Changelog

Everything new in SidePlan: features, improvements, and fixes.

v2.0.0 — Public guides, visual decks and higher limits

Current

06 Sep 2026

SidePlan goes public. Share a guide with a link, browse what other players publish, see your deck as card images, and build up to two guides with a team of five.

Public guides and discovery

  • Publish any guide with a toggle and share its link with anyone, no account needed to read it
  • A shared link opens the guide itself, read only: matchup plans, notes, the full decklist and every export
  • Browse published guides from the app sidebar, filtered by format and searchable by deck name
  • Add a format (Modern, Pioneer, etc.) and an archetype (Boros Energy, etc.) when publishing so people can find your guide
  • Public guides carry proper page titles and meta tags, and an auto-generated sitemap keeps search engines up to date
  • Published guides are marked with a badge in your guides list
  • Unpublishing revokes access immediately

Higher free-tier limits

  • You can now own two guides instead of one
  • Teams now hold up to five members instead of three
  • Your guides list shows how many of your guides you have used

Card autocomplete and import

  • Card inputs autocomplete from Scryfall as you type (3 characters or more)
  • Pasting a decklist validates every card name against Scryfall and flags the ones it cannot match
  • Casing-only differences are corrected automatically; close matches show a review step you can accept or skip card by card
  • The parser handles 4x and x4 quantities, Moxfield and Archidekt category headers, MTGA exports and MTGO .dek files
  • Maybeboard sections are recognised and skipped, with a notice so you know it happened
  • After parsing, a summary shows how many main deck and sideboard cards were read and lists any lines that were ignored

Visual card views

  • Decklists have a new Visual view showing card images, with the main deck grouped by card type and the sideboard below it
  • Guide matchup summaries have a Visual mode: bring-in cards get a green border, take-out cards a red one
  • Click any card in a decklist you can edit to open its card settings
  • Card settings let you paste a direct image URL when Scryfall has no art for a card, and move a card into a different type group
  • Card settings belong to the decklist, so they apply for everyone who can see it, including visitors reading a published guide

Dashboard

  • Quick-stat tiles for your decklists, guides, team and pending suggestions
  • A "Needs your attention" section gathers unread notifications, pending guide suggestions and decklist proposals
  • Suggesters see their own recent suggestions and whether each one was accepted or rejected
  • Every link goes straight to the right tab on the guide page
  • Empty sections now explain what to do next instead of showing nothing

Interface

  • Notifications can be dismissed one at a time, or cleared all at once
  • A Feedback option in the user menu, and at the bottom of this page, sends a bug report, feature request or general note straight to us
  • Guide and decklist cards keep a readable size on wide screens instead of stretching

v1.5.0 — Editor decklist access and version management

02 Aug 2026

Guide editors can now create, apply, and delete decklist versions directly. Every version shows who created it, and any version except the last can be removed.

Decklists

  • Editors on a shared guide can now create new decklist versions, apply older versions, and revert, just like the owner
  • Each version shows who created it in the version sidebar
  • Delete any version (except the last one) with the trash button next to it; if the latest version is deleted, the guide automatically falls back to the previous one
  • The shared decklists list now shows your role (Editor or Suggester) so you know what you can do

Interface

  • Public pages no longer flash a Log in button before your session is known; a brief loading state shows instead
  • Profile page: your info now lays out in two columns on wider screens, and Member since shows as a readable date

v1.4.0 — Two-column PDF export

18 Jul 2026

The guide PDF export now comes in two flavors: a compact two-column layout that fits far more on a page, and an extended layout that keeps your matchup notes.

Exports

  • New compact PDF: matchups flow across two balanced columns with tighter type, so a guide takes far fewer pages
  • New extended PDF: a single wider column that keeps each matchup's notes
  • A thin divider now separates each matchup for easier scanning

v1.3.0 — Decklist import, export, and shared decks

13 Jul 2026

Decklists now travel both ways: import them from MTG Arena and MTGO files, export or copy them in the format your client expects, and browse the decks behind guides shared with you.

Decklists

  • Export any decklist version as plain text, MTG Arena text, or an MTGO .dek file
  • Copy a decklist to the clipboard as plain text or in MTG Arena format, ready to paste into the client
  • Import a decklist from a file when creating a deck or adding a version: plain text, MTG Arena exports (set codes, About and Companion sections handled), MTGO text, and MTGO .dek files
  • Decks from guides shared with you now appear on your decklists page in a new "From shared guides" section
  • Shared decks open read only: browse their version history and export them, while changes stay with the owner

v1.2.0 — Live collaboration and creature avatars

11 Jul 2026

Guides now update live while teammates edit, you can see who is viewing alongside you, every user gets a Magic creature avatar, and shared links show proper page previews.

Guides

  • Live sync: teammates' cell edits, matchup changes, and notes appear in your grid instantly, no refresh needed
  • Suggestions update live too: proposals and reviews reach the owner and the suggester in real time
  • Presence avatars in the guide header show who else is viewing the guide right now
  • Card names and matchup headers stay visible while you scroll large grids
  • Snappier grid: cells are simple buttons until you click one to edit, so big guides stay fast
  • A pending cell edit is saved even if you close the tab right after typing

Creature avatars

  • Every user gets a personal avatar: a Magic creature (dragon, goblin, hydra and more) on a colored circle, the same everywhere and on every device
  • Avatars appear in team member lists, pending invites, guide collaborators, and the header user menu

Interface & sharing

  • Sharing a link to SidePlan now unfurls with a real title and description in chat apps and search results
  • Browser tab titles no longer flash Loading... and always show the right page name
  • Better screen reader support in the guide grid: proper table semantics and a label on every cell
  • Fixed doubled table borders and the side menu appearing underneath the guide grid

Performance

  • Database indexes on all hot queries keep guides fast as data grows
  • Card image lookups are batched instead of firing all at once

v1.1.0 — Summary view and exports

10 Jul 2026

A read-only summary view for your guide, PDF and Excel exports, matchup notes, decklist card counts, and a round of interface polish.

Guides

  • Toggle any guide between the editable table and a read-only summary that groups each matchup into bring-in and take-out cards
  • Add a note to any matchup to capture its sideboarding plan; editors write directly and suggesters propose notes for the owner to approve
  • Rename or delete matchups straight from the summary view
  • Export your guide to PDF, laid out like the summary with a section per matchup and its note below
  • Export your guide to Excel (XLSX) as a grid (a row per card, a column per matchup) plus a Notes sheet for your matchup notes

Decklists

  • See the card count next to the Main deck and Sideboard headings

Interface polish

  • Cleaner delete buttons on the guides and teams lists
  • Confirmation dialogs now share one consistent layout with a Cancel button alongside the confirm action
