An Obsidian plugin for Magic: The Gathering players. Paste a decklist into a code block and get a richly formatted, interactive deck view — with card previews, mana costs, prices, type grouping, and more.

• Type grouping — cards are automatically sorted and grouped by type (Planeswalker, Creature, Instant, Sorcery, Artifact, Enchantment, Land)
• Type summary — footer shows a count per card type with official card type icons
• Card prices — shows prices in USD, EUR, or TIX via Scryfall
• Visual grid view — toggle between list view and a visual grid of card images per section
• Collection tracking — tracks how many copies you own and highlights missing cards
• Buylist — automatically generates a buylist of missing cards
• Format validation — validates card legality per format (Modern, Legacy, Standard, etc.)

🔍 Format Validation

To validate a decklist against a format, append the format name to the code block language:

```mtg-deck-modern
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer
...
```

The following rules are validated in the section footer:

• Card legality — flags banned/not legal/restricted cards
• Deck size — flags when the deck is too small or too large for the format
• Sideboard size — flags when the sideboard exceeds the maximum for the format
• Number of copies - flags when a card is included more than the allowed times (4/1), handles cards like Hare Apparent!
• Commander rules - flags when a card is not a legal commander, or cards in the deck that or outside of the color identity

⚙️ Settings

Open Settings → MTG Deck to configure the plugin:

📦 Collection Tracking

This plugin expects your collection to be stored as CSV files with the extension .mtg.collection.csv by default.

These files are expected to be properly formed CSVs with a Name and a Count column. Column names can be configured through the settings.

Cards where you don't own enough copies are highlighted in red, and a count shows owned vs. needed (e.g. 2 / 4). A Buylist section is automatically shown at the bottom when you're missing cards.

Example CSV Files

Name,Count
Delver of Secrets // Insectile Aberration,8
"Otawara, Soaring City",4
"Rona's Vortex",2
Ledger Shredder,5

Note that your collection will consist of the merged result of all of your CSV files.
