Will there be any plans to share decks among friends but not posted publicly?

I'm a constant tuner when it comes to deck building, I enjoy constantly building new ideas, and working on new ways to design a deck. My friends are very similar in nature, and we each excel in certain colours - myself towards black and green, another friend towards red and blue, and another still in black and white.
However, there are times that we would like to share deck ideas with each other, bounce some ideas around, but not have it wide open for others to see. I know it kinda goes against the idea of what TappedOut provides - but sometimes, it's nice to be able to discuss something among a group of friends, and see what works for your meta - without having to explain to someone else that, no, that card is bad for our meta and won't do enough for us. For example, Nature's Claim is a great card as a general rule, but when you know your meta is heavy into doing Sneak Attack into a Blightsteel Colossus on the same turn, blowing up the Sneak Attack doesn't do much good for you when that hasty Blightsteel is going to kill you. In my meta, Deglamer and Unravel the Aether are much better cards - because they deal with Blightsteel's lethal swing, and then it makes the Sneak Attack the next target - how about for a Krosan Grip? However, a lot of people will look at a deck running Unravel or Deglamer, and suggest things that don't work for us - which you then have to kindly explain that the reason that you won't run that snazzy new removal spell is because it doesn't work with the threats your meta has, or run that new Hinder effect is because of the same reason you run all those wheels in Azami - because you'd rather have it exiled for good ala Dissipate.
Just a thought, that's all.
Private only allows you alone to see it to my knowledge, I thought no one else could see it.

Lets try it, can you view the deck?

I thought it worked once upon a time...
Anyways, worth the try and I got to see that when you delete a deck, you get the message "Target player exiles deck".

Saving it as privet first and then switching it to public should keep it off the front page and hubs. Then you just have to deal with people randomly stumbling across it. You can also mark your decks as casual. People usually don't comment on casual decks unless the deckbuilder specifically asks for help on something.

as long as you're friends with the people you want to share it with, you can set your deck to private and a few spaces down, there's a "share with" box (or something to that effect) that you can put your friends' names.

tempest has it.
Save the deck as private, have them as friends on T/O,
When editing your deck go to the "share deck with" box and enter their name(s),
As long as they are logged in to T/O they will be able to access your deck.

You could also just have it public but not have it show up on your profile? (if your friends are not T/O members

Well, there is a way to do it now. Save your deck as private and send the link for the deck to anyone you want to see it.
