RS-PK

EX Ruby & Sapphire to Power Keepers

The EX sets, POP Series 1 to 5 and the Nintendo promos.

Know what to fix before you sleeve it

Each format is a chip at the top of your deck: tap one to build for it, and a check marks every format the deck is already legal in.

Ban lists, with the card that breaks the rule outlined
GLC’s singleton and one-type rules, card by card

Search shows each card once. Open it and every printing is there, with its price and how many of each you already run.

03 · Prices

See what it costs to build

The deck shows what it would cost to buy, at each card’s cheapest printing. Every line shows its share, so you can see where the money goes, and every printing has its own price.

TCGplayer market prices, refreshed every few days.

04 · Draw odds

Odds you can trust

How often you open with a Basic, how often you mulligan, and for every card the chance it starts in your hand or ends up prized.

Exact numbers, not estimates
Hands with no Basic are redrawn, as the rules require, and the odds account for it

Draw odds for a 60-card deck: 83.7% of hands have a Basic, a 16.3% mulligan chance, and per-card opening and prize odds

05 · Test hands

Deal a hand before you play one

Deal an opening seven, set six prizes, draw for turn, then flip the prizes to see what you lost. Deal again as many times as you like.

06 · Phone

Built for the one in your pocket

The whole builder works on a phone: cards and deck a thumb apart, every card a tap away, and dialogs that fill the screen.
