Camera Mirroring

If you want to use the camera mirroring feature (Turned on/off in the Options screen), you'll need to install OBS version 28 or higher. Currently we use its Virtual Camera to render the mirrored view that doesn't display hidden zone cards.

Keybinds

Function	Inputs
Select/drag cards	Left Mouse Button (LMB)
Open context menus	Right Mouse Button (RMB)
(on background or on a card)

To perform an action on many cards (if supported, such as tapping or sending to another zone), you can explicitly select cards with rubber-band selection over them (pressing LMB on the background and dragging a selection rectangle). You can also add cards to the selection by holding Ctrl when you LMB click on a card or while doing a rubber-band selection.

But because Pisces makes it easy to do these actions on a single card that you've simply hovered the cursor over, when it says "...cards" below with an action, it means that it will apply to the cards that are explicitly selected and the card that is hovered (or right-click context menu was opened on) if both situations are going on.

Note: It is possible to select cards on the battlefield and then hover and start dragging a card in your Hand and they all start dragging, so watch out for things like that.

Another thing is some of these have N in the action. What that means is you can type a number before hitting the keybind to give the action a parameter. They'll default to doing the action once if you don't, but typing 1, 3, D will cause you to draw 13 cards (if there are at least 13 left in the Deck). Currently the entered number will be clamped to no more than 100 before being used.

Manipulating cards

Zone Functions

Action	Inputs
Open Deck	F2
Open Graveyard	F3
Open Exile	F4
Open Command Zone	F5
Shuffle Deck	S
Scry N cards	R
Draw N cards	D
Mill N cards	M

Scry is an additional view that begins when you hit R to add 1 or more cards to it. If you just hit R it will add one card from the top of the Deck, but you can repeat R to add more cards from the top of the deck, or enter a number before hitting R to put that many cards in the Scry view.

It exits then you hit Esc or no cards are left in it. By default, any cards remaining in Scry when you use Esc are put on the bottom of the Deck in a random order. Some of the blow modify Esc to send them somewhere else.

Scry Keybinds

Action	Inputs
Put remaining into Graveyard	Shift+Esc
Put remaining into Exile	Tab+Esc
Toggle Reveal mode	Ctrl
(Opponents see them via Camera Mirror)

Other

Action	Inputs
Untap all	N
Open Options	O
Save state	F7
Load state	F8
Coalesce selected cards being dragged	Q

The Coalesce action deserves its own explanation. It will only happen while you are dragging cards that are all explicitly selected – not dragging one that you only hovered – and hit Q. It will form those cards into a neat diagonal arrangement by default.

Each time you hit Q while still in dragging mode, the frontmost card of the group will be sent to the back, allowing you to cycle through them. To help you better control this, be aware that the card your cursor is over when you begin the dragging is the first one to the back when you first hit Q.

As rudimentary ways to do vertical and horizontal arrangements, you can do Shift+Q to make it cycle front to back and arrange them vertically, or the same but horizontally with Ctrl+Q.
