Deck Backups Necessary

I edited a deck on my phone and went to my computer and finished it up, and aciddently saved it on my phone and now I lost hours of work on my deck. Is there any system to revert it, and if not. ADD IT.
Revision tracking is for upgraded users. What's the deck?

Would it be possible to add an "undo/revert changes" or "undo/revert deletion" for 10 minutes after any change or deck is deleted?

maybe... but i'm not sure that's what's going on here. in this case it seems like maybe they just can't find their deck

Sounds like what happened is he started working on his phone and never actually hit save but instead stayed in the editor, then moved onto the computer and worked for hours. Saved on computer, but then also saved the version on his phone from several hours ago over the recent version on his computer. So reverting the most recent change should solve the problem assuming that is exactly what happened and there was no chance he didn't save on the computer. I don't think he "lost" the deck, he just lost all the changes he made on an existing deck by saving an older copy over the revised one.
Or on the other hand I could be completely wrong. But I do like the idea of being able to revert to previous edits.

Necrotize's suggested series of events makes a lot of sense to me.

Basically I want through a bunch of cards on my phone and hit weave and continue editing because I wasn't sure when I would continue, then that night I opened the deck on my computer and spent a few hours finishing up. When I came back to my phone to playtest but I hit save because I was in edit mode not realizing it was the old version of the deck, so all my work on my computer is gone.

i think it will be easy to prevent things like this from happening in the future. i think you should check google cache to see if it has the old version.
there is a feature for upgraded users that tracks these changes which could help a little in seeing what changes happened in this case. sorry though that wouldn't apply to you.

I'm not sure that I understand your problem. You saved it on your phone after making changes on your computer and that caused you to lose work?
There's a revision tracker that keeps a record of all changes you make to your deck list.
