What is a DEK file?
A DEK file is a card deck file used by Magic: The Gathering Online (MTGO), an online collectible card game. DEK files contain a list of cards that usually comprise a playable Magic: The Gathering deck. In some cases, DEK files list a non-playable collection of cards, such as a subset of a player’s collection, rather than a playable deck.
