Currently the only supported formats are Standard, Extended, Vintage, Legacy and Modern. Personally, I think Extended ought to be removed, as that one has been retired, but Commander could still be added. There are other formats, too, that could be added:

According to deckbox.org an Unhinged Island "has no foil price listed because it has only one printing (normal or foil) in this edition":

https://deckbox.org/mtg/Island?printing=6802

starcitygames.com would beg to differ:

http://sales.starcitygames.com/spoiler/ … p;foil=all

When I filter for cards with a Rarity of "Special" I get cards that were printed with that rarity even if the copies I own do not have that rarity.

For example, Tromokratis is a promo card from the Born of Gods Launch Party. But it's also a a regular rare. And when I apply the special rarity filter I see both copies instead of just the promo version.

If you want the rarity feature to show cards that were printed with a certain rarity, regardless of whether or not the copy you own has that rarity, maybe there should be two different rarity fields just as there are two different edition fields (ie. edition printed in vs. edition owned in)

I agree. See this:

I'd be curious to know what the main source of these errors are.

I could see searches for super generic names yielding hits for non-MTG items that could result in skewed prices for those cards. Is that what's going on or is there something else affecting the prices?

A non-foil Typhoid Rats from the 2015 Core Set is $0.14. A foil one, according to deckbox's pricing, is $4.51. This seems unrealistically high given that starcitygames.com is selling the foils for $0.99 and tcgplayer.com / ChannelFireball is selling them for $0.49.

There's a new media insert promo available:

Setting the Format filter for Legacy and the Color filter to blue and then sorting by price shows the most expensive blue card in Legacy is...  Fraternal Exaltation? And Gifts Given - a "Happy Holidays" card - is also apparently legal.

So I have an unhinged foil Island on my wishlist and according to that they're selling for $7.84. Thinking that's a great price (esp since they're selling on eBay for $50) I click on the green "Buy this card now" link and that doesn't pull up foil unhinged Islands - that pulls up Islands from every expansion ever and doesn't provide a way to filter that list. It seems like that'd be a useful feature.

Based on http://deckbox.org/games/mtg/cards?f=53161 you'd think the Asian Pacific Land Program cards have only one type but they in fact have three, per this:

http://magiclibrarities.net/44-rarities … index.html

Same thing for pretty much any base set, be it Theros, Innistrad, or whatever. I think it'd be useful maybe to have a drop down menu for cards with multiple different types in the same set where you can hone in on the particular one you have.

For basic lands, it's probably not as much an issue, but for (for example) the foil Zendikar full art lands, saying you have 2x islands, when each island is ~$20.00, would be kinda useful. What if someone's trying to get a full set of Islands. Person A says they have 1x and I have 2x different ones. But is there 1x one I need? Right now you can't really know.

Maybe they could do both. Have a Rules Text option and an Oracle Rules Text option.

The Gatherer's text for Leyline of Sanctity is "you have hexproof". Yet when I do an Advance Search for "you have hexproof":

I'm not sure if it helps if we just put them in a separate column... they'd just have another vertical line between them and the market price then...?

The advantage would be that the market price would all start at the same position instead of them having staggered starting positions. ie. they'd all be in a straight line.

Also, nominally related to this...

It seems that clicking on "11 (100% positive)" in the attached screenshot ought to do the same thing that clicking on "Positive (11)" does instead of just highlighting "Positive (255)".

Personally, I don't like them. But I think there are a few things that can be done to make them integrate with the site better.

First, I think the whole thing would flow better if the minimum prices with which you can buy cards through deckbox were their own column instead of offsetting the average deckbox market price.

Also, I think the deckbox minimum prices would be more useful if they didn't show up in your inventory but rather in your wishlist. And maybe in other peoples inventories. I mean, if you have 1x copy of a card and want 3x more than, in theory, that card should be in your wishlist 3x times. And if you already have as many as you want of a particular card then there's really no point to showing how much you could buy it at when you're not even in the market.

Seems like the prices have a few issues now. My foil Seedborn Muse from Legions is worth $0.00, my beta Icy Manipulator is worth $0.50, my Arabian Nights City of Brass is worth $3.91 and my Beta Sol Ring is worth $7.97, same as my Revised Sol Ring.

Also, when I sort by Date Added it only shows the Date Added of the first entry. All entries after the first show a blank Date Added.

That said, the promo prices is a nice addition. Thanks smile

Currently it can't be done but I think it'd be nice if it could be..

Right now if you click "Show Value" it shows you the value of your entire collection and ignores any filters you might have in place. I think it'd be nice if it showed only the value of those cards that the filter is showing. It also still says prices are from tcgplayer.com when in fact they're not. Quoting the text that comes up when you click "Show Value"...

Total value of cards in this set: $1,364.20 (using the average price on tcgplayer.com)

Seems like that ought to be changed too.

It'd also be nice if it told you how many cards there were after the filter was applied. Right now it tells you how many cards you have without the filter - not with it. You can kinda extrapolate how many cards you have based on the number of pages but it'd be nice if it just told you outright.

Finally, the "Is Foil Equals False" filter doesn't seem to work. It doesn't just exclude foils - it only includes promo cards and autograph cards.

What about http://classic.magictraders.com/pricelists/ ?

Although that said the last update for that was in October of last year..

When viewing all users for a certain geographic area it'd be cool if you could sort by parameters like "total value of inventory" or "total cards in inventory".

Doing something like this wouldn't be very efficient:

SELECT username, totalValue
FROM (
    SELECT username, SUM(value) AS totalValue
    FROM users
    JOIN cards ON cards.user_id = users.user_id
    WHERE location = 'Texas, USA'
    GROUP BY username
)
ORDER BY totalValue

But maybe there could be a total value column and a total cards column in the users table. The total cards column would be updated every time a card was added or removed and the total value column could be updated every time someone clicked the "Show Value" button on a particular inventory.

I don't know much about the tcgplayer.com API (which I assume is what deckbox.org uses) but I have some promo cards that I'd like to add to my DB. eg.

http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/magic_sin … ru%20Lands
http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/magic_sin … se%20Cards

Right now you can kinda denote a promo by hitting the promo button but it seems like there could be more refinement above and beyond that. Whether or not the tcgplayer.com API supports promos is one thing but tcgplayer.com certainly has them listed on their website..

It'd be nice if you could create multiple groups for cards in your Inventory.

For example, with groups, I'd probably have one called "Money cards", "Junk rares", "Slivers", "Foils", "Bob's cards", etc.

Maybe these "groups" could operate similarly to tags in gmail idk. I just want to be able to compartmentalize my collection.

Thanks!

I'm having this same issue:

http://deckbox.org/sets/595285?o=d&p=2&s=b

Here's a sample of the sorting:

7th edition
5th edition
MTG 2014
4th edition
7th edition
revised
MTG 2014
...etc...

Seems to me that all the 7th edition cards ought to be grouped together along with all the MTG 2014 cards, etc.
