# 🃏 MTG Python Deckbuilder [![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) [![Python 3.11+](https://img.shields.io/badge/python-3.11+-blue.svg)](https://www.python.org/downloads/) [![Docker](https://img.shields.io/badge/docker-supported-blue.svg)](https://www.docker.com/) A fast, menu-driven deckbuilder for MTG Commander/EDH with both CLI and Web UI. Supports interactive and headless runs, CSV/TXT exports, owned-card libraries, and Docker. ## 🔹 Features - Web UI and CLI, powered by the same builder - Commander search with smart theme tagging (primary/secondary/tertiary) - Power bracket selection and ideal count prompts - CSV and TXT exports with stable filenames - Headless mode (non-interactive) and a headless submenu in the main menu - Config precedence: CLI > env > JSON > defaults ## ✨ Highlights - Smart tagging and suggestions for commander + themes, with AND/OR combine modes - Exports CSV and TXT decklists to `deck_files/` - Owned-cards mode: point to one or more `.txt`/`.csv` files in `owned_cards/` and choose "Use only owned cards?" - If you opt out, final CSV marks owned cards with an `Owned` column - Interactive menu with a headless submenu - Works locally or in Docker (Windows PowerShell friendly) - Card images and data via Scryfall (attribution shown in the Web UI) ## 🚀 Quick start ### Docker Hub (PowerShell) ```powershell docker run -it --rm ` -v "${PWD}/deck_files:/app/deck_files" ` -v "${PWD}/logs:/app/logs" ` -v "${PWD}/csv_files:/app/csv_files" ` -v "${PWD}/owned_cards:/app/owned_cards" ` -v "${PWD}/config:/app/config" ` mwisnowski/mtg-python-deckbuilder:latest ``` ### From source ```powershell pip install -r requirements.txt python code/main.py ``` ### From this repo with Docker Compose (PowerShell) ```powershell docker compose build docker compose run --rm mtg-deckbuilder ``` ## 🌐 Web UI Run the browser-based UI backed by the same deckbuilding engine. ### From source ```powershell pip install -r requirements.txt uvicorn code.web.app:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8080 ``` Open http://127.0.0.1:8080 ### Docker Compose (PowerShell) ```powershell docker compose build web docker compose up --no-deps web ``` Then open http://localhost:8080 Notes: - Exports/logs/configs use the same folders and will appear under your mounted volumes (see compose file). - The footer includes Scryfall attribution per their guidelines. ## 🤖 Headless mode (no prompts) - Auto-headless: set `DECK_MODE=headless` - Example (PowerShell): ```powershell docker compose run --rm -e DECK_MODE=headless mtg-deckbuilder ``` - Use a JSON config: mount `./config` to `/app/config` and set `DECK_CONFIG=/app/config/deck.json` - Example (PowerShell): ```powershell docker compose run --rm ` -e DECK_MODE=headless ` -e DECK_CONFIG=/app/config/deck.json ` mtg-deckbuilder ``` - Override via env vars (subset): `DECK_COMMANDER`, `DECK_PRIMARY_CHOICE`, `DECK_SECONDARY_CHOICE`, `DECK_TERTIARY_CHOICE`, `DECK_ADD_LANDS`, `DECK_FETCH_COUNT`, `DECK_BRACKET_LEVEL` - Precedence: CLI > env > JSON > defaults Headless submenu notes: - If one JSON exists in `config/`, it auto-runs it - If multiple exist, they’re listed as "Commander - Theme1, Theme2, Theme3"; `deck.json` shows as "Default" - CSV/TXT are exported as usual; JSON run-config is exported only in interactive runs ### Run locally (no Docker) ```powershell # Show resolved settings (no run) python code/headless_runner.py --config config/deck.json --dry-run # Run with a specific config file python code/headless_runner.py --config config/deck.json # Point to a folder; if exactly one config exists, it's auto-used python code/headless_runner.py --config config # Override via CLI python code/headless_runner.py --commander "Pantlaza, Sun-Favored" --primary-choice 2 --secondary-choice 0 --add-lands true --fetch-count 3 ``` ### CLI flags - --config Path to JSON config file or a folder to discover configs (uses DECK_CONFIG by default) - --commander Commander name to search and select - --primary-choice Primary theme index - --secondary-choice Secondary theme index or omit with "none" - --tertiary-choice Tertiary theme index or omit with "none" - --add-lands Include land building steps (true/false) - --fetch-count Requested number of fetch lands - --dual-count Requested number of dual lands (optional; not exported) - --triple-count Requested number of triple lands (optional; not exported) - --utility-count Requested number of utility lands (optional; not exported) - --add-creatures