I am trying to make custom filtered decks but suddenly it wont work anymore I am sure that the cards are unsuspended but still wont work although i have been making similar decks all morning and it was working perfectly fine any help is appreciated

I assume by “won’t work” you mean that the deck has 0 cards when you build it.

If you click the blue “Search” next to your search filter, you can see the results in the Browse window. Does that search return any cards that are not suspended, AND not buried, AND not already in another Filtered deck?

No cards matched the provided search. Some cards may have been excluded because they are in a different filtered deck, or suspended.

Its showing this message when i try to create it i forget to mention

when i searched like you said it showed me the deck normally all the cards are there

Yes, they will show up in the Browse window regardless – the question is: are they available to be added to a filtered deck? After you copy your search to the Browse window, add this to the end of it and re-run the search:

-is:suspended -is:buried -deck:filtered

I did as you said it is showing 0 cards now what does that mean?

It means that none of the cards you want to put in this Filtered deck are available. If you take each of those categories off your search one-by-one, you should be able to find them.

Since you said that you “have been making similar decks all morning” – it seems possible that you have already pulled these cards into a different Filtered deck. You’ll have to “Empty” those decks to make them available for this deck.

If you go back and look at the cards you’re looking for (the first search you ran), they will tell you in the “Due” column if they are currently in a Filtered deck – since that also means they aren’t available to be studied in their main deck when they are due.
