Deckbuilder UI not intuitive... Any suggestions?

Loving the game, but struggling with the UI. I feel like I am constantly going back and forth between the collection and the deck. Wish I could just lay out all the cards, but hey! that's what mtg is good at.

​

Edit: Yeah, was talking about the actual card game. Been thinking more on it and I think that if I could filter in the deck stats page the same way I do in search, that would go a long way. Thanks for the replies!

I'm not sure what you mean about MTG being better at it. The interfaces are amazingly similar to me. Remember you can highlight just the factions you want to see, or select a rarity, or type a keyword in the search to only see the related cards. I find both incredible easy to use myself.

Lol MTG doesn't have an interface, I think OP is talking about the actual card game...

I assumed we were talking about the digital card game MTG Arena. Were they trying to compare laying down physical cards on a table to the Eternal interface? I don't think the technical is there yet to have cards fly out the screen onto our desks...holodeck builder maybe?

I feel like I may be misunderstanding you because aren't your collection and the deck building screen the same except for the window on the right showing your deck? I don't have the game open in front of me at the moment to know for sure. The only thing I think you may be doing is editing an existing deck. In that case the deck builder automatically filters down to that deck's colors so you can't see certain factions. However, that is easily fixed by clicking the sigils off and on at the bottom of the screen.

Please let us know any specific questions you may have about the deck builder screen. The main confusion I heard from my friends was when they were trying to add additional copies of a card that they only had one or two of. They expected the interface to start adding copies and alert them they needed to craft, but it just prevents you from adding. So, I directed them to the "crafting" button which solved their problem.

Yeah, I mean the editing. quess that's not the collection. I am going back and forth between the stats screen and the card screen.
