<h3>Make a New Deck</h3>
Archidekt provides several avenues to create a new deck on the site.
For starters, there's a big New deck button on the home page.
Atop every page on the site, the pop-up Decks menu and user name menu both have a new deck link.
<div id="attachment_156196" style="width: 1026px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250612-144239_Chrome.jpg"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-156196" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-156196 size-large" src="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250612-144239_Chrome-1016x1024.jpg" alt="A screenshot of the New Deck creation screen on Archidekt." width="1016" height="1024" srcset="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250612-144239_Chrome-1016x1024.jpg 1016w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250612-144239_Chrome-298x300.jpg 298w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250612-144239_Chrome-150x150.jpg 150w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250612-144239_Chrome-768x774.jpg 768w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250612-144239_Chrome.jpg 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1016px) 100vw, 1016px" /></a>Make a new deck for any format recognized by Scryfall, or choose Custom.</div>
The deck creation page features several options.
Fill out each field, and select preferences. If the chosen format uses a commander, you may pre-select that card here.
Regardless of deck format, you can add card packages, choose a destination folder, and pick card categories to jump-start your build.
<h3>Clone an Existing Deck</h3>
You may copy another deck to create a new deck in your profile.
When viewing a deck page that belongs to another user, the Clone deck button is near the top of the page on the left.
If you want to clone your own deck, the Clone deck button is in the Extras menu.
<div id="attachment_156190" style="width: 443px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-156190" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-156190 size-full" src="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250612-142220_Chrome.jpg" alt="A screenshot of the Clone Deck button on Archidekt." width="433" height="712" srcset="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250612-142220_Chrome.jpg 433w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250612-142220_Chrome-182x300.jpg 182w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 433px) 100vw, 433px" />Clone any deck you have access to.</div>
The deck cloning feature allows you to rename the copy, choose a destination folder, and select preferences specific to how the deck will appear to you and others.

For every deck, there is an individual deck page.
The deck page visualizes your deck and gives you the controls to build and playtest it.
It's your deck; Archidekt's tools and features are flexible so you can build your way.
<div id="attachment_172354" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-12-16-4.png"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-172354" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-172354 size-large" src="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-12-16-4-1024x336.png" alt="The top of the deck page is your deckbuilding dashboard." width="1024" height="336" srcset="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-12-16-4-1024x336.png 1024w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-12-16-4-300x98.png 300w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-12-16-4-768x252.png 768w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-12-16-4-1536x504.png 1536w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-12-16-4.png 1613w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a>The top of the deck page is your deckbuilding dashboard.</div>
From the top, the deck page includes basic information about the deck. A red "Errors" next to the format indicates the deck is not legal for the chosen format. Clicking on Errors will display a pop-up with an explanation of each error that must be corrected to make a legal deck.
Next, give a deck a thumbs up if you like it. This row includes links to Share, Bookmark, and Collaborate. The eyeball indicates how many times a deck has been viewed by anyone other than the owner.
Finally, some buttons that actually do something. The first two buttons on the deck page are Import cards and Extras.
<div id="attachment_156287" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250613-203850_Chrome.jpg"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-156287" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-156287 size-large" src="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250613-203850_Chrome-1024x220.jpg" alt="A screenshot of the card import screen." width="1024" height="220" srcset="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250613-203850_Chrome-1024x220.jpg 1024w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250613-203850_Chrome-300x64.jpg 300w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250613-203850_Chrome-768x165.jpg 768w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250613-203850_Chrome-1536x330.jpg 1536w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250613-203850_Chrome.jpg 1908w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a>Import Cards as text or Archidekt files.</div>

The options in Deck settings give you direct control over what your deck is and how people interact with it. You may change the deck's name, format, accessibility, and various organizational preferences.

