats, four in others, and as many basic lands as you like).
  • Smart filters make a package a search. Add one with the filter button, and the package lists every card that matches, and adds them all.
  • Packages can include other packages; click an included package's name to open it.

Deck editor

  • Change Format moved into the deck menu, next to a new Singleton Format checkbox.
  • New buttons beside Playtest add a package or a category.
  • Update to › Defaults switches every card to your default printing.
  • Zoom in and Zoom out scale the decklist and search results, remembered separately for decks and packages.
  • Decklists use the whole width of the panel. Groups wrap into columns, and a group's heading never sits alone at the bottom of one.
  • Commanders and categories stay in a column on the left while the rest of the list scrolls. Uncheck Show Categories in View Settings to hide categories.
  • Text view packs prices and remove buttons closer to each card.
  • A card with one copy has just Remove in its right-click menu. Commanders have no remove button; remove them from their right-click menu.
  • The Website and Support columns are gone from the deck library.

Image view

  • Stacked cards overlap more tightly, showing each card's name line, and more columns fit across the panel.
  • Remove buttons and counts sit snug against each card. Point at a count to show − and + on either side of it.
  • Pointing at a card's buttons lifts the card out of its stack, so you can see what you're removing or flipping.

New decks

  • A new deck asks for its format first.
  • Commander formats search for your commander, legal commanders only by default, with a color identity filter, a preview of the card you point at, and an optional partner.

Printings

  • Switch printing filters by frame, border, treatment, finish, promo, language and stamp: old border or new, borderless, showcase, extended art, textless, Phyrexian, foil-only and more.
  • Double-faced printings show front and back side by side.
  • Make default and Update all decks sit beside Cancel and OK.
  • Default printings come only from paper printings, never Arena or MTGO ones.

Search and formats

  • in:<rarity> finds cards ever printed at that rarity, such as in:common.
  • Pauper Commander's commanders are creatures ever printed at uncommon.

Playtest

  • The playtester remembers each deck's player counters and named zones, along with its trackers, such as Total toughness or a count of Artifacts.

Around the app

  • New icons for Decks, Cards, Playtest, Data & settings and Switch printing.
  • Clicking the current sidebar tab collapses or expands the sidebar, and opening or creating a deck tucks the deck library away.
  • Release Notes in Data & settings shows what's new in your version. When an update is available, its notes are linked beside the install button there and in the status bar.
