Editing on the Public Site

The public site has no server, but you can still edit a list in it. The navbar’s Edit toggle (top-right) opens the same editor the admin site uses, running entirely in the browser, for the deck, collection, or wanted list you’re viewing. The toggle appears site-wide but is disabled on pages with nothing to edit, such as the home page.

Edits are ephemeral. Nothing is saved to a server, and nothing persists unless you choose to keep it. To keep your work, export it as a change bundle and apply it with the admin site or the import-changes command.

Edited vs. published

While editing, the navbar gains a second row to show you are viewing a local copy. It has an Original / Edited toggle to switch between your changes and the published version, and a Discard button to drop them. Press Done (the same navbar toggle) to leave edit mode. On phone-width screens both editor bars are condensed behind ⋯ menus; see Editing on touch.

What the editor can do

This is the admin editor with a few differences that follow from having no server.

• Card search. Adding cards searches Scryfall directly (preferring the shared session cache), as the Trade Planner does. Scryfall’s autocomplete API treats your query as one contiguous string, unlike the admin editor’s term matching over the local card cache (where in tre finds “In the Trenches”), so results can differ between the two editors. The search dialog notes this and links to the Scryfall docs. On a site backed by a live API, search uses the backend’s cache with the admin editor’s term matching, and the note disappears.
• Keyboard shortcuts. The editor shares the admin site’s keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+Enter opens the card search, Ctrl+B focuses the bottom action bar, and every step of the add-card dialog works with the arrow keys. Press ? (or the ? button at the end of the action bar) for the full list.
• Label a card as you add it. The add-card dialog’s Card Options row offers the new card’s label state, listing what the list type carries: the full vocabulary on a collection (plus No labels under a default), Proxy and Not a proxy on a deck (the latter under a proxy default), nothing on a wanted list. The card gets the smallest token that gives it that state under the list’s default. The label is part of the add change, so it travels in the exported bundle. Custom art is not offered here, because this editor writes no files and art lives in a file only the admin site or the CLI can write.
• Edit a card’s categories. Edit Categories… in the per-card ⋯ menu, and the action bar’s Categories dialog for the list’s whole vocabulary, work as in the admin editor. Categories travel as change events in the exported bundle and are written when the bundle is imported into the admin editor or import-changes.
• Set a card’s language. Set Language… is in the per-card ⋯ menu and the multi-select Selected menu, as in the admin editor: a picker over the 17 Scryfall card languages. Choosing English clears the line’s token, since a bare line means en.
• Move a card to another list. The per-card ⋯ menu, the per-list Selected menu, and the cross-list All Selected navbar menu each offer Move to list…, which opens a picker of your other decks, collections, and wanted lists. Moving a card removes it from the edited view and records the move in your exported bundle, along with the card’s tags, its note, and its labels as this list states them. On import a proxy stays a proxy and a real card stays real wherever both lists carry proxy, a sale/trade/keep state this list stated is kept, and a label it never stated takes the destination’s default; the destination keeps only what its type accepts (proxy into a deck, sale/trade/keep only into a collection, nothing into a wanted list) and writes the smallest token that says so. A card moved from a grouped tile carries each copy’s own note and labels. Moving a card without a printing into a collection (which needs one) opens the same printing picker the Trade Planner uses. The destination list is only updated when the bundle is later imported into the admin editor and saved.

Swap printings

On a deck or collection, Swap Printings… in the navbar’s edit row opens a wizard that re-picks printings for many cards at once, using copies you own in your other lists, and records the result as cross-list moves. The same wizard opens pre-checked on a selection from the per-list Selected menu (Swap Printings…), and on a single card from its ⋯ menu (Swap printing…). On a name-only card the single-card entry sets the printing from a copy you own elsewhere. Wanted lists have no swap entry points, since they hold no physical cards.

The steps:

1. Cards. Tick the cards to swap. (Skipped when opened on a single card.) A line with no printing shows a “no printing set” note and takes part too; it receives whatever printing you pick for it.
2. Sources. Choose which lists to draw from. Decks and collections are on by default; wanted lists are off but selectable. The list you’re editing is never a source.
3. Mode. Pick Manual (choose per card), Most expensive, or Least expensive. In every mode you can set an optional finish filter (which also seeds the picker’s quick filter) and choose where displaced copies go: back to the list each replacement came from, or one chosen deck or collection. When a checked card has no printing, a Replace the copies taken from other lists option appears (off by default). The price modes also ask what to do with cards that have an unpriced candidate: Skip them, Ignore unpriced options, or Ask me (pick by hand).
4. Pick (Manual mode, or when Ask me left cards to decide). Choose a printing per card from the copies your other lists hold.
5. Review (price modes only). Current → chosen printing with prices, per-card flags, and a Change… button to override any card.
6. Replacements (only with the replace option on). One row per source list and printing taken (1× Lightning Bolt (LEA:161) taken from Binder), each with Choose replacement… to say which printing that list gets back. No replacement leaves it a copy short.
7. Summary. The moves grouped by list, and the value before → after. Apply from here.

Picking a copy that has no printing in its source list (a wanted line, or a name-only deck line) first confirms it is that entry, then asks which printing it actually is.

Applying records each replacement as a move into the edited list and each displaced copy as a move out. The result shows in the edited view and the Changes dialog, and travels in the exported bundle’s top-level moves array. A copy arriving on a name-only line pins that line instead of adding a copy; nothing is displaced, so no move out accompanies it, and the bundle records it as a move carrying pinsCardId (plus its replacement, when one was chosen). Nothing is written until the bundle is imported into the admin editor and saved.

Exporting your edits

The Export… panel offers two ways to keep your changes:

• Download change list (JSON) or Copy JSON: a portable change bundle. Apply it later with the admin site’s Import Changes page or the import-changes command (both preview the changes and ask for confirmation), or load it into an editor as pending edits. Applied changes are re-targeted to the current card IDs.
• Download updated file: a full deck .txt (the same Moxfield decklist dialect as the header’s Download → Text), or a collection/wanted .md or .csv, with the edits applied.

Export all edited lists at once. Edit mode persists while you navigate, so edits to several lists accumulate in one session. When more than the open list has pending changes, the Export panel gains a scope toggle, This list (N changes) vs. All lists (M changes), and a Review changes section listing every pending change grouped by list. The all-lists scope downloads a single bundle, ritual-all-edits.json, that the same admin page and CLI command can import.

Export from anywhere in edit mode. The Export… button stays in the navbar’s edit row even off a single list, such as on a combined view or the home page. There it defaults to All lists, and This list is greyed out. On a combined view, a third scope, Current lists (N changes), covers just the edited lists in the combination and downloads as ritual-combined-edits.json. Download updated file and Save to this browser appear only when a single list is open.

Loading changes

Load Changes… (next to Export…) opens a dialog where you upload or paste a change-list JSON, exported from this site or from the admin editor, and apply it to the list you’re editing. The changes load as pending edits, re-targeted to the current card IDs. Any that can’t be applied are reported with a reason and skipped: the card is not in the list, the action doesn’t apply to this kind of list, or it would set a foil/etched finish on a card that pins no printing. This is the same machinery the admin editor’s import changes page uses.

Saving to this browser

The Export panel can also save the current edit session to the browser’s localStorage. This never happens automatically. When you return to a list with a saved session, the editor offers to Restore it, through the same re-target path as import. Clear saved edits removes it.
