They're perfect! Thanks a lot!
Only 2 sets to go (I've updated the list in the first post).
I've uploaded them, tooltips and card pages for these 2 sets should now show the correct card image. (If you still see the card back image in tooltips for these 2 sets, you might need to clear your browser's cache)
Yep, thanks a lot for the report. I've just fixed them.
These will be hopefully easier to spot after I add images for more of the cards (I'm working on that).
Yep, I've thought about this, and I think it's an important feature.
What held me back from implementing it is that in their current form, decks can be radically changed after someone rates them, rendering the rating irrelevant.
But there will be some changes in the near future that will enable this. So stay tuned 
Here's to a nice weekend for everybody, spoilers are rumored to start on monday.

P.S. I don't play white much, but I have to say the white looking artwork pieces are vastly superior... especially the Kor guy, the Lady bleeding on the artifact, and the army attacking on the plains... I don't like Sharkhan or the new planeswalker guy Gideon artwork too much, but you know what they say about the eye of the beholder...
And I love what they did with the lady pictures here... they've made a flying white angel that looks like a young Cate Blanchett and a black vampire in leathers... pfff... they've surely covered all their bases with those 2...
For Magic and Warcraft, I've made graphs on the deck tools page that show the cost distribution of cards in a deck (i.e. the mana curve). Having never played Warhammer yet, I'm asking you guys if you think such a graph is relevant for your decks, and if so, how I should implement it.
If there were only static costs for cards, I'd have just implemented it as a cost graph, like for WoW, but I'm not sure how to fit the loyalty costs in there so that it is relevant.
Any opinions welcome.
Yep, they have printed my beloved elf 
. I will have to make a new deck to win one though, it would be pretty ugly to use my Jund deck to win one of these
Originally spoiled here.
Update 05 March: All up to date.
I will add new cards as they appear to the database when their spoilers are added to the official forums.
The card scans used for tooltips are 300px high (or 300px wide, in case of Quest cards). Any size larger than that is fine, I will take care of resizing them properly. People who would like to help with scans, should scan a full expansion, and post a reply here, attaching a zipfile with the scans. The images should have the collector's number as name, and jpg as the format.
Sets in need of scans
Thank you!
Thanks to a prolific MtG deckbuilder (Locke) that turned to other games, I'm proud to present the first new game to be added to deckbox: Warhammer: Invasion. (Card list here: http://deckbox.org/games/whi/cards)
A relatively new game, it lacks an official card database, or deck building software. So I figured we could make an effort to accomodate them here. The lack of an official card listing or database makes this task a bit difficult, along with the fact that I personally do not have easy access to the game expansions in my home town.
So I have set up a thread here where the Warhammer players can give me a hand with spoilers and card scans as expansion sets come out.
So... Welcome and happy deckbuilding! (and jump over to the other thread to help me with the missing card scans )
Also, great reason for celebration: you guys have created 500 public decks!!
Yay!
After much deep and profound brain things inside my head [1], I have decided to get rid of the multiple ways of adding cards to sets, as it was confusing. So now there's only one 'Add cards' button and widget, autocompleted, and one input for importing lists of cards.
Moreover, I was annoyed by having to click around to switch from Inventory to Tradelist to Wishlist just to see and modify something about one card. So now I have added the counts on all the sets, in the full set listing, and also on the card page, so wherever I am I can see and modify the number of cards of that type that I own / trade / need. Counts are also sortable now, thanks to the someone's nagging .
The tradelist is now a subset of your inventory. Whenever you add stuff *directly* to your tradelist, they will be added to your inventory also. When you want to add something that you already have in your inventory to your tradelist, you'd do so by going in your inventory and changing that card's tradelist count, from 0 to whatever.
You may find some of these changes confusing, ugly, annoying or just plain great. Either way - as always - I'd love to hear about it, don't hesitate to post feedback.
Much great and cool stuff is still to come, stay tuned for exciting announcements
This is very easy to do, but I have been reluctant to implement it. I'm not sure how many people want to see those large figures each time they look at their inventory
It has, however, been requested on a couple of occasions before, so it seems people would like to see that.
