It defaults to 'from inventory' when the deck is marked as built and is unchecked by default in deck ideas (as a deck being "built" signifies those cards are in your inventory already most of the time). I'm not sure what the best solution is... I could try to make it "sticky" so it just defaults to whatever you clicked last.

Is it possible to add the card preview image on the collection add?

Yep, I can add something for that. In the printing dropdown on card pages (the selector at the top of the page on a card page: https://deckbox.org/mtg/Mountain?fromqs=true) there is a "picture" icon, that when hovered shows the card. I could add this to all the autocompleted selectors I suppose.

Haha, I should have kept reading. Looks like you got it under control. This solution would be greatly appreciated.

It would be lovely to have that implemented. When select from collection is not selected, you could use the default selection.

I have encountered many problems with this update, and I don't know if they are bugs or if I don't understand the new features/changes.

All the problems are in the decks section.
First of all, I can't "autofill" my decks with cards from my collection anymore, I tried the "match details to collection" button and it doesn't seem to work, it just completes some cards but most of my cards remain with unselected versions. All my decks are now "versionless" and it is a pain to get them manually card by card on almost 100 decks.

Also, the deck tab now uses cards on my wishlist and doesn't show them in red, but in white as I just have them, which makes shopping a bit awkward. The shopping assistant button seems to be missing as well :(

Having multiple prints/conditions on a playset also makes the "cards not owned" count to increase even if I have all of them.

Colors in general seems strange, I dont understand the logic behind colors in card counts on decks (white/green/yellow/red).


Hopefully someone can help me understand what's a bug and what's me not understanding the update :S
Thanks in advance!!!

Tags in drop down:

When using the drop downs to add cards to deck or manage decks you can see the associated Tags for each card, however the display page is missing those tags. It would probably be more consistent to have it visible anytime you are referencing the actual printing:

Yeah, the previous system just picked something in your inventory to match to, and the new system just picks something if it's the only thing in your inventory. I am thinking to make this more aggressively picking *something* from your inventory, even when you have multiple things it could match...

The shopping assistant button seems to be missing as well :(

Which page / column / count is this happening on?

Yeah, this was perhaps a bad idea to change those. I am looking at changing them back. The idea was if a card is matched to the inventory, the inventory count is green, if to wishlist the wishlist count is green. Then the count of the card in that deck varies, depending if it's matched or not, if you have enough or not on the matched one. I'm thinking to change the colors back on the inv/wish counts and just add an indicator next to the printing details to show if it's matched to inv or wish or not matched.

It would be awesome, at first glance, it looks like you don't have copies of a card if it looks like this.

Oh, sorry, I didn't see that post.

Which page / column / count is this happening on?

Take a look, for example, i've a playset of Birds of Paradise, but all 4 cards have different conditions / editions and 1 is missprinted. The "cards not owned" section of that deck counts as i have only 1 Bird:




For this issue the only alternative that i've found its to split the copies, but obviously its pretty annoing:

I think its a good idea, but yes, the old system worked perfectly well for me.
Its just a shame that you can only match with one exact version of a card instead of mixing all the versions/conditions/languages you have in your collection like it used to be.


Thanks for developing this awesome app ;)

All my decks are now "versionless" and it is a pain to get them manually card by card on almost 100 decks.

Not to belabor the point but I think this much more succinctly covers my thoughts/feelings on this latest update, particularly the portion above regarding the "match details to collection" tool not really working. I'll also add that I used to be able to change the edition of a card by clicking the drop down on the set symbol but now have to go through extra steps of using the drop down on the card name and go through a series of sub-menus to pick an edition which is a lot clunkier and less efficient than it was before.

Noticed that when i try and match to collection it shows every printing, not just those in my collection.. and if i choose a printing i dont have it automatically adds it to my inventory.

Cool new update sebi , I was a bit shocked when all the colors were gone, but as soon as I realized the difference between deck idea and built it all comes together.

