Reversing Decklist Display Changes

Posted on Feb 20, 2026

Our friends at Wizards of the Coast want to share news about the changes to Magic Online deck display earlier this week.

Hey Magic Online (and decklist) fans, Wizards of the Coast here. Or at least the team that works with Daybreak on data. We’re going to pull back on the decklist change we asked the Magic Online team to make earlier this week. Full stop. Keep reading if you want to see what was going on in our brains.

We have been trying to solve the problem of Magic Online data being overrepresented versus the population size in data aggregators. Along the way we got lost in the math of what a representative sample size of those decklists would look like, and we moved too fast. We do want to help aggregators get more representative slices of the metagame—including tabletop—but we’re going to go back to the drawing board on how to do that, maybe by finding better pathways for tabletop decklists to get posted on official channels, maybe by finding ways to highlight additional events, or maybe something we haven’t thought of yet. We haven’t quite cracked that yet. We’ve got some homework to do.

We’re sorry for the disruption, and we return you to your originally scheduled Magic Online decklists.