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Quick add</h3>
The search bar at the top of the deck page is customizable so you can add the cards you want using terms you're familiar with.
<div id="attachment_156313" style="width: 510px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250614-082902_Chrome.jpg"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-156313" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-156313 size-full" src="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250614-082902_Chrome.jpg" alt="A screenshot of the search bar on the deck page." width="500" height="661" srcset="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250614-082902_Chrome.jpg 500w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250614-082902_Chrome-227x300.jpg 227w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a>Change the search bar to suit your preferences.</div>
The simplest option here is the Quick add mode, which adds cards by name without any other specificity. You can preselect categories and automatically filter for format legality. Additionally, you can refine this search bar through Detailed add or Syntax modes.
<h3>Advanced search</h3>
The big orange "Search" button on the deck page opens a full search menu.
<div id="attachment_156314" style="width: 756px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250614-084622_Chrome.jpg"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-156314" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-156314 size-large" src="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250614-084622_Chrome-746x1024.jpg" alt="A screenshot of the Archidekt advanced card search." width="746" height="1024" srcset="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250614-084622_Chrome-746x1024.jpg 746w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250614-084622_Chrome-218x300.jpg 218w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250614-084622_Chrome-768x1055.jpg 768w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250614-084622_Chrome-1118x1536.jpg 1118w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250614-084622_Chrome.jpg 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 746px) 100vw, 746px" /></a>Advanced search uses terms Scryfall users will recognize.</div>
The card search is modal; simple, advanced, and syntax options give you control of how you find and add cards for your deck.
Archidekt's search tools use <a href="http://scryfall.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Scryfall</a>, giving you access to the most powerful Magic card database without jumping between screens or tabs.
If you prefer to use Scryfall directly, you can drag and drop card images from Scryfall into your deck on Archidekt. Drag and drop also works from EDHREC.
<h3>Card Packages</h3>
Archidekt's <a href="http://archidekt.com/card-packages" target="_blank" rel="noopener">card packages</a> are a great way to accelerate your deckbuilding process. Any user may create a card package, similar to creating a deck. You may add packages in the new deck screen, or later through the Extras menu.

The EDH Recs tab queries EDHREC for cards based on your commander and the cards already in your deck.
The Landbase tab shows you land cards based on popularity or cycle, all within your commander's color identity.
The Combos tab finds complete and partial combos in your deck, to help you power up your combo game, or tailor your deck's <a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/edhrec-guide-to-commander-brackets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bracket level</a>.

These functions on the top right side of deck page change the way you see a deck. These tools are visual only, and work independently for each user.
Any user can change the view, group, sort, price, and filters on any deck page without affecting what other users see.

<h3>View</h3>
Four viewing options allow you to see cards the way you prefer.
The default is Stacks, and the other options are Text, Grid, and Table.
View settings further improve the visual experience by adjusting card image size, margins, and other details.
<h3>Group by</h3>
The Group function changes how the cards are lumped together.
The default categories will display cards in groups by their primary assigned category.
There are many other grouping options to help you see the deck from different perspectives.
<h3>Sort by</h3>
This function changes how cards are organized within a group.
The default is alphabetical, and there are 16 other sorting options.
You may also toggle between ascending and descending order for sorting.
<h3>Price source</h3>
This data is useful if you plan to purchase cards through a particular online marketplace, or if you're building with a budget restriction.
Archidekt shows you two price sources for comparison.
<h3>Deck filter</h3>
This little text field packs a lot of power for how you view your deck.
In the simplest terms, you may enter a card name to find it in the deck without manually scrolling.
Typing a card name into the deck filter removes all other cards from view.
Clicking the plus icon presents you with additional filter options, such as card type, color tag, and collection status, among others.
Clicking the cog icon allows you to toggle from this "Local filter" to "Syntax filter."
The "Syntax filters" accepts Scryfall's robust syntax terms to tune the viewed portion of a deck.
For example, the syntax "o:target" will show only cards with the word "target" in the rules text.

Every card in a deck has a few buttons for managing the card.

In the top left, the Color tag button also shows the card quantity. You can use default color tags or make your own.
On the right side of the card image, the + and - buttons increase or decrease card quantity.
The &gt; button accesses Card options and other useful card management tools.

Pinning a card saves it for later use in a visual clipboard. There are multiple ways to pin a card.
Right-clicking on a card image, or selecting the three-dot menu below a card image opens an action menu.

A maximum of 150 cards can be pinned at a time.

Archidekt's Playtester is the best way to test a deck without the physical cards.
You may playtest your own decks, public decks, or decks in the sandbox.
Test out your theory crafting, try that Commander precon before you buy it, or take another player's deck for a spin.

