Playtesting Feature Gone?
TappedOut forum

It looks like they redesigned the site, and now I can't figure out how to playtest. Am I missing something? Did they remove that feature altogether?
Right? I have lost the flow of my deck pages and was not a fan of the mobile changes and none too pleased with them here too. I had to spend 5 min just looking for where to find the "Viewer" and that 'Views' doesn't contain the views >.> Also mistakenly hit cycle deck trying to edit. Feels bare with it all hidden away!

Yeah, no this ain't it chief. The old UI was absolutely fantastic and this new UI is kind of atrocious. Everything was right there with one click and now I need to go through multiple menus to access things. I love TappedOut but I am not a fan of this new change.

I think i was trying to address some issues especially on mobile. The mobile has been out for a week and I haven't got much feedback but it seems the desktop has.
I think the buttons were looking pretty dated and clunky and the options themselves were kind of randomly scattered around the left column. It was definitely very busy and most of the things besides edit and playtest are not in super common use. As we added features just dumping more buttons for them didn't scale well, and I think just having the list of features is a much better approach.
With this we were able to do away completely with that column to give the deck board itself and more importantly deck updates and comments which can be very lengthy a lot more space. Also the right column is less squished.
Happy for the feedback, thanks everyone and feel free to keep it coming.

yeaGO something I would like to see, if possible, would be an accordion style collapsible option for Maybe Board and/or Sideboard. I'm definitely guilty of having pretty lengthy Maybe Boards on a few decks, to the point that I've transferred a couple over to accordion panels within their respective primers.
I figured this could be in line with your looking at giving more spatial focus/emphasis to comments, primers, and deck updates.

Yea this new layout is not good. Hiding stuff within other menus and increasing the number of clicks in order to do the same thing is unhelpful.

I think hiding the edit/playtest buttons under layers might be a mistake. Otherwise I'm generally fine with it. If possible those could be visible from the default view. Not necessarily all actions, but at least edit and playtest.

In the new updated layout, go to any of your decks while on desktop:
On the righthand side of your page, under the pricing info there are 4 tabs called Views, Actions, Analytics, and Details.
The Playtest features should be nested in the Views tab.
