MSA Deck-List Formatter

This tool converts standard deck lists into an expanded format where each card is listed individually, rather than stacks (example: "4x ST01-001" becomes four lines of "1x ST01-001"). This format has been reported by players to improve shuffle randomization in MSA.

Why does this exist?

Mobile Suit Arena is a great tool for testing and practicing Gundam TCG decks, but its built-in shuffling is reported to have issues with randomization, and some users have found that manually expanding deck-lists to be a workaround to achieve better randomization. This tool automates that process and also provides an optional pre-shuffle using a Fisher–Yates algorithm for additional randomization.

Input

Works with Exburst & Egman formats. Make sure to exclude sideboards. This formatter removes Alt-Arts (ex: -ALT1) from card numbers.

OutputPre-Shuffle Output

This will always output decklists in the Exburst Format as MSA has a limit on its decklist input.