The cards automatically matching to a specific card in a collection only if it's the only one feels like it creates more work, although on the other hand, before I had to manually check each row to see if it picked the correct one. On the plus side, using the quick-menu (arrow) -> matching -> owned and picking the correct card seems very quick. Would almost say it was faster than before to correctly match 10+ cards in a deck I imported..

A suggestion:
1) To auto-run the 'match to inventory' after the 'add card list' function has been used. 95% of times I import a complete decklist at one time, running the 'match to inventory after this would save me a few clicks.

2) A setting for the auto-matching when several different cards are present, for example a) newest printing b) oldest printing c) complete playset

Good Job, change is always scary :)

Hey Sebi enjoying the new update, still trying to get my head around it haha. I have noticed that the card count only is highlighted if there is a conflict within the deck, but not with other decks.
In my example, i have 1 each of 4 different versions of esper sentinel. I have one deck that needs 4, which i have split into 4 rows each matching one version. I have another deck that needs one, and it is set to one of the versions. This doesn't highlight yellow or prompt cards not matched to collection, when previously it did. I have the setting for sharing cards between decks turned off. In the image you can see for the third copy I have only one of that printing, and need two in my built decks but it isnt yellow.


Another suggestion is to add the split row button to the new edit this row only drop down, same as in the edit all menu.

Thanks

This is an interesting and complex change, wow! While I'm still getting used to it, some initial thoughts:

1. There should be a "Add a new row for this card" like feature that splits the row, i.e., subtract one from count of the existing row. That'd make it easier to associate cards in a deck with their respective collection copies when going from idea to built deck.
2. Exporting decklists should collapse multiple entries for a card into one. Judges don't care that some of my cards are EX, others are NM, it's not even reflected in the text export/decklist. This may have been a problem before but since I always use the same printing/language for a card in a deck, and didn't care about the selected condition (see also below), I may just never have noticed.
3. It is not possible to revert from a specific printing to the default one. It counts as a custom printing, including showing the yellow highlight. I have 17 Archaeomancers, and the row reverted to "default" claims that I don't have enough of the card in this specific printing, probably because all of them have set and language defined.
4. It would be nice to get back the red indicator for not owning enough of a card in any printing / all versions combined. That's different from having to improvise wrt printings to a significant enough degree to get a separate indicator IMO.
5. Language, set, version, all are more significant for deck building than condition, but it's still useful to track condition for cards when my expensive cards differ there. In particular for premodern or legacy decks I have old cards in multiple wildly different conditions, but otherwise (language, set) identical. Needing up to four rows to correctly reflect this in a built deck seems unnecessary, especially when I own exactly as many as I put in a deck. Perhaps the UI could be streamlined for this case, so internally it's still 4 entries/"rows", but it only shows as one, perhaps with a more complex Edition column?

trying to edit a deck but the drop down for picking what card from my collection it is is missing!!! is this going to be fixed?

It's on the left side of the card name, I consolidated everything into a single menu, but have received feedback that this is not intuitive nor as fast as when the "matching" dropdown was next to the printing.

I'm currently working to revert the color changes for the count columns (inv, wishlist etc), and to add that information and a dropdown menu back next to the printing.

Hmm, seems to work on my phone. Which browser are you using?

I'm not sure if this bug is related to the changes in this thread, but as I've only seen it after these were implemented, I'm guessing so.

On the Inventory screen, if I filter by "Edition Printed In" -> "Is one of", it gives me too many results. I get ALL the editions I own of the cards that are from the selected set.

For example, selecting Ravnica Remastered I see thirteen different printings of Act of Treason, instead of just the one I have from Ravnica Remastered.

Thanks for all the hard work on the site!

From what I see, that's not a bug. There's two edition searches. There's "Edition Printed In", which will find you a card in your collection if it was printed in that edition, and there's "Edition Owned", which will find only a card you own in that edition. I play casually, so I hadn't bought a Kamigawa Farewell. I DID buy the Dr. Who decks. If I search White Sorcery with Edition Owned as Kamigawa, Farewell won't show. If I search White Sorcery with Edition Printed In, it'll show my Whovian Farewell.

