Tagging / subsets in inventory

Originally requested by TheShaman, quite a while back. Postponed by me quite a few times because other stuff got in the way, and because I was not sure how to implement it. The idea is that many serious collectors have organized their cards into sub-collections, be it split on blocks, formats, or whatever other criteria, and it only makes sense that one should be able to do this with their inventory. Discussion here: http://deckbox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=67.


Mobile interface

No more printing tradelists or wishlists to take with you to FNM or your local store! Deckbox lists will be on your phone :P

Let me just say, wow. It's truly an awesome site.

Ability to specify card information (for MtG especially - foiled, edition, printing etc)

Would be pretty nice to see this for WoW TCG as well, Extended Art and Loot Cards, however, MtG needs it way more at the moment ;)

I see you are adding total deck value, will you be adding total value to collection inventory or tradelists as well?

Well if I'm adding it for decks, it's really easy to add it to the others as well. Not so sure if that would be ok though...

What do you guys think? Would that be useful and relevant?

Well, it could be an interesting function (how much is my collection worth), but it is up to you if you believe it is appropriate or not.

Maybe it isn't all that useful, but it would be interesting. I wouldn't make it 'on' by default; it should be a toggle-able option.

I have a few friends interested in the site that would like to import their collections and see how much they are worth. If they want it, I'm sure others will too.

I just want to see how much my pimped EDH deck is worth...hope the language/foil/edition options come soon. :D

I didn't actually put two and two together until now, but if you can link the tradelist to the inventory so that cards that are put in the tradelist automatically show up in the inventory, wouldn't it be nearly as easy to make multiple sub-inventories? As previously stated, this would be so that I can have my collection sorted by box here, as it is in the real world.

@collection value : I think I'll add that for all decks. It'll take a little while though, there's some issues and discussions regarding the card prices right now.

Yep, I'm thinking about this issue as well.

What is the ETA on the Mobile Interface and will it be iPhone/iPad friendly? :o

As for collection value I would be interested in seeing that as well.

It's high on the TODO list :) It will definitely be iPhone / IPad friendly (and touch devices in general).

This is already implemented. If you view one of your sets (Inv / Wishlist / Tradelist), just click on View, then Show Value.

Just wondering if it would be possible to set up a way to play casual games in this site

This has crossed our minds of course, but sadly it is a very difficult thing to implement decently :(

So I'd have to say this will come at some point in the far future, if ever.

I remember in magic workstation they just had basic mechanics, and you mostly depended on the people to regulate the game. Could this be possible?

This might have already been mentioned, but it would be cool if you could mark all cards past 4 available for trade.

Or have it set as an option in user profile, with a user defined number. I like having two play sets.

Ya, that is a good suggestion.

great site, but got a question/request, could you include Token cards in Magic The Gathering? it would be really great :)

Some tokens are in there, but they are listed different ways (some just by the card title, others as "____ token card"). A lot are missing, though: for example, saproling, kithkin soldier are two I was just trying to enter.

You're probably risking a lot of attention from WOTC if you implement this. I personally would love it as well, but is it worth the risk is my question. While I don't know the laws, id hate to see this wonderful site get shutdown.

Agreed. If anything the most useful feature I tend to find related to the decks themselves besides creation is the ability to generate opening hands. Plenty of other places to play and I would hope you would not lose focus on tweaking and adding features directly related to what is here now on the site.

As Jeff mentioned this is the first site I've even considered transferring my paper inventory sheets into.

I would like to see some functionality to help me keep track of what I loan out.

will windows phone 7 get some love? :D

You could do like i do, create a new deck per person with those cards in a Lend folder :)

So what is the progress on this? 2 years later.

Progress status is that other things got in the way :). It's still something we want to do though. So slowly but surely, it's coming :)

Please say there will be one for blackberry...I could kiss you if that were to be true!

So, things that would be useful to add.

Price listed anywhere in the tables of the actual card you added, not necessarily the cheapest price of all the versions.

Or, if you can't do that, when you click on a card and you get the cards on profile, if you click on the different versions, it should update the price for that.

Both these features are useful for say, promo vs normal prices, or Alpha vs 4th edition prices.

Thanks.
