Wrong date in your post as well. I won that tournament 25 August 2013, last modifications to the deck the same morning.

The problem with duplicate entries is (at least partially) due to the fact that an official TWD entry doesn't appear as that person's deck. As in, when I click on "My Decks" the one winning deck I have (woot!) doesn't show up. So I ended up putting a second listing of it up so that I could have it in my list as a reference. Of course, if somebody searches for decks that have me as the "author" then both copies will appear. Now that I'm reading this, I'm not at all sure it's clear, but hopefully somebody can understand what I'm trying to say .

Not sure if there is a good fix or not, jut attempting to explain the duplicates.

I completely understand your issue. But that's not the only reason for those duplicates. Sometimes the same or two different persons (tournament organizer and the winner for example) enter the deck without checking first if it already exists.

The only workaround is to enter your name in the author field of the search form and then search for those decks, instead of clicking "My decks".

In my opinion the more elegant solution would be to (as you suggested), to show both the decks someone owns plus the decks where one is named as an author. But this would require a modification to the SL.
