Simply paste your deck from MTGO, MTG Goldfish, Tappedout, or any supported format into the "Main Deck" field. The generator will automatically parse your cards, validate them, and create a tournament-ready PDF registration sheet for WotC or SCG events.

What deck formats are supported?

Our decklist generator supports MTGO (Magic Online), MTG Goldfish, Tappedout, MTG Salvation, Deckbox "Print" format, and MWS (Magic Workstation) formats. You can paste decklists directly without needing to separate the sideboard.

Can I create both WotC and SCG registration sheets?

Yes! You can choose between Wizards of the Coast (WotC) official tournament registration sheets or Star City Games (SCG) format sheets using the decksheet format selector.

How do I save and share my decklist?

Use the "Copy Permalink" button to generate a unique URL that pre-fills all your deck information. You can share this link with others or use it to quickly load your deck later. You can also save decklists locally using the "Save Decklist" button.

Does the generator validate card legality?

Yes! The generator automatically validates your cards against our database and will warn you if your deck contains fewer or more than 60 cards in the main deck.