Archidekt allows you to manage your collection with integrated tools to keep track of the exact editions and physical condition of any card.
Much like a deck, your collection can be searched, sorted, and filtered any way you like.

If you already have a digital list of your cards, you can import it to Archidekt as text or a .CSV file. At the top of the collection page, click the Import link.

<h3>Collecting a Deck</h3>
You can update your collection from the deck page. Click the "Extras" button, then "Add to my collection" from the menu.

When adding a deck to your collection, you can exclude categories and control quantities.
<h3>Add Singles</h3>
Adding a single card to a collection works a lot like adding a card to a deck.
You can search for individual cards from the collection screen.
Anywhere else on Archidekt, you can add a card to your collection in the card details.

If you want other people to see your collection, or you need to use it on another application, you can export or share it.
Before sharing a collection, you need to make it public.
This is done through the Extra options menu that appears beneath your user name on the collection page.
<div id="attachment_156358" style="width: 421px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250614-131000_Chrome.jpg"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-156358" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-156358 size-full" src="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250614-131000_Chrome.jpg" alt="A screenshot of extra collection options." width="411" height="353" srcset="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250614-131000_Chrome.jpg 411w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250614-131000_Chrome-300x258.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 411px) 100vw, 411px" /></a>Extra options to help you manage your collection.</div>

When selecting .CSV fields for another application, make sure those fields are compatible.
You probably don't need a MTGO ID outside of MTGO, but card names are super important.

For the player who imagines more than the cards printed by Wizards of the Coast; Archidekt now supports Custom cards.
To create and manage your custom cards, select your username on the navigation bar, hover your cursor over My other stuff, and click the link to Custom cards.

One of the best ways to bring Magic players together outside of gameplay is deckbuilding.
Archidekt embraces communal deckbuilding by providing the Collaborators feature.
You may invite other users to collaborate on your decks.
Click "Collaborate" on your deck's page, or navigate to the Collaborators tab in deck settings.
<div id="attachment_156367" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250614-135439_Chrome.jpg"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-156367" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-156367 size-large" src="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250614-135439_Chrome-1024x330.jpg" alt="A screenshot of collaborators on Archidekt." width="1024" height="330" srcset="https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250614-135439_Chrome-1024x330.jpg 1024w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250614-135439_Chrome-300x97.jpg 300w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250614-135439_Chrome-768x248.jpg 768w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250614-135439_Chrome-1536x495.jpg 1536w, https://edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot_20250614-135439_Chrome.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a>Add or remove collaborators in deck settings.</div>
A Collaborator can make changes to the contents and organization of the deck. Collaborators do not have access to anything in the deck's main settings. Edits made by collaborators are real-time, so you can work together simultaneously.
You will get a notification if someone invites you to collaborate on a deck.
You can navigate quickly to these collaborations from any Archidekt page.
Click "Decks" at the top of the screen, then select "Decks shared with me."

How To Use Archidekt, the MTG Deckbuilding Site

Got piles of Magic: The Gathering (MTG) cards all over your desk about to topple over? Been there.
Worried about ruining your Commander decks by carrying them around in rubber bands? I sure am, bruh.
Tired of ruining your cards because you stored them in your socks, and then they accidentally ended up in the laundry? Man, it's like you really know me.
If you answered Yes to any of these questions, then this guide is for you.
In this guide to storage for your MTG cards, we'll look at:
<ul>
<li>Storage basics: Why should I store my cards anywhere other than a shoebox?</li>
<li>Types of storage: What size of storage do I need? What if I want to take my cards places?</li>
<li>Top card storage brands: What are some of the best brands making storage options for MTG cards?</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Protection - A big reason we want to store our Magic cards in proper containers is to protect them from various things that can cause them harm, like:
<ul>
<li>Liquids, such as soda, rain, or delicious Mai Tais</li>
<li>Humidity</li>
<li>Sun light</li>
<li>Falls and spills</li>
<li><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Treasure Nabber" href="#" target="_blank">Treasure Nabber</a>s</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Organization - Organizing your card collection makes it so much easier to find cards that you need, whether it's to put them in a deck, to trade them at your local game store (LGS), or to sell them on sites like <a href="https://www.cardsphere.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cardsphere</a>.</li>
<li>Easier to transport - Want to take your Commander deck to your LGS to play? You can't just throw it in your glove compartment (well, you can, but try not to); you need a container that'll protect that deck while you're on the move.</li>
</ul>

