Hi folks!  I've put together a little deck planning tool for Duels 2013 that runs in a browser.  You can give it a spin at:

happypluto.com/~misterp/wiz/planner/

The tool does NOT integrate with the game (even the Steam version). It's just a place to plan out builds.



A summary:
  • Includes the 10 base decks and the 5 decks from the first expansion
  • Create multiple custom libraries for each deck
  • Copy/paste your deck builds to the forums, with or without formatting
  • Copy/paste a "library code" from a deck on the forums to instantly build it in the planner
  • Sample hands
  • Printable "RapidRebuild" instructions give the most efficient way to assemble your custom library in-game
  • Cards can be grouped by Type (i.e. creature or spell), Cost, or Purpose (e.g. removal, draw, mill, etc.)

Feature screenshots Show







After building your library at the web site, you can copy the listing to these forums in two formats. For example, here's the starting configuration of one of the expansion decks. I've grouped the cards by "Purpose".

60 Cards. 24 Lands (9 11; 4 other).

Please reply with any issues you have, or general comments.

Thanks!

P.S.  This was a little project for me to learn web browser programming, so the craftsmanship isn't of professional quality. The main issue to be aware of is that it won't work on older browsers, and probably won't do well on mobile browsers. These Windows browsers work:  Internet Explorer 9, Firefox (latest version), and Chrome (latest version). It seems to run on Mac Safari, but it hasn't been tested there. Older Internet Explorer versions won't work.

Known issues
  • As mentioned above, older or mobile browsers are unlikely to work.


Release history
2012 09 01 (v59)
- First release
2012 09 01 (v60)
- Moved card image above histogram (requested by eaglenitewillow)
- Added horizontal spaces to forum table export (requested by Stray_Goat)
- Fixed bug where CMC of 10 showed up as two symbols in forum tables
2012 09 01 (v61)
- Forum tables use square instead of round bullet character for card count
2012 09 01 (v63)
- Figured out how to shrink line height of forum tables, much better looking now
2012 09 02 (v64)
- Incorrect card values reported by coldmist, felbatista, and Schwarzwaldz -- thank you.
- Added total card counts to forum export
2012 09 03 (v65)
- Added Trample category to Garruk deck
- Fixed Stabbing Pain cost -- thanks coldmist
2012 09 03 (v67)
- Grouping by 'Purpose' now orders the groups in a more useful way, rather than in alphabetical order of purpose
2012 09 05 (v71)
- Added menu commands to add or remove all cards from library (requested by Ranccor)
- Added library code feature
2012 09 07 (v75)
- Changed the way forum libraries are constructed. This will, I hope, stop the forum software from putting in bogus line breaks.
2012 09 10 (v77)
- Forum export adds links to this thread so that people can find out how to use the planner and library codes without asking for help
2012 09 17 (v78)
- Altered forum export code to (hopefully) prevent the issue that tripp ran into on posts #52 and #56 in this thread.
- Expansion 1 decks no longer marked (unreleased).
2012 09 27 (v80)
- Chrome and Safari now have the brown mouseover border in the correct place (fixed in WebKit 537.4, so some browsers may not have it yet)
2012 09 28 (v81)
- Fixed bug with pasted library codes: any card not in the pasted library could not be added later on
2012 11 02
- Spoilers for deck pack 1 from Top Tier Tactics.
2012 12 01
- Added land count feature for 2-color decks
- Spoilers for deck pack 2.
2012 12 06
- Sample hand feature
2012 12 14
- Color intensity feature
- Now using smiley version of X mana symbol in forum tables (was trying to avoid mixing mc tags and smileys, but decided to do it anyway).

I like how the backgrounds change colour depending on what colour the deck is, I've never actually seen that before as far as Online deck builders go and adds a pretty neat aesthetic feel.
My only gripe is that the tables are probably a little bit too thin since some of the cards e.g. Master of the Wild Hunt seems to only just be fitting on but otherwise this is pretty damn good.

Spoiler: Show

Just a test deck I made, so I can see how it looks like in spoiler tags.

Well done my friend, this is an awesome new toy to play around with, and i'm sure more will be along to thank you soon. Now, let's see if it works, and bear in mind i'm unlikely to keep this build, just playing with your program.

I like this too except for one thing:
When you put pointer over the cards, it shows the actual card on lower left.  If you are at the top of your list, you can not see it.  Is there anyway you can move up some?  Like right below the picture of the deck you are currently in.  Basically swap the spots with where it show the curve with it. 
Other than that, I love it.  Gives me the time to still do some deck editing while my kids have the tv. Which is something I have been looking for.

Thanx MMP
