Building a Deck from Your Collection

Requires account

Turn a deck idea into a real deck box by pulling the cards you already own from your collection.

Opening the Builder

On any deck you own, tap to open the build wizard. It checks your collection and shows which cards you can cover.

Steps

  • Configure — Build from your collection, choose which boards to include, and optionally exclude basic lands. Cards already sitting in the linked deck box are left where they are.
  • Sources — For cards you own in more than one place or printing, pick which copy to use. The card image updates to match the printing you choose. The cog opens the tie-breaker rules Grimoria applies when you have not chosen: container load, container size, printing price, condition, foil and shared pool — each reversible, and drag-reorderable because the first rule decides and the rest only break ties.
  • Pick — Go card by card, marking each Done as you pull it from your binder or Skip to leave it out. Switch to the list mode for a compact, printable checklist, or mark all as done to jump straight to the review.
  • Build — Review the recap and build. The chosen cards are moved into a new deck box in your collection. If anything is still missing, Add missing to wishlist is one tap away.

Card Source

Each card shows where its copy comes from — a binder, another deck box, or loose in your collection. When a card has multiple sources, switch between them right in the picker to choose the exact printing you want to sleeve up. A card you own in several places can be split across them.

After the Build

The new deck box stays linked to the idea: missing copies are flagged on the deck's rows, and any drift between the two can be reconciled later. See Deck Ideas, Deck Boxes & Reconcile.

Saving Progress

Your progress is saved automatically, so you can close the wizard and pick up later — it stays until you finish the build or clear it. To discard progress and start fresh, tap the trash icon in the wizard header.
