decks with locked cards ?

[Fizanko]

Hello,

While i like playing random decks in duels, i noticed that sometime, rarely fortunately, on the deck i'm ending with, i have a card that is one of the locked ones from the challenge.

That's very annoying as i can't play such thing , not having unlocked anything (i have not yet tried the challenge mode), so i'm asking : is there a way to know which are the decks that are featuring those locked cards so i can delete them from the playdeck folder ?

All the infos you need are in the wiki:

Well, that does not tell me anything about how to get rid of the decks featuring locked cards, that wiki page seems to only describe the challenge mode ?

There is no easy way within manalink to tell which decks have certain cards in them.

When I need to search for decks that contain cards for whatever reason, I use a program called Windows Grep that is capable of searching for strings within files in a given directory. Basically I just point it at the play deck folder, tell it to search *.dck files and then give it the name of the card I am looking for. It will output a list of files within that directory that contain that string.

Its a pretty straight forward free program and if you play around with your search criteria you can get a lot done with it.

Thank you.
I hoped there was some filter somewhere that i didn't noticed yet, but your method is going to be very helpful to avoid those locked card annoyance in random deck duels.

You could also use the Manalink Playdeck Analyzer, which will replace automatically the card from a list along with update your deck pool to any ML3 version.
