When in the deck builder I can also create those categories. When I add a card to that category in the deck, it doesn't universally add the card to that category, as when I go to another deck and add the same card, that category does not follow.\n\nIs the only way for a card to maintain that category across decks to add it to a category in the 'personal categories' tab?\nAlso, does that also mean any cards that are assigned categories in the deck builder only have those categories for that one deck?\n\n\n"}]}

GucciGonk 33 days{"ops":[{"insert":"Another issue I've found, is when I add categories to a card using 'My personal categories', if the card is already in a deck, it does not add those categories to the card unless I remove it from the deck and re-add it. Is this intentional? Maybe I'm missing the point here but that seems like an oversight. If I'm choosing to assign a universal category to a card that will appear in all decks the card is in, I would want the card to be updated in all decks it's currently in.\n\nFor example\n\nI have Night's Whisper currently in a deck. I go to 'My personal categories' and add Night's Whisper to the category 'Life Loss'. When I go back to the deck page and refresh it, Night's Whisper has not gained the 'Life Loss' category.\n"}]}
