What is Speed Deck Building?
A unique way to create a deck for the greatest game, magic the gathering. You see cards one at a time and you make a sudden and simple choice to either keep that card in the deck or abandon it. You only have a limited time to complete the deck so make your decision quickly. You judge too quickly and you may make a mistake you can’t come back from. The experience mixes the creative expression and fun of creating a Magic The Gathering deck while bringing the intense strategy of speed chess or RTS games.

Format:
At its current iteration you have 8 minutes to build your deck and while searching you can see any card that is both legal in legacy and is not a double sided. After building you go to the deck view. In the deck view you can add basic lands and add cards to your side board. You have a maximum of 5 cards in your side board and a minimum of 40 cards in your deck.

How to play the matches:
After deck construction you are probably itching for a match to prove your deck is the greatest and the bestest. When your deck is ready you can click on the copy to clipboard button and your deck will be available to paste. My recommendation is that you download and play with cockatrice. Cockatrice is an open source trading card game simulator. This option is best because it is free and incredibly fast to play. Here’s the link to download cockatrice.

The Controls:
The large green button you click to keep a card in your deck. The large red button you click to abandon and see the next card. On the left side there is the time clock , your cards that you added , the number of mana pips in the cost of cards you added and finally the mana curve chart. The A button can also be used to reject. The D button can be used to accept a card into your deck (or I like to say click A to Abbadon and click D if the card is Deck worthy.) After you are finished building the deck you can take cards out and in by clicking on them. Also you can not play on mobile devices!
