Hey everyone, I’m back with another Deck Advisor update!

I thought that the update for rotation with the release of ELD was going to cause more issues than it did. I just needed some server-side tweaks, and it was good to go. I’ve pushed version 1.0.3.5 to the server and it’s ready for download, find details about what was changed in the post below!

The download links and user guide are available at the MTG Arena Zone Deck Advisor Tools Page.

Here are the features that have changed since the previous version:

Suggestions for Imported Decks

If you import one or more decks into your collection that you don’t own all of the cards for, the Deck Advisor will now add those decks to the list of decks and bubble them up to the top.

Ordering Tweak for Arena Standard

In release 1.0.3.3, the default ordering for Arena Standard decks was been modified slightly to favor win rate over expected booster cost. This was tweaked again in the latest release so that expected booster cost is still favored for decks that you don’t own all the cards for or sufficient wildcards to craft. This results in decks you are closer to crafting bubbling to the top for that category.

Minor and Under-the-Hood Changes

Some other minor and under-the-hood changes were made in this release, listed briefly here:

Fixed a server-side issue that broke the application after rotation.

Fixed an issue that was casing basic land replacement suggestions for nonbasic lands not to work correctly.

Improved the “loading” screens, added progress bars.

All planned enhancements can be found on the Github Issues Page (and any bug reports should be submitted there, as well). If you’re so inclined, go take a look and vote below on which enhancement you’d most like to see. (Or even add your own feature request on Github!)

Free Account Progress Update

I played a ton of fun decks from the MTG Arena Zone Play Any Deck Event Guide on stream yesterday. I played all of these decks, as well as a bunch of mono-color builds that Reid Duke had posted and had success with all of them (I went 8-4 overall).

Here are my current post-rotation decks for the free account:

Mono-Red Aggro (Bo3)

Calamity Red (Bo1)

Thank you to all the users who have tried out this application, and passed it on to your friends. I look forward to making further improvements, and putting together other useful tools like this in the future!

As always, feel free to send any questions, comments and criticisms to me here, on Reddit, on Twitter at @DailyArena or on Facebook via the @DailyArenaMTG page.

Cheers!