Edition Printed In is basically an extension of the Format search, but for set specific. Are you going to an Alara block tournament and need to know what you can bring? Good news if you have a Magic Origins or Dragons of Tarkir version of Dragon Fodder

Totally agree with everything you said. This update is awful, no offense. It does not improve the user experience at all.

I also think that the update with the drop-down sub-menus is really tedious to use and the overall experience gets frankly annoying after a while... Can we please revert to the previous version? I have been a user of this site for many years and would like to continue using it in the long term...

Thanks!

I have added back the dropdown next to the card details, removing the "Matching" submenu. It seems the change has been confusing for many. I have tried to not have it as a simple caret icon but with a text & color showing what the card is matched to (inventory/wishlist/custom/default).

I changed the column colors for inventory count and wishlist count back to just always be green and yellow, messing with that has been also confusing. Reverted.

The deck count should be red again now when the count is larger than the sum of the card (over all printings) in inv + wish.

Will think more about 1. and 5.. Waiting to see if any other users also mention similar wishes, before changing this.

2,3,4 should be fixed now.

Would it be possible to have a small search bar for basic lands in the "Owned (Inventory)" dropdown?
Those like me that are thorough with basic lands in their collections can have a hundred different sets and conditions for a given basic land, it makes it hard to find in the list.

Thanks!

Not sure if this addressed my issue about the sub-menus... I wish that instead of having to click on "Basic Card" first, we could go directly to the desired filters (e.g. Rules Text), as we could do before the latest update?

Thanks for considering my request! :)

I would very much like to see #1. That's my primary use case for "add new row for this card."

Hey there, I’ve been a long time user of the site for my collection because I love the easy way to get the cards into the sets that we have. I haven’t been on in a while due to some mental health stuff going on but I wanted to reorganize our cards

I noticed the update with the set organization was moved from the button next to the details column to a carrot next to the name of the card with a drop down. Is that the new version? The details button was so intuitive but I can figure out the carrot if this is the decided way to go - the original button was a simple click and go that I loved when I used the site a while ago

Keep up the good work and I love how this site is, if it is sticking with the carrot that’s fine I just wanted to make sure before I had to wrap my brain around it. I’m not sure how long it’s been this carrot, since it’s been a while since I’ve been on the site

Hi, I don't know if this reply fits in this topic, but I thought it was the closest it could fit to.

When I purchased the Premium version I thought (maybe hoped) it could have helped me with one issue I have when building my decks. Let me explain. I usually build multiple different decks at once, this is why I was intrigued by the possibility to set a deck as built. What I was hoping to obtain was a way to assign and keep track of the cards I own through multiple decks. An example: if I own 8x Brainstorm (4x from Ice Age and 4x from Mercadian Masque), I was hoping that, after using all 8 of them in two decks (picking one version for one deck and the other for the other; this I can do) I would have the possibility to see (maybe with the usual red colored background number, used when cards are not in the inventory or another color not to mix those two concepts; orange, for example) that I was missing other copies once I wanted to add additional Brainstorm to a third deck. It looks to me that the first column shows already how many you are using in the current deck compared to how many you have (4/8 in my Brainstorm example before). Maybe there's a way to show also how many you are using in all built decks.

This would help me in understanding how many copies of each card I need to build all the decks at once without having to move cards form deck to another. I usually proxy the additional cards I don't have enough copies of (more than 4) and this feature would help me a lot.

I hope I was able to explain myself.

Have a nice day.

Yep, you should also see that you are missing cards after you assign the details from inventory in the deck listing. 2 things to check:

- in My Account -> Settings, you can set it either that you are moving cards between decks, or not. (So 4 Ice Age brainstorm can be or cannot be used in 2 separate built decks at a time)
- that the "Decks Count" column is selected in deck listings and in inventory so you see all the counts in the table
