Dont know if this is the correct place to post this, but I noticed the wrong rarity on two cards in the new commander 2021 set.

Sanguine blood is currently registred as Uncommon, when it's supposed to be Rare.

Thanks for the amazing work you do on this site!

Underworld Breach is now properly marked banned in Legacy.

- imported missing double-sided Amonkhet tokens
- fixed Blast Zone card number to 504
- imported Fractal // Treasure missing token from Strixhaven
- imported double sided Hour of Devastation tokens (some of them actually HOU//AKH)
- imported Commander 2021 tokens

Thank you Solseek & the other guys reporting in detail what is missing.

Hello,

Sadly last week a bug was introduced (part of a large backend framework / libraries upgrade) that caused the "unread" status of chat messages on trades and orders to not be properly set, so notifications of unread messages were not delivered, and the icon in the left menu with the "unread messages" was not rendered.

I have fixed the bug now but some data regarding the "unread" flag was lost (i.e. never saved), so the only way to get users the missing notifications was to mark all the chat messages since last Thursday as "unread".

Notifications will now be correct for those of you have not manually looked through their trades / orders, but if you did read some new messages, they will now again be shown to you as "unread" until you open the trade/order again.

Sorry for the mishap.

There have been a bunch of 'stealth' updates to the site infrastructure recently - the web framework and libraries needed to be brought up to date. I think I ironed out most of the bigger problems but if you notice any weirdness or bugs please let me know.

Belated database updates:

- imported Historic Anthology 5
- imported 6 missing Secret Lair Drop Series cards
- imported missing Secret Lair: Ultimate Edition cards
- imported missing Strixhaven The List cards
- imported missing Strixhaven tokens, single & double sided

Still a bunch more to come tomorrow (Amonkhet tokens, Hour of Devastation tokens, C21, etc). Will post again then with the details.

Hey Sebi,

Do we have an ETA for the Strixhaven Art Series and the C21 tokens?

Yep, I'm trying to catch up with all the stuff missing from the database tomorrow.

Yeah, deck pages were not designed to support thousands of entries. All changes to any card re-render the whole listing (for totals and statistics and stuff), even though that would not be necessary (or should be cleaned up and optimized). But the idea was that a deck is something small(ish), and not made to be paginated, like big collections.

I think when we finally have tags for inventories a large number of usecases that people use decks for will move to use that instead. (except gigantic cubes)

Yes, same dropdown you can choose  "Add new row for this card", then select a different printing for that row.

I mean it lists all the cards in the dropdown, but due to the ordering its
not really useable.

This is not a problem with normal cards, since they dont have too many different printings,
but with basic lands its a real problem.

Yep, true. It's a bug actually, the "normal" edition / collector number ordering was supposed to be used there. Fixed now!

This one? https://www.dropbox.com/s/5mlzlpk79ji8mm8/Screenshot%202021-05-26%20150549.png?dl=1

I know this is not the topic for it,

but is it possible to have some kind of upgrade on the built decks subpages when adding basic lands?
I have a lot of different basic lands and under rhe deck subpage i cannot set wich exact copy is in the deck. There is a dropdown, but it lists the cards in last added order. Could you look into it at some time?

You mean the ordering of the printings in the "details" dropdown in the deckbuilder, right?

Ah it's the mobile view, now I understand why I was not seeing it. Thanks for reporting! Fixing now.

Since yesterday the main site wont come up, it shows “{ }” for me.

Is the problem on my end?

I did deploy a large update of backend upgrades yesterday, might be the problem. Can you send me a screenshot to support@deckbox.org please?

Thanks guys for the heads up. All good now.

Just another issue I have with the user-settable etched flag: pricing will need significant work for that to work. Right now the normal foil is the only "special case" there, and adding a second "special case" is going to be a non-trivial amount of work.

I'm still leaning towards having them as separate printings (as they are in real life) somehow. Perhaps a separate edition that has a distinct edition icon is still the cleanest way to go, despite the explosion in editions...

It's clear by now that wizards is not stopping the explosion of special "editions" they produce, quite the contrary. So I do need to find nicer UIs for a "we now have a huge amount of editions" problem anyway, along with updates to the edition icon handling that is now cumbersome and old (cumbersome to add special icons for editions i mean, as evidenced by the "ribbon" everywhere and extras having same icon as main set etc).

So if I have to do it anyway, perhaps adding a separate edition for etched is not that big of a deal....

I have gotten a few other reports of this happening, but I could never reproduce. Might be just happening for users from the U.S. since the server (and myself) are in EU. I need to look closer a this...

I don't envy you Sebi. Has the DB at least behaved through the upgrades? Many a weekend have I spent babying a DB that decided to throw tantrums....

Not sure, I did not yet deploy the changes on live. big_smile

I'll make a post in announcements when I'm sure about the deploy.

My main concern is still with ease of identification when scanning lists of cards (whether in trades or one's own inventory). Most other card identifiers are easier to identify at a glance.

You are right, this might be a considerable issue. I'm just still apprehensive a bit about adding another user-settable flag for those (not completely sure why... just feels a bit not right). I feel it might lead to people just misusing the flag, marking stuff etched foil when the card does not have such a printing, then adding it to trades, etc...

Regarding proxies, that one is easier, it does indeed need a flag, and special handling for pricing calculation. On the list.

Still here, just not vocal big_smile.

Working on some infrastructure updates, bringing the backend framework updated to current-day versions. Db updates and other info was waiting for this stuff, which as usual way exceeded the initial estimation smile.

Regarding the flags meldon44, I'm currently leaning in favor of what scryfall is doing, making the collector numbers strings instead of integers and adding those printings in parallel. I think that might be the cleanest way...

Back up now. thanks for reporting the issues guys. I'm keeping an eye on the situation, and trying to find out what caused the db problems in the first place.

Sorry about that guys, a memory leak and crash on the db then the appserver did not properly reconnect after restart. All good now.

I personally think just implementing another flag would not only be the most accurate, but also the most clear. When scanning through a list of cards, it would be a lot easier to tell a card is etched by seeing a special icon than by having to hover over the edition icon to see that the edition's name includes "etched".

I really don't understand why they would print these with the same collector number... very annoying of them big_smile.

Your solution sounds good in principle but adding it as a flag has the confusing problem that people could just mark any printing as "etched", regardless if it exists or not. Having it as a separate edition would be easier to have it be "consistent with reality".

I agree about there being too many editions, I think there's already too many and with how many promos Wotc is printing it's clear whatever we do with etched, this is going to be a problem regardless... So in principle I'm leaning towards a separate edition, although I don't really like it...

* Imported tokens for Challenger Decks 2021
* moved the Metallic Sliver to its own card. (Wizards seems to more and more often print tokens with the same name as an existing card...)
* imported Kaldheim foil double sided tokens (I thought I had already imported these a month ago but it seems they were prepared but the script was not run sad)
* Imported Promo Pack: Kaldheim

Many thanks to everybody who reported them missing or sent links / info on the cards, I do read all the messages (also on the forum) although I don't always respond.

Still missing, to come in a couple of days: Strixhaven tokens, double sided, C21 double sided, The List (for strixhaven).
