Publish a new deck version
Publish a stable decklist version for history and match tracking without changing who can see the deck.

What publishing a version means
Publishing records the current decklist as an immutable version from Brewing. It does not make the deck public.
Deck visibility still controls who can see the deck: Private, Shared, or Public. A published version identifies the exact list that history can reference; visibility decides who may view it.
Why published versions matter
Decks change over time. A published version keeps an earlier decklist available after you tune the current deck, swap cards, or change the commander.
Match records use published deck versions so a match points to the list that was actually played instead of drifting with the working copy.
Maybeboard and Tokens remain current, private extra lists and are not copied into a version. Printing-only, style-only, and extra-list-only edits do not create a duplicate version.
Publish the current deck
Publish a version after the decklist is accurate enough to serve as a record. You can keep editing the Current deck afterward and publish another version after the next decklist change.
- Open the deck from Brewing.
- Review the current cards, zones, commander, companion, and format.
- Fix import errors or missing cards before publishing the version.
- Select Publish.
- Use the published version for match tracking.
Result
Deckonomicon stores the decklist, styles, printing assignments, and colors as an immutable version. The deck does not become public unless its visibility is set to Public.
If the decklist is unchanged from the latest version, Deckonomicon reports that there are no changes and does not create a duplicate.
