	Sideboarding

The Sideboarding screen is where you can exchange cards in your deck for cards in your sideboard. This screen will open after the first and subsequent games in a match. See Sideboarding Rules for more information. You can move cards between your deck and sideboard, and also add basic lands to your deck (in a draft event) or exchange basic lands (in a Sealed Deck event). See Display Options for more information. You have a limited amount of time to sideboard in most events. See Submit for more information. The Sideboarding screen works almost exactly like the Deck Builder screen.

Sideboard
The Sideboard window shows all cards in your deck's sideboard. In Constructed-format events, this is the fifteen-card sideboard you included with the deck. In Limited-format events, this includes any cards you received during the event but didn't put into your main deck.

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 Sideboard and Deck windows.

Deck
The Deck window shows your main deck as it looked for the last game in the match. It shows all cards in the current deck, lets you add and remove cards, and shows how many cards are currently in the deck.

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 Sideboard and Deck windows.

Chat
The Chat window is where you can talk with other players in the match while you're sideboarding. The right side of the Chat window shows the list of players who can see what you type.

Card Display Area
The card display area shows you larger images of cards in the Sideboard and Deck windows. Right-click on the image to change its size.

Card Search Filter
The card search filter helps you find specific cards in the Sideboard and Deck windows. See the Deck Editing and Deck Builder Card Search Filters section for information.

Buttons
The row of buttons along the bottom of the screen lets you save or load a version of your deck and submit your deck for play. There are also buttons that let you concede or adjourn a match and get statistics to help you analyze your deck list.

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 left of a column changes the width of that column. You can use the scroll bars are to see information that doesn't fit on the screen.

You can drag a card to move one copy from one window to another. You can also right click a card to move one or more copies to another window.

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 from 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 Sideboard or Deck 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, either drag a box around the cards you want or hold down the SHIFT key and click cards to select them. 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.

Minimize 
The Sideboard, Deck, and Chat windows can each be minimized by clicking on the minimize button in the upper right corner of each window. When a window is minimized, its name will appear on a blue bar at the bottom of your screen. You can click a blue bar to restore the minimized window to its full size.

To exchange land on the Deck Builder screen, you need to have the Sideboard or the Deck window (whichever has the land in it that you want to exchange) in card view. Right-click the basic land you want to exchange and select Exchange basic land. When the Land Selection window appears, click the basic land type you want to exchange for.

Both players' decks and sideboards are returned to their original compositions before the first game of each match. If a penalty causes a player to forfeit the first game in a match before that game began, none of the players may use cards from their sideboards for the second game.

Before the beginning of the second or subsequent game in a match, players may change the composition of their decks by exchanging cards from their decks for cards in their sideboards. There is a limited amount of time to sideboard in most events. If a player hasn't submitted changes to his or her deck before the time runs out, the Magic Online game will automatically load the deck as it was for the last game played in the current match.

Constructed-format events
When a player joins a Constructed-format event, the deck he or she chooses to play may include a sideboard of fifteen cards.

There are no restrictions on the number of cards a player may exchange this way as long as one card from the deck is traded for one in the sideboard.

Any sideboarding must be made on a one-for-one basis to ensure the sideboards remain at exactly fifteen cards at all times.

Limited-format events
Any drafted or opened cards not used in a player's Limited deck function as his or her sideboard.

There are no restrictions on the number of cards a player may exchange this way as long as the play deck contains at least forty cards.

Cards don't need to be exchanged on a one-for-one basis.

Save As 
Click this button to save the current deck with a different file name or to a different location. The Save Deck As window will pop up and you can choose where you want to save the deck and enter a deck name. Then click Save.

Load 
Click this button to load a previously saved version of the deck you're playing. The Load Deck window will pop up and you can choose the deck you want to load. Then click Load.

Draw
Clicking this button sends an offer to your opponents to consider the match a draw. If all opponents agree, the match ends and is recorded as a draw.

Concede 
Click this button if you want to concede the match to your opponent. A window will pop up asking if you're sure you want to concede. If you click the OK button, your opponent gets a match win.

Adjourn 
Click this button if you'd like to continue this game at another time. See Adjourn for more information.

Statistics 
This button opens the Statistics window. You can use the Statistics window to analyze your deck. See the Statistics section for more information.

Submit 
When you've finished sideboarding, click the Submit button. If you haven't submitted changes to your deck before the time runs out, the Magic Online game will automatically load the deck as it was for the last game of the current match.

If you're the last person to submit a deck, play begins when you click Submit. If you're waiting for another player to submit a deck, you can continue to make changes to your deck. If you do change the cards in your deck, you have to click Submit again. Your deck for the game will contain whatever cards were in your deck the last time you clicked the Submit button.

Add Land(Draft events only)
If you're playing in a draft game, you probably didn't pick many land cards to put in your deck. Click the Add Land button to add basic lands to your deck. When you click the button, the Land Selection window appears. Click on a basic land to add one basic land of that type to your deck. You can add as many basic lands to your deck as you want. Click the Done button to close the Land Selection window.
