# Build X and Compare User Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The **Build X and Compare** feature allows you to build multiple decks using the same configuration and compare the results side-by-side. This is useful for:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Seeing variance**: Understand which cards are consistent vs. which cards vary due to RNG
|
||||
- **Finding optimal builds**: Compare multiple results to pick the best deck
|
||||
- **Analyzing synergies**: Use the Synergy Builder to create an optimized "best-of" deck
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Build Multiple Decks
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click **New Deck** to open the deck builder modal
|
||||
2. Configure your commander, themes, ideals, and bracket as normal
|
||||
3. At the bottom of the modal, adjust the **"Number of decks to build"** slider (1-10)
|
||||
- Setting this to 2 or more enables batch build mode
|
||||
4. Click **Quick Build** - the "Create" button is hidden for batch builds
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: All builds use the exact same configuration. There are no variations in commander, themes, or ideals - you're simply running the same build multiple times to see different card selections.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Track Progress
|
||||
|
||||
After starting a batch build, you'll see a progress screen showing:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Progress bar**: Visual indicator of completion
|
||||
- **Build status**: "Completed X of Y builds..."
|
||||
- **Time estimate**: Dynamically adjusted based on commander color count
|
||||
- 1-2 colors: 1-3 minutes
|
||||
- 3 colors: 2-4 minutes
|
||||
- 4-5 colors: 3-5 minutes
|
||||
- **First deck time**: The first deck takes ~55-60% of total time
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Compare Results
|
||||
|
||||
Once all builds complete, you'll be redirected to the **Comparison View** with:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Overview Stats
|
||||
- **Unique Cards Total**: All different cards across all builds
|
||||
- **In All Builds**: Cards that appear in every single deck
|
||||
- **In Most Builds (80%+)**: High-frequency cards
|
||||
- **In Some Builds**: Medium-frequency cards
|
||||
- **In Few Builds**: Low-frequency cards
|
||||
|
||||
#### Most Common Cards
|
||||
Shows the top 20 cards by appearance frequency, excluding guaranteed cards like:
|
||||
- Basic lands
|
||||
- Staple lands (Command Tower, Reliquary Tower, etc.)
|
||||
- Must-include cards (if using the include/exclude feature)
|
||||
- Fetch lands
|
||||
|
||||
**Tip**: Hover over any card name to see the card image!
|
||||
|
||||
#### Individual Build Summaries
|
||||
Each build shows:
|
||||
- Total card count and breakdown (Creatures, Lands, Artifacts, etc.)
|
||||
- Expandable card list with full deck contents
|
||||
|
||||
## Using the Synergy Builder
|
||||
|
||||
The **Synergy Builder** analyzes all builds and creates an optimized "best-of" deck using the most synergistic cards.
|
||||
|
||||
### How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
The Synergy Builder scores each card based on:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Frequency (50%)**: How often the card appears across builds
|
||||
- Cards in 80%+ of builds get a 10% bonus
|
||||
2. **EDHREC Rank (25%)**: Community popularity data
|
||||
3. **Theme Tags (25%)**: Alignment with your chosen themes
|
||||
|
||||
### Building a Synergy Deck
|
||||
|
||||
1. From the comparison view, click **✨ Build Synergy Deck**
|
||||
2. Wait a few seconds while the synergy deck is generated
|
||||
3. Review the results:
|
||||
- **Synergy Preview**: Shows the full deck with color-coded synergy scores
|
||||
- 🟢 Green (80-100): High synergy
|
||||
- 🔵 Blue (60-79): Good synergy
|
||||
- 🟡 Yellow (40-59): Medium synergy
|
||||
- 🟠 Orange (20-39): Low synergy
|
||||
- 🔴 Red (0-19): Very low synergy
|
||||
- Cards are organized by type (Creature, Artifact, Enchantment, etc.)
|
||||
- Each section can be expanded/collapsed for easier viewing
|
||||
|
||||
### Exporting the Synergy Deck
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click **Export Synergy Deck** at the bottom of the synergy preview
|
||||
2. **Warning**: This will delete the individual batch build files and disable batch export
|
||||
3. Confirm the export to download a ZIP containing:
|
||||
- **SynergyDeck_CommanderName.csv**: Deck list in CSV format
|
||||
- **SynergyDeck_CommanderName.txt**: Plain text deck list
|
||||
- **summary.json**: Deck statistics and metadata
|
||||
- **compliance.json**: Bracket compliance information
|
||||
- **synergy_metadata.json**: Synergy scores and build source data
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Actions
|
||||
|
||||
### Rebuild X Times
|
||||
Click **🔄 Rebuild Xx** to run the same configuration again with the same build count. This creates a new batch and redirects to the progress page.
|
||||
|
||||
### Export All Decks
|
||||
Click **Export All Decks as ZIP** to download all individual build files as a ZIP archive containing:
|
||||
- CSV and TXT files for each build (Build_1_CommanderName.csv, etc.)
|
||||
- `batch_summary.json` with metadata
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: This button is disabled after exporting a synergy deck.
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- **Parallel execution**: Builds run concurrently (max 5 at a time) for faster results
|
||||
- **Build time scales**: More colors = longer build times
|
||||
- Mono/dual color: ~1 minute per 10 builds
|
||||
- 3 colors: ~2-3 minutes per 10 builds
|
||||
- 4-5 colors: ~3-4 minutes per 10 builds
|
||||
- **First deck overhead**: The first deck in a batch takes longer due to setup
|
||||
|
||||
## Feature Flag
|
||||
|
||||
To disable this feature entirely, set `ENABLE_BATCH_BUILD=0` in your environment variables or `.env` file. This will:
|
||||
|
||||
- Hide the "Number of decks to build" slider
|
||||
- Force all builds to be single-deck builds
|
||||
- Hide comparison and synergy features
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips & Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Start small**: Try 3-5 builds first to get a feel for variance
|
||||
2. **Use for optimization**: Build 5-10 decks and pick the best result
|
||||
3. **Check consistency**: Cards appearing in 80%+ of builds are core to your strategy
|
||||
4. **Analyze variance**: Cards appearing in <50% of builds might be too situational
|
||||
5. **Synergy builder**: Best results with 5-10 source builds
|
||||
6. **Export early**: Export individual builds before creating synergy deck if you want both
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Builds are slow
|
||||
- Check your commander's color count - 4-5 color decks take longer
|
||||
- System resources - close other applications
|
||||
- First build takes longest - wait for completion before judging speed
|
||||
|
||||
### All builds look identical
|
||||
- Rare but possible - try adjusting themes or ideals for more variety
|
||||
- Check if you're using strict constraints (e.g., "owned cards only" with limited pool)
|
||||
|
||||
### Synergy deck doesn't meet ideals
|
||||
- The synergy builder aims for ±2 cards per category
|
||||
- If source builds don't have enough variety, it may relax constraints
|
||||
- Try building more source decks (7-10) for better card pool
|
||||
|
||||
### Export button disabled
|
||||
- You've already exported a synergy deck, which deletes individual batch files
|
||||
- Click "Rebuild Xx" to create a new batch if you need the files again
