Public surfaces

What this page covers

Most of DeckScope is behind the auth gate. Five routes are not. This page is the authoritative list of what a signed-out visitor — or a link you paste into a Discord channel — can actually open.

The five public routes

Route	What opens	Cloud-only
/explore/cards/<passcode>	Card detail	no
/combos/<comboId>	Combo detail	no
/community	The Community shell, Public decks tab only	yes
/u/<username>	A duelist’s public profile	yes
/deck/<deckId>	A shared deck	yes

“Cloud-only” routes are backed by account services (profiles, follows, public decks) and are not mounted in local mode.

Note

These five are declared in exactly one place and mounted by both the signed-in and signed-out route trees. That is deliberate: two copies would let a signed-out visitor land on a different component than a signed-in one — quietly, because neither copy would be wrong on its own. If a route is on this list, both audiences get the same page.

One redirect

/combos/search is a real URL, but it collides with the /combos/<comboId> pattern — a naive matcher would render combo detail with the id search and a “could not load” page. It is declared as a public redirect to /combos?tab=explore instead. It redirects; it never fetches.

What each surface shows

Card detail — /explore/cards/<passcode>

The catalogue entry for a single card, addressed by passcode. Reachable from Card Catalog and from card links throughout the app.

Combo detail — /combos/<comboId>

A single combo line. Combo names shown here are always DeckScope’s generated names — see Combos.

Community — /community

Signed out, the Community shell renders only the Public decks tab. Following, Combos and Profiles require an account. See Community.

Public profile — /u/<username>

A duelist’s public page. What appears is controlled by that account’s own privacy settings — see Public profile and Account settings.

Shared deck — /deck/<deckId>

A deck its owner has shared. This is the link to paste when you want someone to see a list without giving them access to your account.

Privacy posture

Nothing on this list exposes inventory, purchase plans, or account data. Public profiles and shared decks are opt-in per account and per deck; the other three routes are catalogue and community data that was never private.
