last grail
Is there any way to recover them without rebuilding from scratch? Are there steps I can take to prevent this from happening in the future? Obviously I will back them up now but I make changes so often that it's not ideal to need to update my backups every time as well.

woah, holy mojibake, yeah this looks like an encoding mismatch, you can try opening the deck files in a text editor and saving them with utf8 encoding
keen zephyr
looks like you've converted it into hexadecimal values
last grail
idk i literally hit save with encoding and chose UTF-8
keen zephyr
hmm, but when you opened the file in the editor it opened like a normal xml plain text file?
last grail
it didn't have my original deck if thats what youre asking
and the other deck that doesnt load at all on cockatrice shows a different deck when i open it with the text editor
keen zephyr
cockatrice saves decks in an xml format, eg:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<cockatrice_deck version="1">
<deckname>Island Tribal</deckname>
<comments></comments>
<zone name="main">
<card number="60" name="Island"/>
</zone>
</cockatrice_deck>
ok yeah the fd up one did not look like that
the one that doesnt load looks like that but showed a completely different deck
keen zephyr
hmm, how did this happen?
