# Multi-Copy Package
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Build decks that run many copies of a single card-type — Relentless Rats, Shadowborn Apostles, and more.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

|

|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Overview
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Some Magic cards have a printed exception allowing any number of copies in a Commander deck. The Multi-Copy Package feature lets you include a chosen archetype card at a configured count and builds the rest of the deck around it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Enable with `ALLOW_MUST_HAVES=1` (default: on). The **Enable Multi-Copy package** checkbox appears in the New Deck modal preferences section.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## How It Works
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. Check **Enable Multi-Copy package** in the New Deck modal.
|
|||
|
|
2. When you add an eligible card to Must Include, a **count picker dialog** appears. Set the number of copies.
|
|||
|
|
3. The builder reserves those slots for the archetype card before filling the rest of the deck from the theme pool.
|
|||
|
|
4. The multi-copy card is locked automatically and appears in Step 5 alongside the rest of the build.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The builder auto-suggests the dialog when your commander's theme tags match the archetype's trigger conditions. You can also manually add any eligible card via the quick-add input and set a count freely.

## Supported Archetypes
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
| Card | Color | Cap | Theme triggers |
|
|||
|
|
|------|-------|-----|----------------|
|
|||
|
|
| Cid, Timeless Artificer | W/U | None (20–30 suggested) | artificer kindred, artifacts matter |
|
|||
|
|
| Dragon's Approach | R | None (20–30 suggested) | burn, spellslinger, storm, copy |
|
|||
|
|
| Hare Apparent | W | None (20–30 suggested) | rabbit kindred, tokens matter |
|
|||
|
|
| Nazgûl | B | **9** (printed cap) | wraith kindred, ring, amass |
|
|||
|
|
| Persistent Petitioners | U | None (20–30 suggested) | mill, advisor kindred, control |
|
|||
|
|
| Rat Colony | B | None (20–30 suggested) | rats, swarm, aristocrats |
|
|||
|
|
| Relentless Rats | B | None (20–30 suggested) | rats, swarm, aristocrats |
|
|||
|
|
| Seven Dwarves | R | **7** (printed cap) | dwarf kindred, treasure, equipment |
|
|||
|
|
| Shadowborn Apostle | B | None (20–30 suggested) | demon kindred, aristocrats, sacrifice |
|
|||
|
|
| Slime Against Humanity | G | None (20–30 suggested) | tokens, mill, graveyard, domain |
|
|||
|
|
| Tempest Hawk | W | None (20–30 suggested) | bird kindred, aggro |
|
|||
|
|
| Templar Knight | W | None (20–30 suggested) | human kindred, knight kindred |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Cards with a **printed cap** (Nazgûl: 9, Seven Dwarves: 7) cannot exceed their cap — the count picker enforces the maximum.

## Exclusive Groups
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Rat Colony and Relentless Rats are mutually exclusive — they share the `rats` exclusive group. If both are added, a dialog will prompt you to choose one. Only one rat archetype can be active per build.
|
|||

## Count Recommendations
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For uncapped archetypes, the suggested range is **20–30 copies**. This leaves room for a commander, support spells, and lands in a 100-card deck. The sweet spot is often 20–25 copies, which allows ~15–20 support cards and ~35 lands.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Archetypes with many synergy triggers (Shadowborn Apostle, Relentless Rats) can push toward 30 when the commander specifically supports the archetype.

## Bracket Interaction
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
High copy counts of powerful archetypes can affect bracket compliance:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- **Thrumming Stone** (which many of these archetypes synergise with) is a Game Changer — using it in Bracket 2 or below will trigger a compliance warning.
|
|||
|
|
- The archetype cards themselves are generally not on the Game Changers list, but check the compliance report in Step 5 after building.

## Headless / CLI
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Set the multi-copy card and count in your JSON config via the `must_include` list. The count picker is a UI affordance — in headless mode, add the card name the desired number of times:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```json
|
|||
|
|
{
|
|||
|
|
"must_include": [
|
|||
|
|
"Relentless Rats", "Relentless Rats", "Relentless Rats",
|
|||
|
|
"Relentless Rats", "Relentless Rats"
|
|||
|
|
]
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

## FAQ
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Why doesn't the count picker appear when I add a multi-copy card?**
|
|||
|
|
The auto-suggest only triggers when your commander's theme tags match the archetype's trigger conditions. If you don't see the dialog, try adding the card manually via the quick-add input — the dialog will appear for recognized archetype names regardless of commander.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Can I run a multi-copy package with `owned_only` mode?**
|
|||
|
|
Yes, but you need that many copies of the card in your owned card library. The builder will include the configured count regardless of owned status for Must Include cards — they bypass the owned filter.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Will the multi-copy card count toward my ideal creature or spell count?**
|
|||
|
|
Yes. Multi-copy creature archetypes (e.g., Relentless Rats) count toward the creature ideal, and non-creature archetypes (e.g., Dragon's Approach) count toward the spell ideal. Adjust your ideal counts in Step 6 accordingly.
