Browser

 * Google Chrome gives the best results while browsing DMvault, due to its auto-translate function.

How to Build a Deck

 * 1.) Click "My Menu". You should arrive at a page that looks like this (well, minus the decks).
 * "Dragon" (ドラゴン) and "Angel" (エンジェル) lead to pre-constructed decks built around Dragons and Angel Commands (duh). They both break the Hall of Fame for some weird reason.
 * "To select a card" (カードを選択する) leads to a card search pop-up.
 * "New deck" (新規デッキ) takes you to an empty deck edit page.
 * "New folder" (新規フォルダ) creates a new folder for decks to be placed in.
 * Clicking on "Deck name" (デッキ名) sorts the decks by (Google translated) deck name. If the page is untranslated, it will sort it by some sort of Japanese alphabetical sorting system.
 * Decks with a circle in the "Temple" (殿堂) column are Hall of Fame-legal. Decks with a circle in the E1 (Ｅ１) column are legal in the E1 format (cards from DMX-01 King of Duel Road: Strong 7 and on, not sure if Episode 2 cards are included).
 * "Development situation" (開発状況) shows the deck's current status. I can only guess at what some of these mean. "In the brain" (脳内) decks are imperfect deck concepts that are still being worked on. "During the adjustment" (調整中) decks have deck concepts that have been figured out, but the deck itself is currently being adjusted. "Stable phase" (安定期) decks are perfected decks. "Discontinuation" (中止) decks are decks that aren't in use anymore...I think. Clicking on "Development situation" will sort the decks in order from "Stable phase", then "During the adjustment", then "In the brain", then "Discontinuation"
 * "Latest comment" (最新コメント) shows when the latest comment to a deck was. Clicking on it will sort the decks by latest comment to earliest comment, then decks with no comments.
 * "Last updated" (最終更新日) shows when the deck was last updated. Clicking on it will sort the decks by latest update to earliest update.
 * Clicking on "Duplicate edit" (複製編集) creates a copy of that deck and takes you to the copy's editing page.
 * 2.) Click on "New deck", which will take you to the deck edit page. This is the top half of the page, while this is the bottom half.
 * "back to the deck management" (デッキ管理に戻る) takes you back to the list of your decks.
 * "Save" (保　存) saves the deck. It only works when the page is untranslated, so if you're using Chrome, click "Show original" at the top of the page before clicking Save.
 * "To add a card" (カードを追加する) sends you to a card search page. It has many confusing search functions, so you're better off just searching by name. Keep in mind that English translated names will not work, only the original Japanese ones. (Duh.)
 * "Number of" (枚数), "Cost" (コスト), "Name" (名前), and "Type" (種類) show the number of a certain card in the deck, its cost, its name (Google Translated), and its type (creature, spell, cross gear, fortress, psychic creature). Clicking on those words (only works when there are cards in the deck) sorts the cards in the deck in that order. If the page is translated and you click "cost", it will sort the deck by the number word rather than the number itself ("Eight, Five, Four, Nine, One, Seven, Six, Ten, Three, Two" rather than "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10"). Hovering over a card's name gives you its stats and effects (in a yellow box, like the kind Deadpool likes).
 * "Comment" (コメント) lets you type a short comment about a card in your deck.
 * On the right side of the page is a table showing the cost and civilization distibution of your deck. It counts how many cards are there of each civ, each cost, and each civ and cost combination.
 * "Statistical effect of race and" gives several statistics about your deck, like how many creatures of each race are there, the number of STs in your deck, and the average amount of cards you get from Prince Avaraldo, Cavalier of Thunder.
 * "Intimidating probability" (引ける確率(表１)) takes you to a probability table that tells you how likely you will draw cards of a certain cost. I think. It's kind of hard to understand.
 * "accident prevention Mana" tells you how likely you will draw cards of a certain civ. I think. This one is also hard to understand.
 * You can name your deck in the "(can also be used to publish) Deck name" (デッキ名（公開にも使われます）) box. In the box is the placeholder name 名無し (meaning "anonymous", apparently).
 * "Development status" (開発状況) lets you change the development situation of your deck. All the development situations are enumerated above.
 * "Note" (メモ) lets you write a short note for your deck. You can either type a new one in the first box or choose a note you've used before in the second box, which will be transferred to the first box.
 * "Setting: Public" (公開設定) lets you change your deck from private to public, or vice-verse. All decks start out as private. You can only make a deck public if it follows certain requirements.
 * "classification Deck" (デッキ分類) lets you choose a classification from your deck. The classifications are described here, but I'll describe them for you. Choosing one of these is required if you want to make a deck public.
 * "Diagnosis hope" (診断希望) decks are decks which the deckbuilder wants advice on.
 * "Fan deck" (ファンデッキ) decks are for fun.
 * "Gachidekki" (ガチデッキ) are competitive decks. There are three categories of Gachidekki: "in the brain", "during adjustment", and "Proudly", which correspond to the development situations above.
