Forged by Fire: Introducing Event Decks

• Event Decks

MTGO events and their decklists are now available in a new section under Decks called Event Decks.

Browse by event to see all the top decks in an event:

Or search across all events for specific decks:

NOTE: deck names are currently displayed as the player instead of the archetype name (e.g. Amulet Titan). To avoid manual management of archetypes, an AI-based solution for naming is planned for the future. Until then, the best way to search by archetype is to search for decks containing a specific card (e.g. Primeval Titan).

Drilling down into a specific deck brings you to the detail page for playtesting and additional options:

Lastly, when playtesting a deck, an event deck can be used as the Enemy's deck:

• Universes Beyond Cards with Alternate Names

For the first time in Magic history, with the release of the Spiderman expansion, names of cards on paper diverged from the names of cards online.

MITB will only display the names as they appear on paper. The online-only names can still be specified in the following cases:

  • Import deck
  • Autocomplete card search
  • Advanced card search

For instance, searching for Druneth, Reviver of the Hive will produce a result for Jackal, Genius Geneticist.

• Added Missing Eternal Expansions

The following expansions were added:

  • The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle Earth Commander (LTC)
  • Ravnica Clue Edition (CLU)
  • Jumpstart 2025 (J25)

• Miscellany

  • Reformatted the decklist component (inspired by the classic sideboard.com)
  • Public deck tiles will show the author's username once again
  • "Sort By" now works on the public deck search
  • Fixed an issue with infinite scroll search results that led to new results halting prematurely
  • Converted front-end codebase to TypeScript for improved developer experience and system continuity purposes

Stay tuned for a follow up release containing additional Event Deck functionality.

Thanks for reading!
