    HI! Just wondering if the issue of having no way to delete a deck from your own account is ever going to be addressed? This post that I am replying to was from April, 2018. It is a full 2 years later and still no way to delete a deck unless it is come crazy complicated process that I can't seem to find anywhere on the deckbuilder. I know this site is WAY older than that too because I used to use this site back when I was a kid MANY years ago, probably over 10 years ago. Why has this never been addressed? It seems like something that should be ridiculously simple to just add a button to delete a decklist. I like this site A LOT. The deckbuilder is really the easiest and best one I have found when you are working on an experimental deck idea. WAY, WAY, WAY better and more intuitive than TappedOut. I usually build my decks here on MTGsalvation first and then export the decklists to TappedOut after to use the simulator before printing proxies and playtesting and then finally buying cards for the deck that performs the best. But when I have nearly 20 decks built that I have been tinkering with and I want to slim down here on MTGsalvation to the decks that have worked out the best, there is no way for me to delete those decks that crashed and burned during playtesting. So when I want to go and tweak the decks that are better, I have to sift through a whole list of decks I don't even use anymore. It also makes me hesitate to continue making more decks on MTGsalvation based on new ideas because I know it's just going to contribute to growing the problem. The only solution I have is to go to a deck list that I have already saved and don't want anymore and individually delete every single card in the main deck and sideboard, delete all descriptions, deck avatar, etc and then build a new deck in it's place to avoid adding to my list of decks. Unfortunately, I didn't even realize I couldn't delete a deck until I already had something like 20 decks built!!! The length of my list of decks is already inconvenient and the only way I can see to fix the problem is to write down or copy and print my deck lists for the decks I want to keep and then abandon this account and make a new one and try to limit the number of decks I build to something like 10 or less. But it would be a pain to copy down like 4-6 decks that I want to keep, make a new account, and then put those decks back into the deckbuilder under my new account just to delete the other 10-14 decks I want to delete. Plus, then you guys have a ghosted account that doesn't get used, updated, etc. which I'm sure must be an inconvenience to you all in some way, shape or form. Then, finally, even if I do that I have to limit myself to only building a couple of experimental decks at a time to avoid growing my list of decks to an encyclopedia of broken decks that don't work out. That can be a problem too because especially when new sets come out, I usually end up coming across 10 or 12 different cards that I like and want to build a deck around and usually I end up building more than one version of the same deck to see which one works better. Having to constantly overwrite my decks will be just as much of a pain as having to ghost an account and transfer decks to a new account. So, I don't know if this problem just hasn't been taken seriously but as you can see, it is an ENORMOUS inconvenience generated over such a small and simple problem that I imagine shouldn't be that hard to fix and I am just wondering if it is ever going to happen? For now, I am probably going to just go ahead and ghost my account, make a new one and transfer my decks like I said. But ultimately it is only a matter of time before the inconvenience of just not being able to delete an old and abandoned deck idea will drive me away from using MTGsalvation as a resource as it probably already has driven many others away who have less patience than I do. Come on guys...it's been YEARS that we have waited for something so simple. Please, please, PLEASE...help us out, and likely help yourselves out. JUST GIVE US A DELETE BUTTON!!!
