How to Export a Moxfield or Archidekt Decklist for Proxy Printing

To print a deck from Moxfield or Archidekt, export its card list as text, paste it into PrintMTG’s order builder, and review the matched cards. A simple list with one quantity and card name per line is an easy starting point. You can also include set codes and collector numbers when you want particular printings.

The important part is deciding what belongs in the order. A finished Commander deck, a maybeboard full of ideas, and ten upgrades you want to test are three different print lists.

First, choose which cards you actually want printed

Before exporting, decide whether you want the entire deck or only the cards you are missing. You can leave your full deck saved in the deckbuilder while preparing a smaller list for printing.

Check these parts of the list:

• Commander: Include it if you want a printed copy. Check that it has not appeared twice under different sections.

• Basic lands: Keep their quantities if you want matching basics, or remove them if you already have the lands you need.

• Sideboard and maybeboard: Include only the alternatives you intend to order.

• Tokens and extras: Check them separately rather than assuming a deck export includes everything your cards can create.

For a complete Commander deck with one commander, the playing deck totals 100 cards including that commander. Additional tokens and test cards can make the print order larger without changing the deck itself.

Export the order you want: If you are testing ten upgrades, prepare those ten cards as a separate list. There is no need to reprint the other ninety cards just to try a new ramp package.

How to export a decklist from Moxfield

Open the deck you want to print on Moxfield, then open its More menu and choose Export.

1. Choose the plain-text copy option for a straightforward list of quantities and names.

2. Copy the exported text.

3. Paste it into a plain-text editor so you can review the whole list before importing.

4. Remove any sections or individual cards you do not want printed.

5. Confirm that your commander and repeated basics have the quantities you intended.

If you want to carry over specific editions, use a supported Moxfield or Arena-style export with set codes and collector numbers instead. PrintMTG supports those fields, but you should still inspect the resulting selections.

Copy the export itself rather than the visible card columns or a screenshot of the deck. The exported list gives you complete card names and quantities in a form you can edit and check.

How to export a decklist from Archidekt

Open your deck on Archidekt and select Export deck from the deck tools. Choose the Text file type.

Archidekt offers more information than a basic printing list needs. Its text export can include categories, foil markers, and color-tag data. For a simple import, adjust the export options so the result contains quantities and card names, then choose No section header.

1. Select the cards or categories you want included.

2. Keep quantities and names in the output.

3. Turn off category, foil, and color-tag metadata for this simple format.

4. Keep set codes and collector numbers only if you want to request particular printings.

5. Choose Copy, then inspect the text in your editor.

Category labels are useful while building a deck, but they do not need to accompany every card into a print order. A list of card names and quantities is easier to review than a list carrying all your deckbuilding notes.

What should the exported list look like?

A short excerpt might look like this:

1 Sol Ring
1 Arcane Signet
1 Command Tower
10 Forest

The number is how many copies you want. The rest of the line identifies the card. Ten Forests belong on one line with a quantity of ten; you do not need ten separate entries.

PrintMTG also accepts an optional set code and collector number. For example:

1 Mox Diamond (TPR) 228

Use this extra information when the edition matters. If you mainly care about getting the right cards into the builder, start with names and quantities and choose your preferred versions afterward.

Import the list into PrintMTG

Open the PrintMTG order builder and select Card list. Paste your exported text into the list field, then choose Add Cards.

Review the cards the builder adds. Check names and quantities first, then open cards whose artwork or edition you want to change. You can use Card search to locate individual cards when you are filling gaps or comparing available versions.

If the importer reports a decode error, review the listed lines. Look for spelling mistakes, extra annotations, or a version that is not available. Search for the card by name to resolve it individually.

Before pasting the whole list again, check what is already in the builder. Reviewing existing quantities first helps you avoid ordering extra copies during a retry.

Check the printing, too: A name-only export identifies the card without specifying its artwork. If you want a particular frame, illustration, or set version, select it in the builder and inspect it before checkout.

Common decklist import problems

Keep the original export until you finish reviewing. Having a clean source list beside the builder makes it much easier to spot a missing card or accidental duplicate.

Review the finished order against your source list

Compare total quantities, not just the number of different card names. A list with twelve Forests has twelve physical cards in that slot, even though it uses one line.

Confirm that the commander is present, the basic-land quantities are intentional, test alternatives are separate from your finished deck, and important printings look right. Then review the cart and checkout details.
