{{flavour|A deck of powerful magical cards painted in the ichor of demons. They may have any number of helpful or dangerous effects when drawn.}}
 +
== Overview ==
 +
Decks are magical devices granted by [[Nemelex Xobeh]] which are used by e'''V'''oking them, similar to [[wand]]s. This draws a random [[Cards|card]] from the deck to produce a certain effect.  Each deck comes with 4-13 cards. Their power is governed by [[invocations]] skill and piety, not [[evocations]].

===Power level===

Decks can be either plain, ornate or legendary. Ornate and legendary decks get bonuses to card power.

Decks are made up of subunits that are also called decks, which are made up of a range of possible effects that are called [[Cards|cards]].

===Archetype decks===

Archetype decks are the arrangements of the various [[cards]] from which the "physical" decks (those that a character can possess and evoke) are built. They have been called "virtual" decks, but that is something of a misnomer since the physical decks, being themselves made up of the archetypes, would more appropriately be termed virtual. These core decks are called archetypes in the code, so that nomenclature resolves the conundrum nicely. Some of these archetype decks, by virtue of their being the only component archetype of a physical deck, can be found in the dungeons, and are sometimes called "pure" decks.  The others are sometimes called "mixed decks." Not all single-source decks can be found by players. The decks of [[Deck of oddities|oddities]] and [[Deck of punishment|punishment]] are never found as items.

Below are two tables that explicate the matter more broadly. The physical decks are composed of a changing list of archetype decks. These deck compositions are the subject of the first table. The archetype decks are themselves composed of changing lists of cards. These card compositions of the archetype decks are the subject of the second table. Together, they describe exactly how all cards and decks are related.  A separate [[Cards#Card_availability|card availability]] table under the cards topic also illustrates the relationships from the opposite direction.
+
===Composition of decks===
 +
Decks of destruction, summoning and escape are composed of 6 different types of card which are randomly placed throughout the deck. The player will only draw from the deck of punishment if they try to deal four on a deck with less than four cards remaining, or when suffering from Nemelex's wrath.
  
Prior to [[0.15]], there was relative stability in these structures, but the changes beginning with [[0.15]] have literally shuffled the decks to a large extent.

[[Scroll of identify]] reveals both the deck type and the current top card. If you have excess Identify scrolls, you can use the spares on useful Legendary decks as needed to keep the top card identified. Dangerous cards can then be peeled off in safe circumstances with defensive gear/allies/stairs/etc.

*Prior to [[0.19]], decks could be found as loot on the floor. Also, [[scroll of identify|scrolls of identify]] could be used to reveal both the deck type and the current top card. There were also many more decks and many more cards that existed. The full list of removed cards can be found on the [[Cards]] page.
 
+
*Prior to [[0.16]], players had to '''w'''ield the deck that they wished to draw from.
If you want to ID an unknown deck by drawing from it, take the following precautions.  (You will probably need at least two draws to identify a deck.)
 
* Be at full health (Torment)
 
* Stand on solid ground (Water), and not at a chokepoint for the level (Tomb).
 
* If you'd have trouble getting out of a Tomb, stand next to something mobile (monster or ally) or destructible (plant, fungus, bush). A closed door will do as well.
 
* Have at least one monster around, preferably a couple. (Damnation).
 
* Make sure you have room to send a Fireball or Orb(s) off to a safe distance.
 
* If you have access to Abjuration, keep that handy in case of hostile summons.
 
* You may want to equip resistances, Sustain Abilities, Clarity, and have remedies for poison and mutation. (Venom, Helix, Potion, Wild Magic).

Version 0.21: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
A deck of powerful magical cards painted in the ichor of demons. They may have any number of helpful or dangerous effects when drawn.

Overview

Decks are magical devices granted by Nemelex Xobeh which are used by eVoking them, similar to wands. This draws a random card from the deck to produce a certain effect. Each deck comes with 4-13 cards. Their power is governed by invocations skill and piety, not evocations.

Power level

Decks can be either plain, ornate or legendary. Ornate and legendary decks get bonuses to card power.

Composition of decks

Decks of destruction, summoning and escape are composed of 6 different types of card which are randomly placed throughout the deck. The player will only draw from the deck of punishment if they try to deal four on a deck with less than four cards remaining, or when suffering from Nemelex's wrath.
