Hello all was just wondering if there's somewhere online that I can download decks from. I'm looking basically for any constructed set decks. Any help would be useful! thanks!

There is a folder in the client with example decks:
...\Mage-Client\release\sample-decks\
True, no good source for current standard decks.
Or you can import any deck (e.g. from Wizards site) of .txt or .dec format using the Import of the deck editor.

I get many of my decks from starcitygames.com or tcgplayer.com. On starcity, in the right-hand column, there is a section of decklists (standard, modern, and legacy). If you click on a deck, there is a gold O (like the Magic Online logo). If you click it, you can download the decklist as a txt file.
On tcgplayer, click into the decks/articles section. If you click a decklist, at the bottom right under "Spells by Color", is says Download/Share. Click MTGO/Apprentice to save the deck as a txt file. If you see a decklist in an article on tcgplayer, at the bottom of the decklist, click "Click for full deck stats and notes." That will take you to the page where you can download it with the MTGO/Apprentice link.
Wizards also has decklists on the (mtgo page)[http://magic.wizards.com/en/gameinfo/products/magiconline/decklists]. Click the little down arrow with a line under it that is to the right of the player's name.
mtggoldfish.com has decklists as well. Click decks, then metagame. On the left, click Download. Before importing on xmage, open the text file and type Sideboard: between the main deck and sideboard. Otherwise you wind up with 75 cards in the main.
mtgtop8.com has top 8 decklists from mtgo dailies and major events. The only download link they have is for magic workstation, and that doesn't work for xmage. However you can pretty easily highlight the cards from the deck, right-click to copy, and then make a new text file and paste the deck information there. Just take out the labels like LANDS, CREATURES, etc.

.mwDeck should work with xMage. Just import them normally in the deck editor.

That does work. Thanks.
I notice that some of their set codes don't get interpreted during the import, causing multiple versions of the same card to be imported. For example, after importing Jim Davis's Sultai Delver decklist from SCG Indy, their file has 4 [TE]
Wasteland, and the deck import put in 2 Tempest Wastelands and 2 Judge Promo Wastelands. Is there a way where if the set code isn't recognized that the same version of the card is used for all copies being imported?

Sure, by changing the import class.
The one used shall be selected by random, or use always the newest available set?

I think it generally uses the newest available set when importing, right?

While we are on the subject, it would be great if the importer would not use the Vintage Masters images or the promo ones by default. Most of those images are extremely weird (VMA have the MTGO text/highlight and promos often have weird foiling). I get annoyed to always swap out
Force of Will when I import a blue legacy deck.
I guess the best criteria would be to use the most recent non-reprint version (if it exists).