Add creatures - --add-non-creature-spells Add non-creature spells orchestrator - --add-ramp Add ramp (when not using orchestrator) - --add-removal Add removal (when not using orchestrator) - --add-wipes Add board wipes (when not using orchestrator) - --add-card-advantage Add card draw (when not using orchestrator) - --add-protection Add protection (when not using orchestrator) - --bracket-level <1-5> Power bracket selection (or use DECK_BRACKET_LEVEL) - --dry-run Print resolved config and exit Booleans accept: 1/0, true/false, yes/no, on/off. ### JSON export in headless - By default, headless runs do not export a JSON run-config to avoid duplicates. - Opt-in with: ```powershell $env:HEADLESS_EXPORT_JSON = "1" python code/headless_runner.py --config config/deck.json ``` - Tip: when opting in, prefer using `--config` instead of a `DECK_CONFIG` file path to avoid creating both a stem-based JSON and a second explicit-path JSON. Example JSON (`config/deck.json`): ```json { "commander": "Pantlaza", "bracket_level": 3, "primary_choice": 2, "secondary_choice": 2, "tertiary_choice": 2, "tag_mode": "OR", // OR or AND; Web UI default is OR "add_lands": true, "fetch_count": 3, "ideal_counts": { "ramp": 10, "lands": 36, "basic_lands": 16, "creatures": 28, "removal": 8, "wipes": 3, "card_advantage": 8, "protection": 3 } } ``` Notes: headless honors `ideal_counts` (leave prompts blank to accept). Only `fetch_count` is tracked/exported for lands. ## 🧩 Theme combine mode (AND/OR) - OR (default): Recommend cards that match any selected themes, prioritizing overlap. - AND: Prioritize multi-theme intersections. For creatures, an AND pre-pass first picks "all selected themes" creatures up to a cap, then fills by weighted overlap. UI tips: - Step 2 includes AND/OR radios with a tooltip explaining trade-offs. - In staged build view, "Creatures: All-Theme" shows which selected themes each card hits. ## 🕹️ Usage (interactive) 1) Start the app (Docker or from source) 2) Pick Build a New Deck 3) Search/confirm commander 4) Pick primary/secondary/tertiary themes (or stop at primary); choose AND/OR combine mode 5) Choose power bracket and review ideal counts 6) Deck builds; CSV/TXT export to `deck_files/` ## ⚙️ Environment variables (common) - DECK_MODE=headless - DECK_CONFIG=/app/config/deck.json - DECK_COMMANDER, DECK_PRIMARY_CHOICE, DECK_SECONDARY_CHOICE, DECK_TERTIARY_CHOICE - DECK_ADD_LANDS, DECK_FETCH_COUNT - DECK_ADD_CREATURES, DECK_ADD_NON_CREATURE_SPELLS, DECK_ADD_RAMP, DECK_ADD_REMOVAL, DECK_ADD_WIPES, DECK_ADD_CARD_ADVANTAGE, DECK_ADD_PROTECTION - DECK_BRACKET_LEVEL Optional name-based tag overrides (mapped to indices for the chosen commander): - DECK_PRIMARY_TAG, DECK_SECONDARY_TAG, DECK_TERTIARY_TAG Combine mode in headless: - JSON: set `"tag_mode": "AND" | "OR"` - Env var: `DECK_TAG_MODE=AND|OR` (if configured in your environment) ## 📁 Folders - `deck_files/` — CSV/TXT exports - `csv_files/` — card data - `logs/` — logs - `config/` — JSON configs (optional) - `owned_cards/` — your owned cards lists (`.txt`/`.csv`); used for owned-only builds and Owned flagging ## 🧰 Troubleshooting - Use `docker compose run --rm` (not `up`) for interactive sessions - Ensure volumes are mounted so files persist (`deck_files`, `logs`, `csv_files`) - For headless with config, mount `./config:/app/config` and set `DECK_CONFIG` - Card data refresh: if `csv_files/cards.csv` is missing or older than 7 days, the app refreshes data and re-tags automatically. A `.tagging_complete.json` file in `csv_files/` indicates tagging completion. ## 📦 Releases - Release notes are maintained in `RELEASE_NOTES_TEMPLATE.md`. Automated workflows read from this file to populate Docker Hub and GitHub releases. ## 🧩 Owned cards library - Place `.txt` or `.csv` lists in `owned_cards/` (one card name per line for `.txt`; any `.csv` with a `name` column works). - After commander selection, you’ll be prompted: "Use only owned cards?" - Yes: deck builds from owned cards only; if fewer than 100 cards, it stays incomplete and prints a note. - No: the build uses the full pool, but the final CSV marks owned cards with an `Owned` column. - If an owned-only build is incomplete, a recommendations file is exported: `deck_files/[stem]_recommendations.csv` and `.txt`. The app prints: "Recommended but unowned cards in deck_files/[stem]_recommendations.csv". ## 📄 License & help - License: MIT (see `LICENSE`) - Issues/Requests: GitHub Issues/Discussions - Docker details: see `DOCKER.md`
