Trouble changing Prototype decks
TappedOut forum
Posted on June 18, 2017, 1:14 a.m. by Argy
With some decks I have like this Triple A [Modern Version] I uncheck the Prototype button, hit Save, then when I go back in to the editing screen the Prototype button is still checked.
How do I stop this deck being a Prototype?
I made it at a prerelease.
Of course it is no longer prerelease legal.
I tried Unformat and Unknown, but they both require 60 cards.
If Unformat could be changed to allow any number of cards, or 40+ cards, that would fix the issue.

Argy,
Unformat is for the silver-bordered sets (Unglued, Unhinged, and soon Unstable)
Have you tried Limited, maybe?
I normally use Casual if nothing else seems to work, If that doesn't work either, I'm afraid I'm out of ideas.

Limited worked.
I am going to point out, however, that you can't call a deck less than 60 cards "Unknown".
Is that also related to an Un set?
If not, why can't that one be any 40+ card deck?
Or why can't an option like "None" exist?

Actually, you know what would be REALLY great?
Having a "Shelf" category.
That way you could work on an old Standard deck and save it to that category, rather than have to reclassify it as Modern.

Here's another one for ya, clayperce.
As far as I can tell all these cards are Frontier legal, yet it won't recognise this deck as Frontier.

That's an issue with the new cards from Amonkhet not being marked as legal for the Frontier format. Ah, I'm assuming a moderator can fix that at some point?

Except ... I don't have any AKH cards in the deck.
I DID but I took them out.
Deck won't show as Frontier legal even without any AKH cards.

Double-check that the prototype box didn't recheck itself?
June 18, 2017 1:40 p.m.
Now I have checked each of my decks by hand, which took forever.
Only one of them is now a Prototype deck when you look in the editing screen, yet my profile says I have 11 Prototype decks.
Anyone know what THAT'S about?

I think I've figured it out.
It's including all my Archived decks.

Isn't troubleshooting exciting?
I felt like I just watched an Indiana Jones movie in 30 seconds.

TMBRLZ you know what's exciting?
I have pruned my decks by getting rid of older ones that were rubbish, so that my average deck score is 29.32.
PLUS I now have only 3 Prototype decks, soon to be only one, and 70 completed decks.

TMBRLZ when I first started playing Magic I went crazy building lots of different archetypes.
The list of completed decks also does include prerelease decks I have built.
Keeping track of them has helped me to improve.

That's a solid point and self-teaching strategy.
I firmly believe that limited is where the true extent of somebody's skill in MTG shines. My former roommate was a God in limited and could make the most unremarkable decks shine. He was a brilliant player, just couldn't afford the good stuff. Not that he needed it.
That is all to say - you're a smart individual, you have my respect. :D

..because Swords to Plowshares isn't Modern legal. It even shows you in the menu below to the right.
