Building a deck with Mox

Tell Mox what you want and it builds a complete, format-legal deck for you — then helps you refine and save it.


Pro feature: Mox Deck Builder requires a Pro subscription. If you're not subscribed you'll see the upgrade screen when you open it.
In BETA: Mox Deck Builder is still in beta, so it's actively being improved. The Finish a deck mode appends cards to your existing deck rather than creating a brand-new one.

Save it

Tap Save Deck to add it to your decks. You can then leave quick feedback — Good or Needs Work, then Submit Feedback (or Skip).

If you discard the result instead of saving it, Mox also prompts a feedback sheet so you can tell us what didn't work.

Tip: once saved, open the deck and tap View Full Analytics to check its mana curve and value — see the Decks guide.
