+''Creation of decks of cards by players for their own use before gameplay starts.''
-This pattern is a still a stub.
+Some games have players have their own decks of cards that they make use of during gameplay. Games with [[Pre-Customized Decks]] let players construct these decks before gameplay, either on their own or as a pre-phase to actual gameplay.
 Note: ''See ''[[Deck Building]]'' of the creation of decks during gameplay.''

+[[Pre-Customized Decks]] is used to allow players to select which [[Cards]] should be in their [[Decks]] before gameplay begins. It is often enabled through [[Heterogeneous Game Element Ownership]] so players can select which [[Cards]] they want from their own collection without competition from other players but [[Drafting]] (potentially using [[Drafting Spreads]]) provides an alternative. Quite naturally, if there is [[Strategic Knowledge]] possible regarding the [[Cards]] - typically how they can create [[Combos]] and [[Gameplay Engines]] - this will heavily modify how well players can create [[Pre-Customized Decks]].
-=== Diegetic Aspects ===
+[[Pre-Customized Decks]] allow players [[Construction]] of [[Abstract Player Constructs]] in the form of [[Decks]] as [[Extra-Game Actions]] before gameplay begins. This is often used to try and create [[Gameplay Engines]] or succeed in achieving [[Gain Competence]] goals during gameplay. It can also lead to [[Pottering]] since different [[Pre-Customized Decks]] can be created simply for their own sake.
-=== Interface Aspects ===
+Being able to build efficient [[Decks]] in this way is a way of showing [[Gameplay Mastery]], and invites [[Stimulated Planning]]. It typically results in [[Complex Gameplay]] and [[Freedom of Choice]] due to the many different combinations possible as well as [[Player Unpredictability]]. The pattern is very likely to create [[Asymmetric Starting Conditions]] given the many different [[Decks]] typically possible.