The best way to store your Magic deck is in a dedicated deck box. Options for these are plentiful, and easy to find at any LGS that sells cards.
Deck boxes come in all kinds of colors, patterns, materials, coatings, and shapes. These options really come down to your personal preference and how you want your deck box to look and feel.
But there's one aspect of deck boxes that isn't up to preference, and that's size. Deck boxes come in many sizes, so it's important that you're getting one that's capable of holding your deck. For Commander players, in particular, you need to make sure that the box can hold 100 sleeved cards.
What's more, if you're <a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/should-you-double-sleeve-your-commander-decks?utm_source=edhrec" target="_blank" rel="noopener">double-sleeving your deck</a>, you'll need to account for that in the box size as well. Some deck boxes hold 100 single-sleeved cards, but not 100 double-sleeved. Check the packaging on the box to make sure it fits your needs.
Some boxes are built for holding and transporting several decks. Just like single deck boxes, these come in all kinds of shapes, sizes, and materials.

Maybe you're just looking for storage options for single cards, or a handful of cards from your collection. There are options for this as well.
To store individual cards with extra protection, you'll want to get some top loaders (a few manufacturers also make side loaders). These are hard plastic shells that you can slide an individual card into to keep it safe from liquids, dents, or curling (foil curling is a big problem with Magic cards printed in the last few years).
For storing a small number of cards, binders are a great option. Not only do they keep your cards safe, they're also great for easily viewing the cards, since the cards are stored in clear plastic pages that generally hold nine cards on each side. Binders can even be used to hold a large number of cards, as long as you get one that's big enough.
One potential drawback to binders is that you have to be careful when adding to or removing from the binder page, as too much pressure on one spot on a card can do damage to it. But if you take care, this should be avoidable.

If you love Drafting, and you've built your own <a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/cube-could-fix-your-relationship-with-magic-the-gathering" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cube to Draft with</a>, you'll need a way to store your cube cards.
Larger deck boxes are great for holding cubes. Just make sure to check the packaging on the box to see if the size meets your needs. Also remember that if your cube is sleeved, then you'll need a bigger box to accommodate.
When Cube Drafting, you may want to have shells for individual packs that you create from your cube. Some manufacturers make cube "shells" for this very purpose, which are basically just really skinny versions of deck boxes, built to hold only 15 cards - the size of a Booster pack - at a time.

Storing your Magic collection can look a lot of different ways. And no one way is the right way; it all comes down to what meets your needs without exceeding your budget.
I don't store my collection in just one way. I have a system that works for me that uses binders for holding the cards I use often, deck boxes for holding my decks, and long cardboard boxes for the bulk that gets used less frequently.
Most people tend to store really large collections in cardboard boxes built for this purpose. These boxes are usually cheap, but mostly durable. They are, however, susceptible to water damage, so make sure to keep them on a shelf off of the floor if your home is in danger of flooding.

Dragon Shield is one of the most respected sleeve makers in the business, but they also make great card storage options too, like binders, deck boxes, and cube shells.

Another brand is Ultra Pro, a company that has been around for over 70 years. Many players will recognize Ultra Pro as a common purveyor of binders, sleeves, and deck boxes with recognizable Magic art on them.
Ultra Pro typically releases new products every set release, so you can get your favorite character or scene from the set on a number of different storage options.

Ultimate Guard is also one of the top brands making storage options. They're particularly known for their large carrying boxes, like the Arkhive and Omnihive, as well as their classic Boulder deck boxes. These are known for their velvety felt inside that gives each box a premium feel and may be easier on the edges of the cards you store in them.

Gamegenic is a newer manufacturer on the scene, but they're highly regarded by many content creators in the Commander community due to their surplus of 100+ count deck storage solutions.
You can see they have a range of storage options for Cubes, and a Cards Lair for the larger slices of your collection.

