Including Favorite/Target Decks in Pack Recommendation Calculations

I suspect this feature has already been requested, and since the Decks tab seems relatively new, it may already be on the roadmap. That said, I wanted to outline this use case clearly because for players focused on competitive deck building, this would be the final piece needed to make the pack recommendation system truly comprehensive.

Feature Request: Filter pack recommendations by target deck(s)

Currently, the Overview tab shows the probability of pulling a “new” card from each pack. This is great for collection completion, but many players care more about efficiently building competitive decks than completing their collection.

Proposed functionality:

Allow users to select one or more decks from the Decks tab (or eventually custom decks) as “targets.” Pack recommendations would then calculate probabilities based only on cards needed for those specific decks, essentially treating all other cards as “already collected.”

For example: If I’m only interested in building S-tier decks, I want to know which pack gives me the highest probability of pulling a new card that’s actually used in any one of those top-performing decks - taking into account the quantities of each card used in the decks and already in my collection.

Implementation considerations:

Minimal version: Add a “favorite/target” toggle to meta decks in the Decks tab, then add a filter toggle in the Overview tab to switch between “all new cards” and “cards needed for target decks”

Full version: Include the ability to save custom decks to user accounts, expanding the targeting beyond just meta decks

I recognize this adds complexity, but I believe it would significantly enhance the tool’s value for the competitive player base. Happy to discuss further or clarify the use case if helpful!

I think that makes sense. One question; would you like to see in the overview the best pack to open for a specific pack - in this case you select the deck from a dropdown), or do you need to best pack to open over multiple decks combined?

I think it would make sense to have a favorite button in the deck details to favorite a deck (doesn’t matter if it’s a meta deck, your own deck, or a shared deck). Then on the overview page would could add a dropdown with a multiselect (inc search) where you can select one or multiple decks that will be used for the calculation. The selection we can save, so it’s remembered next time you open the site.

I think being able to select multiple decks is important. That’s where newer players will derive the most value. In finding packs that can help them progress toward multiple meta decks at the same time.

Whether or not this happens from a drop down on the overview page or by adding decks to a favorite lists and toggling the filter on and off is irrelevant to me personally. Which ever feels more intuitive I suppose.
