I said it before, but I'll say it again: i really appreciate your feedback, keep it coming, be it positive or negative! ![smile](https://deckbox.org/forum/img/smilies/smile.png)

Often when I build (I've been in magic a while), I just start pulling cards to build around a specific synergy. Often, after I've wrecked the kitchen table and gotten in trouble with the wife, I find out that the deck is not extended/vintage/legacy/TwoHeadedGiant legal due to one card or another.
Good idea, and it wasn't even on my list, I overlooked this one. It's on the list now, and hopefully there's going to be no more trouble with the kitchen table, if you use the website to build the deck ![tongue](https://deckbox.org/forum/img/smilies/tongue.png)

This is coming really soon, as I am adding a 'bio' / 'description' user property along with the 'trade interface' changes.
TheShaman wrote:Also, I'd like to be able to include some notes with the decks I construct. Perhaps even further than that, enable visitors/friends to leave comments and give feedback about the deck inside the profile.
Notes yes, we can have that, as I want to add the ability to add notes to cards also.
Commenting is a bit tricky (as is 'deck rating' for example). This is because the decks are volatile. Someone can leave an insightful comment about your deck, and 2 days later you can totally change the deck contents. Then the comment will just be useless and confusing....
But commenting is definitely important, and I'll have to work something out in the future.
TheShaman wrote:Lastly (for now
), if it would be easy to implement, I'd like to flag a deck as the one/ones I'm playing right now, for say FNM, so that others will be able to see this in my profile. For me, this feature would indicate which decks I should leave comments for in other people's profiles. It would also be nice to flag a deck as my current FNM/Competitive build, a deck I have constructed for Casual, or as a conceptual list, because it would guide feedback about that deck differently for each one, and aid people in searching for the correct play level deck (@ The person with the Baneslayer Angel that needs a deck for it).
This is also something i need to think about a bit. A friend also asked me about "folders" or "labels" for decks... so that you can organize them if you get to the point where you have too many. The tagging thing you ask for is also related to this....
So this issue is on the TODO list as well... i'm still considering how to make it.
But... all these features come after the trade interface which is now in the works. I hope that's going to be available sooner rather than later... but the wait is going to be worth it, cause it's going to rock ![tongue](https://deckbox.org/forum/img/smilies/tongue.png)
