How to View Your Magic Decks on Moxfield
Moxfield lets you view your Magic: The Gathering decks in the format that suits you: as text or as images, in light or dark mode, and sorted by name or by price. These options are built into the deck builder, so once your decks are saved to your account, you can switch between views without changing the underlying decklist. The exact placement of each control isn't documented in the available site information, so treat the steps below as the general workflow rather than a pixel-perfect menu map.
View decks as text or images
Moxfield's stated purpose is to let you "view your Magic decks the way you want: text or images." That gives you two complementary ways to read the same list:
- Text view — best when you want to read card names, counts, and categories quickly, copy a list, or scan a decklist for curve and composition.
- Image view — best when you want to recognize cards at a glance, check art and printings, or present a deck visually.
Because both views draw on the same saved deck, switching between them doesn't alter the deck itself. A practical workflow is to build and edit in text view, then switch to image view when you want to review how the deck actually looks.
Switch between light and dark mode
Moxfield supports both light mode and dark mode. This is a display preference rather than a deck setting, so it applies to how the interface renders while you browse and edit. Choose dark mode for low-light sessions or long editing stretches, and light mode when you want higher contrast in a bright room. The setting is independent of whether you're viewing a deck as text or images, so you can combine any theme with either view.
Sort decks by name or price
Moxfield lets you sort decks by name or by price. The two sorts answer different questions:
| Sort | Useful when you want to |
|---|---|
| By name | Find a specific deck quickly, or keep a predictable alphabetical order across a large collection |
| By price | See which decks are the most expensive to build or own, or compare budget builds against pricier ones |
If you maintain many decks, sorting by price is a fast way to spot the outliers, while sorting by name is better for locating one deck in a long list.
Combining the options
These three choices are independent, so you can mix them freely. For example, you might use dark mode plus image view while browsing for inspiration, then switch to light mode plus text view plus name sort when you're editing a specific list. Nothing about one setting forces a choice in another.
What to check if a view doesn't appear
The available site information shows a loading state ("Loading Moxfield. This may take a minute..."), which means the interface is rendered dynamically. If your view options or decks don't show up right away, the practical checks are:
- Wait for the page to finish loading rather than interacting immediately.
- Confirm you're signed in to the account that holds the decks, since saved decks are tied to your account.
- Refresh once if the deck list appears empty after loading.
If a specific control's location isn't obvious, the reliable approach is to look for display and sort controls on the deck list or collection screen, since that's where viewing preferences logically apply.
