---------------------------------------------

Please let me know what I forgot (I'm sure there's some...).

I just cross-referenced the items in this list with every deck currently in the decks forum.  When you post a new deck in the future, please send me a PM and tell me so that I can cross-reference it too.

I just started adding the Challenge Decks, including the new ones I've created.  Expect to see the old challenge decks show up in the decks forum too, just for completeness-sake.

Note: All Challenge Decks are now here.
