Formats and the banlist

Lightning Bolt

Every format is a different promise about which cards are legal — and which stories still get to be told.

Lists on this site are public constructed tables from MTGGoldfish, Moxfield, Archidekt, MTGTop8, Deckstats, and AetherHub. Commander pages include Duel Commander leagues and public Commander lists so each hub legend can have several lists. Pick a format first — lists are not mixed on the homepage.

Format FAQ

What are the three most popular formats right now?

Commander, Standard, and Modern — those names sit on the second line of the site banner.

Where do the decklists come from?

Public lists from MTGGoldfish, Moxfield, Archidekt, MTGTop8, Deckstats, and AetherHub, plus official Magic.gg Metagame Mentor aggregates. Each list page links the source. Full card images come from Scryfall.

Do buy links use affiliates?

Yes. Shop gear uses the same Amazon Associates short links as One Piece Deck Base. Every card and “Buy list” button uses TCGplayer partner c/7670706/1780961/21018.
