What Are Filtered Subdecks?

Anki lets you create filtered decks (custom study decks) that automatically gather cards matching certain criteria. These often appear as subdecks:

Medical School (mother deck)
  Medical School::Due Today (filtered subdeck)
  Medical School::New Cards (filtered subdeck)
  Medical School::High Priority (filtered subdeck)

Filtered decks need to be rebuilt periodically. This addon saves you from doing it one by one!
