{"ops":[{"insert":"Currently when drag n dropping a card into the deck, you can pick among \"automatic\" \"maybeboard\" and \"sideboard\".\n\nI propose adding Categories as an additional option.\n\nThe card would have said category applied as primary.\n\nMaybe only those already present in the deck, or only those configured by the user.. To avoid clogging up the scren. But this are details.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I think there's too many options to do this realistically in a quick external tool like that external overlay. Users can have dozens of categories per deck, and attempting to display that many for a quick tool sounds clunky. I think for me, it's really a matter of speed. For an external tool like that, ideally you want it to be as quick as possible. And if there's 15-25 options, I'm not sure that that jives with the premis.\n\nIf you want to drag into categories, use the internal drag and drop, or other more granular tools.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Trouble is the card gets lost in the deck, so you need to look for it. And if you filter for it the categories are not there anymore (ofc then you just edit them in the card).\n\nThis slows things down a lot, because you are constantly pausing to do this bit of menial work.\n\nTo give you an idea of where I am coming from, I often browse scryfall and the web for cards, and save them in trees of tabs.\nThen I run a review on the picks and drag each into archidek for the fine tuning.\n\nPerhaps an option is a spot that removes the overlay so I can drop them into the categories, as they are in the deck.\nI think this is going to be harder on the technical side tho, depending on how things are below.\n\nOr also an \"and then edit\" spot, so it immediately opens the editing form for you to do your things\n"}]}
