Deck files (.o8d) are simple XML files used by OCTGN to store deck data. Usually, OCTGN will auto-generate these files through the Deck Editor, but they can also be created manually or generated through external sources (such as websites)

Each different card in a Deck file is given its own tag. A qty is required, and id refers to the card's GUID. A typical card in a deck file looks like:

<card qty="1" id="8ad098c1-ffbf-4d12-a141-7f3b6272c4dc">Ace of Spades</card>

You do not require the id value as long as a Card Name is specified. If id is ignored, OCTGN will query the card database for a card that matches the card's name instead. Likewise, the card name can be ignored if the id is provided.

An example of a Deck file:
