I can see the usefulness of this when wanting to see the total quantity for a given card, e.g. you want to see which cards you own more than 2 playsets of (regardless of edition) so that you can get rid of the rest. In such a scenario, it would be useful to sort by the Count column but with other qualities ignored. In the ideal version, you'd be able to choose which qualities to ignore and which not. For instance, you might not want to include foils in that count, since you deal with them separately. Same goes for language. Or, you may not care one bit about any of those things, and you want to combine cards no matter their edition, condition, language, and foiling.

I don't see how useful it is with something like price, since price can often be very dependent on which edition a card is from (things like it being an old, low-print-run set or a unique art for that card can drastically increase the price of a card; for example, the Guildpact art of Godless Shrine costs twice as much as its Gatecrash and Allegiance variants, while a $3 Underworld Dreams costs $80 when it's from Legends). Even if cards WERE collapsed and sorted by price, which price would it default to using -- the high or low price?

In any case, the following guide is how you can achieve it manually.

1. Export your inventory to CSV.

   
   

2. Make a copy of that file as a backup; store it somewhere safe.

   
   

3. Open the other copy of that CSV in Excel.

   
   

4. Delete any columns that you don't care about.

   
   

5. Save and exit.

   
   

6. Back on Deckbox, in your Inventory go to Tools > Remove Everything. (Don't worry; we have the backup from earlier!)

   
   

7. Go to Add Cards > From a CSV File and import the file you edited above.

   
   

8. Play around with it to your heart's content!

   
   

9. When you're done, Remove Everything again and re-import from the original backup. Done!

   
   

If you do this type of filtering often, but don't add/delete cards from your inventory often, then I recommend keeping the edited CSV file around for later use. In fact, you could make multiple versions of it — one that ignores foiling, one that keeps it distinct, one that ignores language, one distinct, and so on — based on your specific needs.

This is a premium feature. As a premium member, you can mark your decks as "built" instead of just "ideas".

When building decks as ideas, they don't represent actual cards you own (which is why you can't specify things like edition), so it would make no sense for cards in deck ideas to go back into your inventory -- they're just ideas. What you're wanting are built decks, and specifically the ability to set each card in the deck to a specific card you own.

Then as a premium member, you have the option to auto-trade any cards that aren't in built decks. This solves the second part of your problem.

Rules aside, I think that it would be a very bad idea for any marketplace to engage in the practice of altering seller feedback on the basis of fairness. I agree fully that the buyer's reaction and subsequent feedback weren't fair or mature. I as a buyer would have greatly respected and appreciated your stated handling of the transaction, despite any negative feelings about missing out on a card. However, alterations to feedback should occur solely in cases of site errors (e.g. feedback being incorrectly linked to the wrong seller ID in the database) or the like, or else buyers will lose confidence in the system.

One of the risks that comes with being a seller is that you're almost guaranteed to encounter buyers who will leave you negative feedback no matter what you do. I read a good article a while back (specific to eBay, but applies here as well) that addressed this concern very well. If I can find it again, I'll link it. But the gist of it was that ultimately a track record of good customer service will win out. It definitely hurts you more when you get the negative feedback early on, as it represents a higher percentage of your score. But slow and steady will win the race. 

Oh wow! I'm so sorry!

I've never had this happen to me, so I have no idea how easily it can be fixed, but I recommend submitting a support ticket from the Help page, since the developers don't necessarily check the forums for these sorts of issues.

I hope it's fixable! If you don't mind, post an update so others can know in the future whether this is something that can be fixed.

I would recommend opening a support ticket, since the developers don't usually look through the forums to answer such issues. Go to "Help" at the top then look for "Contact, Support, & Feedback" on the left.

