Is there any chance that there could be filtering by rarity in the future?
Filtering by rarity is an option already. See attached. Unless instead of filtering you mean sorting by rarity, which as far as I know is not possible yet.

This is also just as a general rule, EDH decks should have 40 lands. You can cut 1 land for every 2 mana rocks.
This really depends on the mana curve of the deck as well as a number of other factors. I've run as few as 35 lands in an edh deck before.
Add: I've never seen higher than 40 though.

Since your commander is identified for the colors White and Green, you cannot use cards that can be identified to other colors.
For example, your Archers' Parapet cannot be used in your deck because of the above.
To expand on this, a card's color identity is defined by any mana symbols in the mana cost of the card or any abilities it has. A commander (EDH) deck can only contain cards that have a color identity included in the commander's color identity. Archers' Parapet, for example, is a Green card (since it only costs green mana to cast), BUT it's color identity is black/green because of the black mana in it's ability. Therefore it can only be used in commander decks in which the commander is both black and green.
Other examples of color identities:
Bosh, Iron Golem is red.
Memnarch is blue.
Qasali Pridemage is green/white.
Kitchen Finks is green/white.
Selesnya Signet is green/white.
Hypergenesis is green.
Fetch lands such as Flooded Strand are colorless.(See, no mana symbols)
Basic lands are their respective colors. (Plains is white.)
The one exception to this is that mana symbols in reminder text don't count. Blind Obedience is a white card with a mono-white identity because the black symbol is in the reminder text. Dual lands like Steam Vents are their respective colors because of Rule 305.6.

What I don't like is when you sort by edition, they are no longer in a logical order. It used to sort by set, then alphabetical, but now the secondary order seems random.
It looks as though the previous sort was by color, descending. Though if it is as you say and the secondary sort is currently random, that is something that should be mentioned to sebi. Imo it should remember the previous sort and use that as the secondary.

Re: Bug: Sort By Edition (4 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
Works just fine for me. It looks like that sort only included 44 cards. Is it possible they're all from M11?

Even deckbox users that seem to like it here still do shop on tcgplayer and other places, and not here. I am not sure why... I suppose it also takes time for it to gain some footing...
The answer to this question for me is simply the Mass Card Entry and Cart Optimizer options that TCG offers. I would love to devote 100% of my Magic budget to Deckbox, but buying a decent number of cards (10+) is simply much, much easier and faster on TCG.
And in reference to the posts above mine, I would absolutely buy Deckbox deckboxes, sleeves (if good quality, see: DragonShield, KMC), and for sure a t-shirt.

Re: USPS Tracking Problems (6 replies, posted in General Discussion)
USPS has been more inconsistent overall, imo, for the last few months or so. One thing to keep in mind though is that because of the holiday season the USPS is handling a much larger volume of letters/packages than the rest of the year. More packages handled means more packages lost.
Example: Here was the tracking for a TCG sale I made a while ago: Tracking. Refunded the buyer when it looked completely lost after a couple weeks.

Topic: Changing card details in a decklist adds the Edition/Rarity column (0 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
Title doesn't exactly describe the issue cause it's hard to sum up in that amount of space. I'll just outline the steps I used to reproduce.
1) Browse a decklist. Has to be editable, so I'm guessing this only works with one's own decklists.
2) Click the Inventory or Wishlist count for one of the cards.
3) Click Apply.
4) New column appears.

Re: Etiquette for cards lost in mail? (3 replies, posted in General Discussion)
If no tracking was used then unfortunately nothing can be done. The USPS loses stuff sometimes; I can attest to this personally. Your safest bet would be to open a BTR explaining the situation. The likely decision is that they will give you permission to cancel the trade.

Re: Nahiri EDH (1 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
Looks pretty solid to me. I would change some things just based on personal preference, but nothing big. I personally focused more on the token theme for my Nahiri deck.
Also, if you are playing with friends, take out Iona. Everyone hates playing against that card.

Re: Location Information (4 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
Sellers select which countries they are willing to ship to, not Deckbox.
The most common reason sellers are not willing to ship internationally is the cost of tracking the packages. For example, the cost to send a bubble mailer with a reasonable number of cards (3 oz. or less) from the US to Canada with tracking would be roughly $20-35. In contrast, First-Class International Mail of the same weight will cost less than $3, but does not provide tracking. The only alternative is Registered Mail which requires a signature for the package to be delivered. This costs $13.65 which is (I believe) in addition to the ~$3 for First-Class International Mail.

Re: Shocklands...what about Bolt land(s)? (5 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Of course to be playable in modern they would have to have the basic land types, though it doesn't seem like wotc would put 3 basic land types on 1 card. I would definitely play them in edh even without the basic land types.

Re: average price less than minimum price? (6 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
Sebi hasn't told us exactly what is in the pricing algorithm(s), but for sure the price of sold cards is a factor. It's possible that a (or multiple) copy of Paper Tiger was sold for less than 97c, bringing the average down. Of course it's also possible that Paper Tiger just needs to be hit with the pricing algorithm again.
