Dragging cards from Deck to Cards Grid:
You can select cards from the Deck in the same manner as you select cards in the Cards Grid. Multiple selections are allowed.
Drag and drop cards from the Deck to the Cards Grid will cause the deck quantity of the selected cards to decrease.
If the deck quantity reaches 0 the card is automatically removed from the deck.
