Crew Builder turns a leader and a playstyle into a tournament-grounded OPTCG deck in seconds. Pick the captain you want to sail under, name your playstyle (aggro, control, ramp, combo, or removal — only the ones that match your leader's colors are shown), and the engine assembles a meta-validated 50-card list grounded in real tournament data. Every recommendation carries a short, plain-English "why this card?" explanation shown inline — never buried in a sub-menu. Three ways to build, every leader: • Tournament — the verbatim winning list from a real event. No edits, no guesswork. • Optimal — the engine assembles the strongest list it can, grounded in tournament data and synergy scoring. • Experimental — for new and niche leaders with no tournament data yet; the engine pushes synergy harder. Clearly labeled. Tell Crew Builder which sets you own and the engine restricts every recommendation to cards you can actually pull from your binder. Per-card alternatives, every alt-art printing, live TCGplayer pricing, and a prioritized shopping list with direct buy links. When a banlist change hits a deck you've saved, Crew Builder sends you a push notification straight away. Save up to three decks for free, sync across your devices, view fully offline. Sign in with Apple or Google. Crew Builder Pro ($9.99 / mo) unlocks: • Themed deck building • Multi-Deck Inventory — does your real collection physically build several saved decks at once? • Meta archetype browse — auto-detected sub-builds inside each meta leader • Card scanner — point your phone at a printed card; on-device OCR reads the code, no photos leave your device • Side-by-side compare for up to five cards or five tournament decks • Full collection tracking — log more than four copies of any card • Unlimited saved decks Free to use.
