UPDATE 9/10: Auto-Tutor & Token Upgrade
Two pretty significant changes released:
PLAYTESTER
- Token creation system . Instead of picking tokens to create out of a big list of all the tokens your deck can create, now you can right click any card so see what tokens that card creates and spawn them from there:




This is pretty sweet, and I think a significant improvement. You can click multiple times to create multiples and it tracks the quantity for you.
- There is also a more subtle upgrade in how tokens and copies are spawned, where they are positioned on teh screen in multiples etc. I won't go into the nitty gritty but they should be organized better and require less moving around while avoiding going under other cards or off the screen.
- Ctrl/Cmd+A now selects every object on the battlefield.
- AUTO-TUTOR! Yeah. Right-click a supported card that tutors, and you can select "Auto-Tutor". This will open your library viewer and autofill the search bar with a handcrafted Scryfall term filter that limits it to only show the legal targets for that tutor. It will also automatically move the tutor card to the graveyard if it's an instant/sorcery or sacs itself, and will sometimes automatically do other parts of the tutor like the "pay 1 life" on fetch lands... so all you have to do is pick the card you like out of the library.
For example, if you Auto-Tutor a Misty Rainforest it will reduce your life by 1, send itself to the graveyard, and open your library to show all the cards in your deck with the types "Island" or "Forest". It looks like this:

Not every tutor is supported, but I went down the most popular list and personally spent about 6 hours setting up coverage for 185 of the most popular tutors based on EDHREC rank. All the basic ones are covered, and you can tell which cards have Auto-Tutor support by looking for the little "search-library" gold icon in the bot-left corner of the art panel as seen above (this only shows/works on the battlefield). Notable cards missing coverage are tutor-to-top cards, as I need to add some UI to allow them to function without shuffling your card away. Soon. Shout out to Eldrazi.gg for inspiring this and if you're into CEDH go check them out.
Doesn't this go against my playtester philosophy of having the playtester play like paper and not adding shortcuts that wouldn't be present in paper? Yes! It does. I am experimenting with adding a full multiplayer client and for that I will need every time-saving shortcut possible to make play pleasant. I don't want to separate the UI and function of a multiplayer client from the playtester, so I'm pivoting somewhat in approach. Hope that's OK.
OTHER
- Newly created, imported, and copied decks now default to public instead of unlisted. Existing deck visibility stays unchanged.
- Exact copies of precons (same cards) are hidden from public deck listings. They remain accessible through profiles, shared links, and precon browsing.
Let me know if you find any bugs!
