Split cards and flip cards

4 Apr 2011

We plan to release the next version of Decked Builder to support New Phyrexia when it is released, sometime in mid May. As part of the release, we will have to support the new Phyrexian mana symbol. You can read more about it from here:

We are thus taking the opportunity to clean up our database of cards as well and add support for split cards and flip cards, which currently do not work very well. As we will be changing the database entry for these cards, decks which contain these cards might not load properly after the patch. Hopefully this is not too big of an inconvenience.

Although there are 63 cards on the list, I believe that the main cards being used are Budoka Gardener and Nezumi Graverobber, as I have gotten a few emails for proper support for those cards.

The full list of cards which will be affected are below, as well as a sample screenshot of split card support.