Quiver Time is another newer manufacturer that has already garnered a lot of respect and support from players and creators alike. Their Bolt Card Case is incredibly popular and customizable with a few different colors. You can also hook your own strap to them (one is provided in the box) as well for that extra touch of personality.
Quivers are especially useful as soft-sided but durable storage hardware that can hold multiple decks or simply a large row of cards. You'll often see these in use at MagicCons in the Command Zone, and for good reason, they're much smaller and easier to organize than a full backpack.

MagicCon Atlanta 2025 promises to be another smash hit for industry professionals and Magic players alike. This year, Space Cow Media CTO and Archidekt founder <a href="https://mcatlanta.mtgfestivals.com/en-us/experience/panels-and-events/panel-information.html?gtID=909459&amp;panel-name=Solving-Spellify-The-EDHREC-Guessing-Game" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Andy Grimm Cassidy will be on stage alongside JMarGameDesign to talk Spellify</a>, EDHREC's card guessing game, and plans for future games coming to EDHREC.
I interviewed Andy at MagicCon Vegas 2025 to get his perspective on working alongside friends to create <a href="https://archidekt.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Archidekt</a>, a premier deckbuilder and collection tracker, as well as integrating into the <a href="https://spacecowmedia.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Space Cow Media</a> company galaxy.
<h2>The Beginning of Something Magical</h2>
LAS VEGAS - You wouldn’t know Andy Grimm Cassidy is the founder of Archidekt, a deckbuilding platform for Magic: The Gathering, if you walked by him at a MagicCon. But you know his site, and most recently, you know Archidekt’s banners posted at the event’s artist area, promoting the most recent of a litany of new features added to the site regularly.
But Grimm Cassidy, 29, has had an influence on how the greater Magic community conducts deckbuilding; and that influence is something he and his team take very seriously.
Grimm Cassidy hails from Buffalo, New York, a city he describes with affection. “Buffalo is the City of Good Neighbors,” he said. “A lot of that comes from digging each other out from piles of snow.” He might not outwardly acknowledge it, but there’s a Rust Belt, Midwestern mentality that puts community first, and it has shaped Grimm Cassidy's approach to Archidekt from its nascency.
His first Commander was <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Rhys the Redeemed" href="#" target="_blank">Rhys the Redeemed</a>, converting a nostalgic 60-card Elf deck - the first deck he piloted that actually managed to beat his older brothers in the early 2000s - into a beloved Commander deck he still has to this day.
 “We got back into it, I was like, ‘oh, Rhys is a legendary creature. I used to love this card. I'll just make this into an Elf deck,’” he said. “I just remember the first Commander game we played, we just had this board state where everyone had so much stuff, and I had 18 Elves on the board. And I was like, ‘this is the best format of Magic possible.’ Like, this is beautiful. And that's what got us hooked again.”
<h2>Building Archidekt</h2>
But Andy isn't only a Magic player. He's also a builder, in every sense of the word. Archidekt started during his college years at the University of Buffalo, following conversations between him and a group of software-engineering peers who were dissatisfied with existing deckbuilding websites. 
“We (had) just graduated, so everyone had a bunch of free time, and obviously we wanted to share the decks online and stuff. Our big option at the time was TappedOut,” he said. “Now we have a bunch of fresh software engineers with new ideas looking at this relic of a website, and the tipping point was one of my friends had found a bug. He had reached out to the TappedOut folks, and they had been (dismissive). So a bunch of us got together and were just talking about the possibility of making something better.”
That interaction inspired Grimm Cassidy and his friend Mike Drewitt to create their own alternative.
Initially, he considered Archidekt merely a personal tool. 
“In my brain, I was just building it for our friend group,” he said. “Mike said he always had the sense from the beginning it could become a business. I don't know if that's revisionist or not, but I definitely didn't suspect it would be a business until we did our official release on Reddit.”
The public launch brought both humbling critiques and a rush of enthusiasm, with commenters pointing out aspects of the platform that could be improved. But the positivity far outweighed the criticism, giving him and Drewitt the momentum needed to keep going. 
“The big things that I didn't have a lot of experience with before Archidekt were UI design and user experience,” he said. “Maybe some time we’ll dredge up the original code, to look at the original iteration of Archidekt. There are a lot of unintuitive things. We were just green software engineers that just got out of college.”
