I play EDH and Limited.

I used to really streamline my decks towards their main focus, at the cost of being well rounded and able to deal with a variety of threats. Lately, I've tried to shy away from this, but I've been having trouble with the transition. My Daxos the Exalted is a good example of my deck building style, and how it has changed over the years.

You use the "#" symbol for categories, and there are two ways to list cards within a category.

The first is to add "#Category_Name" (without quotes) (the "_" is there because I don't believe this method supports spaces) after each card. For example:

1x Archmage Ascension (ZEN) #Card_Advantage
1x Dig Through Time (UMA) #Card_Advantage
1x Lavinia, Foil to Conspiracy #Card_Advantage
1x Memory Deluge (MID) #Card_Advantage
1x Treasure Cruise (UMA) #Card_Advantage
1x Arcane Sanctum #Land
1x Archway of Innovation #Land
...

The other is to add "# Card Advantage" (again, no quotes) (yes, this version supports spaces) in the deck list, and then have cards listed under it. Every card will be considered part of that category. For example:

# Card Advantage
1x Archmage Ascension (ZEN)
1x Dig Through Time (UMA)
1x Lavinia, Foil to Conspiracy
1x Memory Deluge (MID)
1x Treasure Cruise (UMA)

# Land
1x Arcane Sanctum
1x Archway of Innovation
...

That is how a deck of mine is listed in the deck edit page. TappedOut will sometimes change your formatting from one type to the other. It doesn't change anything about your deck or the categories, I mention it in case TO changes the way you formatted categories, so you won't be surprised and spend way too much time making sure nothing has changed haha.

Finally, at the bottom left of the deck edit page, make sure to change the "Default category" from "Type" to "Custom"! This will make sure everyone (including you) sees your deck sorted by the categories you made.

Bookrook I think you meant to tag me about the homebrew mulligan rule haha. To respond to your concern: that is not something that has ever been considered. If you don't trust the people you play with, then just don't do mulligans this way. This is why you talk about stuff like this before you play. If I sat down at a table and tried this without discussing it, I would expect to be called out for it immediately.

For context, I have two playgroups, each having a pod of 4-6 players (depending on who shows up to my place/the LGS), and we use this rule. The only deck that isn't allowed to do this is the No Land Narset combo deck lol. Similarly, when we play our more tuned decks, we don't do this.

My playgroup has a rule 0 we use to help games start better. Conditions you have to meet:

  • You have not taken a mulligan yet
  • Your hand has 0, 1, 6, or 7 lands in it

If you meet those, instead of taking a normal mulligan, you:

  1. Fan out your hand faceup for everyone to see
  2. Draw 7

You can do this as many times as you want, as long as you meet the conditions. If your deck runs out of cards, shuffle up and start over. This happened once, when the Krenko player shuffled all his mountains to the bottom of his deck.
