Card Pool
The Card Pool window lists the cards available for you to build
decks with. It normally shows only the cards in your collection. However,
if you clear the My cards check box, the Card Pool will show
all Magic cards in the set or sets you're looking at. Using the
card search filter changes the cards shown here. See Deck
Editor and Deck Builder Card Search Filters for more information
on displaying cards in the Card Pool window.
Deck
The Deck window is where you build your main deck. It shows
the list of cards in the current deck, lets you add and remove cards, and
shows how many cards are currently in the deck. Constructed-format decks
have to have at least sixty cards, but you can have more cards than that
if you want. You can save a deck with less than sixty cards in the main
deck, but you can't play it in a game. You can't add more than four copies
of any card other than basic land to your deck.
Sideboard
The Sideboard window shows the list of cards in the sideboard
of the current deck. It also lets you add and remove cards and shows how
many cards are currently in the sideboard. In the Magic Online
game, each Constructed-format deck includes a sideboard. When you save
a deck from the Deck Editor screen, the sideboard is saved along
with that deck. The sideboard must contain either zero or fifteen cards.
You can save a deck when the sideboard has any number of cards in it, but
you can't play the deck in a game. You can't add more than four copies
of any card other than basic land to your sideboard.
Card Display Area
The card display area shows you larger images of cards.
Card Search Filter
The card search filter helps you find specific cards in your card pool.
See the Deck Editor and Deck Builder
Card Search Filters section for information.
Buttons
The row of buttons along the bottom of the screen
let you save the deck you're working on, load an existing deck, or start

Table View
The table layout shows each card on a separate line with different
information in each column.
You can click a column heading to sort the cards in ascending or descending order by the information in that column. For instance, if you click the name column, you can sort the cards in that window alphabetically by card name.
Dragging the line on the right of a column changes the width of that column. The scroll bars are used to see information that doesn't fit on the screen.
You can drag a card to move one copy of it from one window to another. You can also right-click a card to move copies of it to another window. To select multiple cards at once, hold down the SHIFT key.
To see what a card looks like, click anywhere in that card's row. The card will appear in the card display in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Card View
The card view lets you see your cards as they look in a game. You can
use the scroll bars to see cards that don't fit in the window.
You can also change how cards are shown in the card view on the Display Settings window. To open the Display Settings window, right-click the background of a window and select Display Settings.
To sort cards in the Deck or Sideboard windows, you can right-click the background and select a sorting option. You can also right-click a pile and select Sort pile to order the cards in a pile by card type and converted mana cost.
To move one copy of a card, you can drag the card to the window or pile you want it in. You can also move a card by right-clicking the card and selecting the window you want to move it to. To move several cards at once, drag a box around the cards you want, then drag the selected cards to another window or pile.
To see a larger version of a card, point at the card. The card will appear in the card display in the bottom left corner of the screen.

The Card Pool, Deck, and Sideboard windows can
each be minimized by clicking on the minimize button in the upper right