I am considering adding it as an option under the Tools menu (or another such non-intrusive place - meaning you have to specifically want to see it, and click somewhere to get to it).
Meanwhile, any new news on the development of deckbox.org? It has been a while and I'm getting a little lonely without you.
Yep... I've been slacking off lately, haven't done much programming.
Buuut... you'll be glad to find out there's big plans for the coming weeks / months. There will be changes to the whole Inventory / Wishlist / Tradelist interaction, the much - awaited ability to add foiled / edition info to cards, and also I promise to find a way to accommodate your sub-inventory sets request.
All that, plus some surprises along the way
So stay tuned for exciting updates!
It appears UDE is stopping development of the TCG. 
As far as I understand, Blizzard has plans for something similar though. Anyone with better rumors about this?
As of now, card prices are in too.
The second set in the Zendikar block, Worldwake is imported.
Those of you who attended the pre-release events can now add the cards to your collection, and start tweaking decks
Card prices are not yet in, as not all pages in tcgplayer.com have updated price aggregates.
Hehe, I understand
There aren't that many restricted cards, so checking for them isn't that much work, still would be useful
Uhm, what I actually wanted to say was that you shouldn't rush it
I'm slowly but surely getting to that too
And one question, did you make all this by yourself ?
Yep!
Hi there,
It would be very useful to have a column in the deck editor that tells me in what the card in legal.
Yep, I haven't thought about that since I only play standard . So if I have exteded cards in a standard deck, I just enable the edition column and I can quickly tell what the extended cards are. But you're right, it might be useful for larger formats.
Oh, and what I also noticed, in my poison deck used to be 3 Ponder cards but there are restricted, so only 1 was legal in vintage, but still the legality checker said it was legal in vintage.
Yes, this is a limitation of the format checker. It does not take into account the number of cards of each type you have at all, only if the card itself is legal in the format. So you can have 5 Lightning Bolts and it will still say it's legal in Standard, or have 3 or some restricted card and ignore that.
I will have to fix this... but it was harder to implement, so I just went without it for the first version
Hey,
Thanks for your kind words
About the deck legality... after you enter a deck that's "complete" (that's to say it has more than 60 cards), the legality will be displayed under the deck title.
Something like: "This is a complete Vintage deck." - see for example in your poison deck. (Of course, if it's legal in Standard it will only say Standard but actually it will be a legal Extended, Vintage and Legacy deck)
Now that I think of it.... maybe it should also display the legality in the "building" stages... meaning - even if it's not finished yet.
What do you guys think?
A bit later than I hoped, but now they should be imported (both Grand Melee and Naxx).
If there are any bugs or problems / typos, I welcome your feedback as usual.
Again, thanks a lot Zack for the images and xls files!
still the price difference between tcgplayer and magiccard.info is very strange, if one is using info from the other
(a random card i tested: Absorb Vis 29 cent vs 16 cent)
Yep, you are right. Although the price lists they both point to are identical (if you click on a price on magiccards.info, you will see the list of prices from here: http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/magic_sin … sorb%20Vis), the average is sometimes different for some reason.
I will investigate.
Hi Zack,
Thanks for the email. Will import the cards some time today / tomorrow.
As per your many requests, card prices for MtG cards are now fetched from http://tcgplayer.com. All prices displayed in sets and trades are average prices from that site. (http://magiccards.info also display card prices from there, so everybody should be familiar with them)
The deck view also now displays the total value, whose calculation uses the same prices.
Also, the split cards are now called by "both" their names. (e.g. Crime // Punishment).
Happy new year!
E.g. my (unfinished) notes for my Jund deck: http://deckbox.org/sets/26
I know some people felt the need to write some information for their decks - like strategy notes, cards to consider - so now you can! At the bottom of the deck page, there's a Notes section.
You can't have links or special formatting in them right now, just plain text, but who knows what the future willl bring
Merry Christmas everybody!
New WoW cards: Band of Channeled Magic, Boots of Utter Darkness, Ebonweave Robe, Khorium Boar, Ring of Invincibility, Signet of the Impregnable Fortress, Renewal of Life
Many thanks to Zack yet again!
P.S. As usual, any bug reports welcome (typos etc)