Since you already have your inventory in a spreadsheet, it might actually be easier to just figure out what you need to do in order to convert it into a Deckbox-compatible CSV file. I'd recommend exporting your current inventory to CSV, opening the downloaded file in Excel (or whatever), and comparing it to your spreadsheet. The main columns you need are:

• Count -- how many you own of that specific edition, collector number, condition, language, and foiling of a card

• Name -- card name (in English, even if you have a foreign version of the card)

• Edition -- most likely column to cause you errors upon import, if your edition name doesn't exactly match what's used by Deckbox; whenever you encounter such an error, just look up Deckbox's edition name and Find/Replace it in Excel

• Card Number -- can be left blank and will be filled in by Deckbox, except in the case of variant artwork (so things like basic lands or the variants of a single card name in sets like Alliances) *

• Condition -- fill in if you track condition (I don't, so I just left this column blank)

• Language -- just like with Condition, if you don't have this column or leave it blank, it'll show up as an unknown language in Deckbox

• Foil -- keep this value blank for non-foils, or enter "foil"

You can reorder those columns however you'd like in your spreadsheet, and it won't affect import. You can also delete any columns you don't want to worry about.

Even if you decide to continue adding them via Card List in batches, you can cut out steps 1-2 and step 12. Applying those filters doesn't matter for importing; only setting the defaults in step 4 needs to be done.

________________
* A few cards don't have unique card numbers in Deckbox, so you may have to manually set them in Deckbox if the default isn't correct. For instance, the basic lands from Battle for Zendikar have both normal and full-art versions of each, but each full-art basic land shares a card number with its normal counterpart. Some of the lands will default to full-art; some will default to normal art. It's annoying, because anytime I re-import via CSV, I have to re-update those.

Mostly just because it was a lot of work as it was! LoL. And I figured it would be better to focus on the major products first.

At some point I'll probably get them all listed as a new category, so if you wanted to proactively submit a CSV for the Spellslinger set or any other starter products you may have, feel free and then I'll already have them on-hand at the time I update the listings. 

Thanks so much! I'm about to commit a new version within the next couple days, so I'll mark that product as verified as soon as I do.

As to other products to check, just glance through the lists, and double-checking anything that you own that's marked in red would be greatly appreciated!

((I actually own all of the duel decks except the Ajani half of Ajani vs. Nicol Bolas, but most of them I'm keeping as sealed product. Only the ones currently marked in blue were opened to where I could check them.))

MAJOR UPDATE: I created a web page (hosted on GitHub) that should be a 99% comprehensive listing of all preconstructed products that WotC has ever released (excluding some of the most basic starter decks, like the Two Player sets and Welcome Decks). If there's a product that I haven't listed, please let me know and provide a link to the source!

And yes, I borrowed Deckbox's styling, just for fun. 

Doing this allowed me to clean up / shorten the original post in this thread (since this forum software doesn't include spoiler blocks), including only the most recent products that the majority of people will want to be adding.

Page: bit.ly/MTGprecons (note that capitalization matters with Bitly links!)

Tested on Chrome (desktop and Android), Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Opera.

Internet Explorer 11 does not support the Javascript, so instead the page displays a "jump menu" in place of the dropdowns.

Thank you so much for contributing! It's comments and assistance like this that make the project feel worth doing. 

I have added the CSV files to the original post. I made a couple tweaks:

• More clearly labeled the sideboard within the CSV file (the "Sideboard" heading doesn't affect import at all).

• Reordered the cards in Edition > Coll.# order (just to match the ordering of all the other CSVs).

• Merged a couple other duplicates (Renewed Faith, Aethersphere Harvester). I also threw in a column called "Deck Count" to note how many of a merged card should be in the maindeck vs sideboard (column is ignored during import).

Please reply with the CSV file attached so that we can look at it and help you figure it out. 

As you've probably seen, they've been updated today. Yay!

Just wanted to mention in case it would help: I've uploaded CSVs for each of the decks in this thread so that it's easier to import the entire deck into your Inventory. Let me know if there's any issues with it, but they all worked fine for me!

Dude, this is awesome! I always love it when everybody from the community bands together to offer different solutions. I'm not a macro person, so I didn't even think of this. So cool.

Curious, though -- I thought that Sebi had added a native Deckbox feature to import from a Decked Builder CSV. If you go to your Inventory > Add Cards, it's one of the options for import. Is it not working properly right now?
