KCM Deck Builder

Build your own starter deck for Kaycee's Mod from inside the game.

A BUILD CUSTOM DECK button appears on the Select Starter Deck screen. It opens a deck builder styled like the Kaycee's Mod menus, with the real Act 1 card art. Pick your cards, press START WITH THIS DECK, and choose your challenges as usual.

The custom deck is a separate option. The game's own starter decks still work exactly as before.

Features

• In-game deck builder with Act 1 card faces: costs, sigils, stats, rare and gold cards.
• Filters: ALL, PELTS, BOSS, OTHER, BLOOD, BONES, FREE, RARE, plus search.
• Random deck. Press RANDOM for 3 random regular cards (one of them always costs 1 blood) plus 2 Rabbit Pelts. Press again to reroll.
• Saved decks. Name and save your decks, then load them again from the DECKS list.
• Pelts. Start with Rabbit, Wolf or Golden Pelts and trade them at the first-node Trader.
• Boss cards you can't normally get: Bait Bucket, Gold Nugget, Leaping Trap, Pack Mule, Skeleton Crew, Zombie Parrot and Strange Frog.
• Other cards you can't normally draft: Boulder, Stump, Dam, Frozen Opossum, The Smoke and more.
• Your picks only. No catch-up cards are added with the custom deck (no extra pelts, Opossum or Ring Worm after early losses).
• First-node Trader. If your custom deck has pelts, the Trader on the first node is always there.
• No pointless lecture. Leshy skips the "were you expecting more pelts?" punishment lines, since the custom deck gets no catch-up cards anyway.
• Feels like the game. The game's own cursor with its trail, the pointer hand, menu click sounds and blinking highlights.
• Unlocks respected. Only cards you have unlocked are offered (configurable).
• Same deck on retry. Restarting after a loss keeps your custom deck.
• Modded cards. Nature cards from other mods show up automatically.

Rules (config)

BepInEx/config/emre.inscryption.kcmdeckbuilder.cfg

Setting	Default
MaxCards	5	Cards you can pick (0 = no limit)
MaxCopiesPerCard	0	Copies of one card (0 = no limit)
OnlyUnlockedCards	true	Only offer cards you have unlocked
AllowBossAndSpecialCards	true	Show the BOSS and OTHER cards

The deck is saved in the same file (Cards = ...). A list of valid card IDs is written to BepInEx/config/KCMDeckBuilder_cards.txt. Saved decks live in BepInEx/config/KCMDeckBuilder_decks.txt.

Compatibility

• Tested on the Epic version. The Steam version uses the same game code.
• Designed to work alongside the Inscryption API (the custom deck is not added to the starter deck list, so the API can't drop it).
• Your save file never stores the custom deck, so removing the mod is safe; the game falls back to the Vanilla deck.

Installation

Use r2modman / Thunderstore Mod Manager, or install BepInEx and copy KCMDeckBuilder.dll into BepInEx/plugins.
