Hi,

Wanting to return to Magic after 7 years of a break, I'm looking for a good solution to manage my deck(lists). Something that will actually add value, and easy to import. (For example, c/p a normally free text decklist into the tool should be supported) Easy references to the cards themselves should be in there as well. (At least the text, bonus points for an image of the card).

If found the following two, that both don't match up with these requirements:

1 - http://www.mtgzone.com/decks.php?page=viewdeck&id=5988
2 - http://www.mtgvault.com/viewdeck.php?did=10411


What do you use for this?

Cheers,

FP

There's a function to import a deck from clipboard. It doesn't always work 100%, but it's useful. Of course the entire reason to have magicworkstation though is to play other people online...

Thanks for the pointer freakish. I'm actually on a Mac here, so if anyone knows any webbased, platform independant (java?) or Mac tools then I would love to know!

LackeyCCG is terrific for making decklists, because you can just C/P into a text file with minimal formatting and save as the deck name.

A few options:

A) Get an Intel-based Mac and run Bootcamp.

B) Install X11 and emulate Windows to run MWS

C) Install X11, but get a Unix program like MWS (there's an Apprentice Unix build, dunno about MWS.)

I was a fan of Apprentice until Vaclav Klaus' connection failures earned me a death sentence in the Czech Republic. MWS is the way to go.

Also, when will the official Shadowmoor lists come out? I'm freaking tired of seeing "V"s and shit online.

Thanks everyone for the pointers! I'm checking them out already. Deckcheck seems to do the job. Once I get a bit further with reading up on the new sets (and rules!) I might go for the Parallels route and go for MWS. After that, Enchantress! :-)
