Gathering your collection…
Your decks
Assign collection copies to a deck, resolve conflicts between decks, and see which cards are still available to use or sell.

If you own two copies and one is assigned to a deck, only the other copy is free for another deck. Saving a second deck list with the same card name does not create another physical copy.
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Owned | Physical copies recorded in your inventory. |
| Assigned | Copies explicitly reserved for a deck. A theorycraft idea does not reserve them. |
| Available | Copies that are not already committed to another deck or selling claim and can be considered for the next action. |
In List, Table or Artwork, choose Edit beside the entry. Your collection shows owned and available copies of that exact printing and finish, plus the number applied to this deck entry. Save quantity or section edits before assigning.
Choose Select from collection, select its condition and storage location, then assign the copies to this entry. This reserves inventory already recorded; it does not increase your owned quantity or the deck’s size.
Use Add to collection & assign only if you own a copy that is not recorded yet. Check the shown inventory counts, choose condition and location, confirm that it is unrecorded, then Add & assign. The new inventory and assignment save together. Matching printing, finish, condition and location merge into the existing inventory spot.
On a saved deck, choose Assign collection cards, then Choose from collection. This works even when the deck list is empty. If you have an unsaved text edit, finish saving it or explicitly discard the draft before switching.
Search the card name, hover its name or thumbnail to preview, then choose the exact printing and finish. Condition, location and available copies appear alongside it. Cards reserved elsewhere or in an open sale review are unavailable here.
The picker starts with an existing unfilled section, including Commander. Check Main deck, Commander (for Commander decks), or Sideboard, and the number of copies. The summary shows whether these fill existing unassigned slots or add to the list. Choose Assign cards, then keep picking your next card.
If your commander appears in both Main and Commander and its main-deck copy is already assigned, open Assign collection cards → Choose from collection and search its name. Choose the assigned copy, review its exact printing and finish, then choose Move Main → Commander. This fills the empty commander slot, removes one extra main-deck slot and preserves collection quantities and other assignments. The commander uses the selected physical copy’s finish. Copies in another deck or an open sale review must be released or transferred separately.
Choose Assign collection cards on the deck page, then Match deck list.
Exact printing is the default. Any owned printing can use an owned version of the same card, including a different finish, while keeping the deck’s selected artwork.
Check the proposed printing, finish, condition, location and quantity. Use Choose from collection instead when you want to pick a particular inventory spot yourself.
Save the reviewed allocation. The cards applied from collection count updates, and your collection shows that those copies are in a deck.
When a needed copy is already assigned elsewhere, review the conflict and explicitly choose a transfer from the other deck. The source deck loses that assignment as the destination gains it. One physical copy cannot be reserved by both decks at once.
Releasing an assignment leaves the card in your collection at its recorded location. It only removes the deck’s reservation. Use this when dismantling a deck or freeing cards for another build.
Assigned copies are marked in collection views and in the scan-to-check result. Quantity edits, removals and selling actions protect reserved copies. If you intend to sell one, release or transfer its assignment first.
A theorycraft deck has no reservation to release. Planning to use a card later and assigning a physical copy now are different actions.
