The recommended way to go about this, certainly for 2.0, is to have all your cards in 1 deck, and then use 'activate categories' to select which ones you want to see.
In 2.0, this is facilitated by the fact that you can have multiple tags (categories) per card, and that you can also save a set of active tags for easy reference later on. This effectively creates something like virtual decks, but it is much more powerful than using physically separate decks, as cards can belong to more than 1 virtual deck at once.
