Creating a deck

Start a new decklist from a name and format — manarock handles validation and collection overlap.

What you’ll do

Create a new decklist tied to a format. Once it exists, you can paste in a list, edit cards individually, or share it as a public link.

Step by step

  1. From the sidebar, open Decks.
  2. Click New deck.
  3. Pick a format (Commander, Modern, Legacy, Pioneer, Standard, 1v1, …).
  4. Give it a name and optional description.
  5. Save. You’ll land on the empty deck editor.

Formats matter

The format you pick controls validation:

Validation warnings appear inline as you add cards — they don’t block saving, but the deck won’t be marked legal until they’re resolved.

What’s next

After the deck is created, the next step is usually pasting a list. See Editing a deck for paste syntax, bulk operations, and how the “do I own this?” overlay works.
