I think the unspoken reason for why it's banned in extended and not standard is that standard no longer offers fetch lands which make Ponder significantly better.

Re: [Bug] Comment editor icons in Chrome (7 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
Yergi, I use Chrome as my primary browser (version 14.0.835.202) and I don't experience this issue.
What version are you using?
If not the latest version, is there an update available?
If on the latest version, then has this issue been there since the update or did it just start recently?

Re: need opinions on my deck list (5 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
I failed to mention in my previous post that the reason I think Ponder should be removed is that without shuffle effects it's really not that great of a draw engine, especially in multiples. Gitaxian Probe will get you a card just like Ponder does but instead of potentially stacking 2 cards on your library you can use the probe to see what you need to counter AND reduce your life total to maximize Timely Reinforcements.

Re: need opinions on my deck list (5 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
My take on your ivisi-blade deck is that it's pretty solid but you may want to consider dropping Ponder altogether as well as a copy of Think Twice in order to make room for 3 Gitaxian Probes and 2 Timely Reinforcements. Also, if in play-testing you seem to have problems with Liliana of the Veil I would find room for some Blade Splicers.
I'm not very familiar with the Puresteel builds in the new Innistrad world but I've heard that the deck likely needs a full set of Mentor of the Meeks to be effective.

I am sure the Deckbox community would be happy to provide insight on the decks you've posted. It could just be me but I don't see any decks here or even a recent thread created by this username. Will you post your decks again so we're all on the same page and have a common thread to work in?

Not a problem. I am always happy to help when I have the time. I hope you are happy with whatever changes you make and you have fun with the deck. Good luck!

Re: Deck opinions. (5 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
I agree with the suggestion that Zombie Goliaths and Caustic Hounds are not pulling their weight in the deck. I think you have much better cards in your collection to pick from than those. I would probably drop them for:
Bloodline Keeper
Grave Titan
Sun Titan
Sword of Feast and Famine
I would also suggest dropping the main-deck Celestial Purge for Solemn Simulacrum. And removing cards that take multiple black to either cast or make good (e.g. Blind Zealot, Drifting Shade and Morbid Plunder) for some white cards like Blade Splicer, Suture Priest or Archon of Justice.
Lastly, I would adjust your mana base a little to compensate. Maybe 16 Swamps and 8 Plains depending on what else you bring in.

Re: How Do You Move Decks Into Folders? (6 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
I have confirmed it is an issue specific to IE9. IE8 and IE7 work fine.
You can work around it by switching into IE8 document mode in IE. Press F12 and change the document mode (center-top) from "IE9 Standards" to IE8.
Outside of that (or using another browser of course) this will have to be fixed at the Deckbox.org level. If I get a chance I'll see if I can track it down to save them some time.

Re: Inventory Privacy (3 replies, posted in General Discussion)
It is possible to password-protect decks. You need to open the deck and then go to edit > Privacy. There is also the option to make the deck completely private.

Warp World and Wild Evocation are both on theme.
Additionally, Brand and Insurrection could be added to augment your chaotic theme and help you win the game.

* Add all cards in excess of 4x to tradelist
I really like this idea. I don't feel the need to keep any more than 4 copies of a card in my collection which, by default, means that any in excess of 4 are available for trade. Perfect!

Total Cards - Cards in Actualized Decks = Available Cards
Such a clean solution!
This is also a good idea for those who like to own every card they use instead of using proxies or not building a deck because they only have 4 Force of Wills and not 8. It would be nice, however, if this was optional; as stated above I don't keep anything more than 4 copies so this setting would be fairly useless to me and those who share my opinion.

We get the information from gatherer, who usually is updated with new sets a few days before the prerelease.
As we are off on holiday the next couple of weeks, the new set data will most probably be imported on sunday the 25th of september.
Based on the above quote (and the fact that Gatherer has Innistrad already) it's reasonable to assume that Deckbox does not get its card data from Gatherer in real time. It looks like an import process is ran manually that brings the card data from Gatherer to the local Deckbox databases for performance reasons. The good thing is that once the cards have been imported this site can access them significantly faster than if they were getting them directly. The bad thing is that users of this site may have to exercise additional patience from time to time (like when a set release coincides with a Deckbox holiday).
I, for one, would rather have the website run faster overall. Even if it means I have to wait a few extra days for new sets. If I had to guess, I bet Deckbox.org doesn't like running the import process any more than you like waiting for it to be ran.

Re: Feature Request: FTV: Legends (and innistrad!) (7 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
Deckbox.org gets all their card data from Gatherer which, although provided by wizards, does not yet contain innistrad. Once the Gatherer database has innistrad deckbox will get it. Here is a prior feature request for the same thing that got answered by sebi.

Re: [Request] Option to add decklist to inventory (3 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
It's not overly apparent but the green column in the deck lists that shows what you have in your inventory can be clicked on and edited. I know it's not as simple as a button but it's certainly easier than retyping everything.

Re: Rookie Debut . . . Thoughts on my first deck. (3 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
I would also recommend removing all 3 Inquisitor Exarchs and adding in Viscera Seer, Devouring Swarm and a Skinrender. I don't think your mana base supports playing the Exarch very well with only 5 plains. I am not saying you can't play it ever, I just doubt you see 2 plains often enough and early enough for their effect to be better than the other 3 cards I mentioned.
Skinrender is just a good card.
Devouring Swarm and Viscera Seer both combo with Reassembling skeleton to either help you find cards you want or to deal good damage.
Lastly, I wouldn't be too afraid to run Life's Finale, no offense to turbohappy. I think your deck would recover from it better than others with the reassembling skeletons and gravediggers. I just wouldn't put more than 1 or 2 in the deck.
Welcome to the game; I hope you have fun!
