Sort It, Share It, and See the Combo You're One Card From

When we rebuilt the deck page, we promised it would keep getting better. Since then, we’ve kept working on the parts you told us you use most: reading a list, sending it to a friend, and figuring out what the deck could still become.

Your list, your order

Everyone reads a decklist differently. Some people want it by card type. Some want to see the curve. Some want to know what they still need to buy.

Above the list, you can now Group by Type, Mana value, Color, Role or Rarity, and Sort by Name, Price, Mana value, Color, Date added, Owned or Rarity. One button flips the direction. Role groups the deck into Ramp, Card draw, Removal, Board wipes and Tutors, which is the fastest way we know to check whether a deck is actually doing its job.

The rows change to match. Sort by mana value and each card shows its mana cost. Sort by rarity and you see the set symbol. Sort by date added and you see when each card went in.

Importantly, your choice follows you. Pick it once and every deck you open, yours or someone else’s, uses the same layout. Considering gets sorted the same way too.

I group by Role and sort by price. But you do you.

One link to share

Tap Share on the deck’s banner and you get the link with Copy link, plus your phone’s share sheet on mobile. If the deck is still private, Share offers to publish it instead. And if you copy the address bar out of habit, that works too: anyone who opens it lands on the public page, signed in or not.

People who open a shared deck also get History, the full card-by-card log of every change, and they can open the Bracket breakdown from the bracket chip to see exactly why the deck landed where it did. If the owner set the bracket by hand, it says so.

Combos, right on the deck

Last time we taught the bracket to count combos. Now they have their own place on the deck.

When a deck holds a combo, a chip on the banner says so (“3 combos”), and anyone looking at the deck can open it. Each combo shows its cards, its bracket, and what it does, as short chips: ∞ mana, ∞ damage, Win the game. Jargon like Lock, ETB and LTB explains itself when you hover or tap. Every combo links to its steps on Commander Spellbook.

On your own decks, the Combos modal goes one step further: One card away. These are cards in your colors that would finish a combo with what’s already in the deck. Each one shows whether you own it, groups its combos by what they produce, and has Add to Considering, so you can try it without committing.

That’s the part I’ve had the most fun with. We hope to incorporate it into our recommendation engine soon.

You’ll find it under Tools → Combos too.

Tokens and emblems

If you’ve ever sat down with a Rhys deck and no Elf tokens, this one is for you.

The deck page now lists every token, emblem and helper card your deck makes, with a count for how many of your cards make each one. Hover a token to see what makes it. On the Buy page there’s a Tokens and emblems section with prices at each store and a Buy tokens button, so the tokens can go in the same cart as the cards.

And a tidier Tools menu

The Tools menu now groups everything by job: Play, Analyze, Collection, Export and Deck. On desktop it’s two columns, and each tool has a short note on what it does.

Combo data comes from Commander Spellbook. Thanks to everyone who maintains it.
