Scenario

Suppose you are playing a Sealed Deck match in Forge. The first step is to build your deck from 90 cards in Forge deck editor. Forge developers took care for all of us by supporting Ctrl + C to copy selected cards in List View mode from Deck editor. Now I took care too so you can paste selected cards as Collection in Mtgdb.Gui. The next step is to enable Filter by Collection and voila - you are working with the 90 cards from Sealed deck boosters to build your deck.

Instruction

1. In Forge select and copy (Ctrl + C) cards in List View mode.

   

2. In Mtgdb.Gui

   1. press Alt + V or pick Paste collection from Clipboard in Paste menu

   2. filter by cards in collection
