New Deck Building Features
We are super excited to release the next big feature for MTG Salvation soon, the Deck Builder! We have a lot of work ahead on this, and wanted to share some of the features
Front Page Widget
MTG Salvation will have a new widget in place of the deck builder upsell. Users will be able to quickly see the top decks for any format they want!
- Quickly See 8 highly rated decks
- Filter by Format
- Filter by Top for this week, Month, or all time!
Deck Listing
We will have a full listing of all decks where you can easily search for exactly what you are looking for
- Quickly filter by colors used in the deck.
- Look for decks only in the format, or deck type that you want!
- Find decks that use that new card you just pulled!
Deck Details
The core to the whole deck experience, the user deck itself!
- Users can upvote and downvote decks.
- Easily share your social info with your deck!
- Add sideboards and also show revision history as you make changes.
- Hand Draw Simulator, so you can test out the deck!
- Easy text export of the deck
- Various graphs.
- User written guides and comments!
The Deck Builder
The deck builder is obviously the core feature, without it, there would be no decks!
- Quickly select the format and deck type of your deck.
- Quick filters to find the cards you want to add to your deck
- Also includes the same advance filters from the card listing page
- Add cards to your sideboard.
- Paste in cards with text to easily import your already made decks.
- Select your deck avatar or Commander if a commander deck.
- Sections to add detailed information and guides to your deck
Other Features
A feature you looking for not here? Don't worry! This is just the first push. We want to get this out, in its most basic form so we can start getting feedback as users use the new deck builder. We can then start adding even more to it!
We're at the find-the-bugs and make-tweaks stage.
I know this has been a long wait.
There was a period of major development lag due to staffing issues, etc. There's a team back on the project, however, and they are making some really strong headway!
First info I got was on twitter back in JUNE after asking them, and they just said no ETA, no beta.
First statement on this site was in AUGUST, 4 whole months after the announcement.
When something behind the scenes suddenly went horribly wrong, people expect an update and not utter silence, at which point it started feeling like a late april fools' joke.
Either way, transparency towards customers is pretty important, especially these days.
In all seriousness, I had just opened up a TO account with the intention of putting all my decks there when this announcement came out. I held off doing anything with the hopes of just keeping everything here on MTGS. 4-1/2 months since the announcement, we don't even have any information about what is going on. Even bad news would be better than no news at this point.
If anyone knows any front end, we are hiring https://www.curseinc.com/careers/592360
