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!

⚙️ 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 such as those generated by tools like Deckbox.

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,Set
Delver of Secrets // Insectile Aberration,8,MID
"Otawara, Soaring City",4,NEO
"Rona's Vortex",2,DMU

Name,Count,Set
Delver of Secrets // Insectile Aberration,1,MID
"Otawara, Soaring City",6,NEO
"Rona's Vortex",3,DMU
Ledger Shredder,5,SNC

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