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.

    Under Deck Name, type a name (placeholder Enter deck name).

  3. Choose a format

    Under Deck Format, tap Select a format and choose one (Standard, Pioneer, Modern, Legacy, Vintage, Commander, Pauper…).

  4. Pick colours (optional)

    Optionally pick Deck Colors (W, U, B, R, G).

  5. Save

    Tap Save.
