Building & analyzing decks

Create decks, add cards, set a commander, import lists, and dig into a completely redesigned deck details screen.


On this page

Open the Decks tab

Tap the Decks tab at the bottom (the stacked-rectangles icon) to see your decks.

The deck list is art-forward — each deck shows its cover art, and you can sort, filter by format, and search by name. To set a deck’s cover, long-press a deck and choose Change cover, or long-press a card and choose Set as cover.

The Deck Details screen

Tap a deck to open its Deck Details screen — rebuilt around a full-bleed hero of your commander's art instead of a plain info header. Below the hero, everything is grouped into four buckets:

Overview
The deck's info, cards and commander — where you add cards, set your commander and manage the deck (see the sections below).
Assist
Mox's evaluation and suggestions for the deck — see Ask Mox.
Play
A quick-glance record — your Games, Win Rate and a recent-form bar chart — with a shortcut into the full Game History.
Analyze
A shortcut into Full Analytics for the deck.

Three buttons scroll horizontally near the top of the screen — + Log Game, Game History › and Full Analytics › — for jumping straight to either deeper screen.

Or import a deck

Rather than building from scratch, you can bring in a whole list at once.

Add Preconstructed Deck
Browse official precons (the Preconstructed Decks list), search, pick one, confirm and tap Add — all cards are added for you.
Import Deck List
Opens Import Cards with three options — Import from Moxfield (paste a Moxfield URL), Import from File (a text file), or Paste Text (paste a list under DECK LIST, then tap Import).

Add cards to a deck

  1. Open the Add Cards menu

    In the deck's Overview bucket, tap the plus button to bring up the Add Cards menu.

  2. Pick how to add

    Choose Search to find cards by name, Scan to add by camera, or Import to paste a list.

  3. Add and remove cards

    Tap a card to add it; remove a card by swiping it or tapping its trash icon. Tap See all cards to view the full list.

Set the commander

In Overview, for Commander or Brawl decks, tap the Commander slot in the deck info, then choose Search or Take PictureScan. (Other formats show their own slots, e.g. Oathbreaker and Signature Spell.) Your commander's art is also what powers the new hero image at the top of Deck Details.

Game History: Games, Rivals, Trends & Prep

Tap Game History › (or the Play bucket's shortcut) to open Game History — a hub with four tabs you switch between by tapping:

Games
Every logged game for this deck. Tap one to open Game Detail — the full breakdown of that single game.
Rivals
The commanders you face most, and your head-to-head record against each.
Trends
Your win rate and results charted over time.
Prep
Pre-game matchup prep — pick an opponent's commander to see what you're up against, then tap Prep Another Matchup to check a different one.

Log a new game any time from the + Log Game button on Deck Details — see the Game Log guide for what you can record.

Ask Mox

Open the Assist bucket on a deck and tap Evaluate Deck for an AI breakdown of its strengths and weaknesses. Want Mox to build a deck from scratch? See the Mox Deck Builder guide.