<h2>Community-Forward</h2>
While Grimm Cassidy and Drewitt learned on the fly, the site quickly gathered a dedicated user base. They found managing community feedback rewarding, yet demanding. “We very quickly added a forum and a Discord so people could provide feedback. It adds a level of work,” Grimm Cassidy said. “But that's exactly what we wanted; we wanted to have this community-driven development.”
Andy attributed Archidekt’s growing popularity to its unique appeal: a tactile, visual approach. “What was important to us was to give it the feel of laying out your cards on a playmat,” he said. 
This tactile experience has become the platform’s defining trait, deeply resonating with Commander enthusiasts who look for their deckbuilding platform to mimic the feeling of constructing a deck on a desk or kitchen table.
<h2>Finding the Space Cow Media Galaxy</h2>
A crucial turning point came with their integration with EDHREC, a symbiotic partnership beneficial for both sites that began as a data-sharing association. EDHREC founder <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/donaldminer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Don Miner</a> even approached Grimm Cassidy early on in Archidekt’s life, offering to buy the burgeoning website outright. 
Fresh out of college and living with his parents, Grimm Cassidy turned down the tempting offer. “I could wait him out. I was having fun, so I could just continue on with that. And Don was obviously very understanding,” he said. “His policy is always just to help everyone in the Magic community out. It builds (the community) up, and you end up with these partners that have good will towards you.”
His patience paid off. Archidekt grew steadily, gaining popularity and financial viability. When the COVID pandemic hit, after a brief uncertainty, the site experienced significant and rapid growth as people turned to Magic, and specifically Commander, as an outlet during lockdowns and social distancing.
 Eventually, Grimm Cassidy and Miner revisited their partnership, merging Archidekt with EDHREC under the Space Cow Media banner. “The sign of a good merger is that when you look back, everyone's happy,” Grimm Cassidy said. “And everyone's happy.”
<h2>Archidekt's Future Past</h2>
Grimm Cassidy’s long-term vision for Archidekt remains community-focused. “It’s just a matter of responding to the community and constantly improving our craft,” he said. For him, the project embodies dedication and continuous evolution.
Some of the more broad-reaching impacts on the community Archidekt has had weren't things he expected when beginning to craft what grew to become the site today. “The way Magic players now interact as a community has so much to do with how they brew decks and how they share decks,” he said.
And with the recent implementation of <a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/edhrec-guide-to-commander-brackets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Bracket System</a>, there's an increased need for documentation - of Commander decks and the cards each deck contains.
 “There now needs to be an understanding of ‘What combos are in my deck?’ You know, ‘How many <a href="https://edhrec.com/top/game-changers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Game Changers</a>? How many extra turns?’ There's just this increasing need for documentation as the game grows larger,” said Grimm Cassidy. “There are just so many cards to search through. It’s tough to build Commander decks without tools now. So it's interesting that now we've become a part of this community. In a way, it's gratifying, for sure, and also sometimes humbling, because there's some responsibility.” 
Nearly a decade later, Grimm Cassidy reflected on seeing the Archidekt banner at the largest Magic event of the year. “That logo is something that I just made in some image editor eight years ago. That font is just a Google font that I picked, that I thought looked good. But that's not something anyone walking by would know,” he said.

 “It's a weird disconnect to me; this is something so personal. I personally dragged the lines to make it, but it’s now something that people just walk by at a convention, and it's just another thing.” 
The banners bring up a mixture of emotions for Andy. “It's gratifying, it's humbling, and also has that weird kind of disconnect. There’s a lot of personal connection and a lot of personal meaning behind these projects. They're not just like faceless websites,” he said. “And that's one of the most gratifying things about this job. You are not often, as a software engineer, both the user and the developer. But for pretty much everything we work on at Space Cow, we are both, which is so much fun.
<h2>Spellify at MagicCon Atlanta 2025</h2>
And now, Andy Grimm Cassidy's work alongside Archidekt developer Ben helped launch an addicting card guessing game, Spellify. At MagicCon Atlanta, you'll get all the details on Spellify's launch, tips and tricks, and be able see inside the mind of one of the best deckbuilders and gamemakers in the business (and no doubt there will be a few surprises thrown into the mix).
