Talk:Magic: The Gathering Arena/Preconstructed decks
Fireworks deck outdated
At least the Fireworks one seems outdated, only 1 Creative Outburst out of 2 and none of the 2 Umara Wizards ? --90.48.237.79 21:38, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
Starter deck differences
Several of my starter decks had differences compared to the article. I'm sure I didn't change them, and I found the exact same decks listed by others on other websites. Likely there were different variants over time.

Page size
The purchasable precons are accelerating much faster than expected, with another five decks out this week. Additionally, they seem to rotate out faster than expected as well, as the previous two cycles are now gone, though the announcements page have the decklists. As a result, the current October update is another 10k bytes, and the page will breach 100k, which makes it probably the second longest page on the site. Is that a good reason to split off purchasable decks to another subpage? 114.76.198.69 01:08, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- Absolutely. I think it would qualify for a subpage. Maybe separate the ones we get for free and the ones we can purchase, especially with your observations of the rates we can purchase them. Neoheart (talk) 02:50, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- Honestly, even splitting the starter and store decks into different tabs (which was a solid idea) may not be enough. Both pages are just going to continue to grow, and it's already a bit unwieldy: that's spoken as someone who had visited the fandom version of this page quite a bit. Is there some other solution here? Having each year's decks in their own tab does make a bit of sense, but then there's already so many tabs on the Arena article already.
- Additionally, there's a not really a whole lot of consistency on this page with how each set of decks is formatted. Some all caps, some with the colour combination in the headings, and so on. I guess I'll add that to my to-do list too! :) Beatsandskies (talk) 09:33, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
- It is my intent to move the decklists from here into a new Starter Decks page, so that each year's decks can have their own tab. This should be a lot more user friendly I think. This tab can then be converted to an index pointing people towards those decks, as well as the decklists from various brawl or other preconstructed events on Arena.Beatsandskies (talk) 00:29, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
