Read the result in context

Costs are entered labels, not a simulation of resource systems. Expected copies assume a uniformly shuffled deck without replacement; no mulligans.

How to use Card Deck Cost Curve Analyzer

Explore the worked example. Use grouped card counts, costs and types to inspect a deck’s curve and expected opening-hand composition.
Replace the card groups with your own entries. Set opening hand size, low-cost threshold.
Choose “Analyze the deck curve”. Review cost curve and type balance, then compare the visual overview with the detailed tables.
Capture alternative scenarios, download a reusable project and export the selected table or a report when you are ready.

A starting point

Use grouped card counts, costs and types to inspect a deck’s curve and expected opening-hand composition. The example is illustrative and can be replaced.

Know what you are comparing

Is the opening-hand breakdown a playable-hand probability?

No. It reports expected counts from the entered deck composition. Resource systems, mulligans, card interactions and playability rules are not modeled.

Files, privacy & saving

Calculations run locally in a browser worker. Input CSV files use the column names in the downloadable template and keep your current settings. Projects restore inputs and up to four scenarios. Imports are limited to 1 MiB and 100 entries. There is no automatic saving. Public pages include advertising and optional analytics; see our privacy policy.

CSV exports contain the entire selected table. JSON and printable HTML reports include all result tables; open the report and use your browser’s Print command for PDF.

Questions & answers

Is the opening-hand breakdown a playable-hand probability?

No. It reports expected counts from the entered deck composition. Resource systems, mulligans, card interactions and playability rules are not modeled.

Can I compare and save alternative plans?

Yes. Capture up to four calculated scenarios, restore their inputs and save them in a project JSON file. There is no automatic saving.

How do I bring in my own entries?

Download the CSV template, retain its column names and replace the example rows. Imports are limited to 100 entries and 1 MiB. A saved project also restores settings.

What should I check before using the result?

Costs are entered labels, not a simulation of resource systems. Expected copies assume a uniformly shuffled deck without replacement; no mulligans.
