Was the link removed/moved where you could view the front page of a person's profile? Currently the only way to jump back to person profile is "back' all the way to that page or find the find the link on post to get there to read the rules and see what cards are in common.

Many users try to take advantage of Deckbox's broken pricing. This is why I stopped trading.

Sebi obviously needs to fix the algorithm and/or the data sources. In the interim he (or some skilled volunteer) should write a tool that compares Deckbox prices to TCGMid and lists all the broken prices so Sebi can manually fix them.

Sebi, you can't rely on users to report each broken price because many will be motivated to not do so in order to take advantage. The  pricing issues thread doesn't cut it.

To be honest, It just makes more sense to double check prices in multiple places than to rely on one source. I have been cross checking between DB prices and all other sources since the begining so its pretty much second nature to me by now. If your using a Web Browser (opposed to a phone) I would give a Autocard Anywhere add on a chance. Pretty handy if for a quick look up.

Nothing wrong with posting it where it will get the most views. Many people still havent heard the news.

Depending I would look to start including insurance on anything you send with tracking. That way if does gets lost, your not SOL. Tracking with Insurance usually is only 5-6 bucks via Paypal Shipping and covers you with USPS. Obviously this would mean making your trades "worth" the added cost but honestly if you sending or recieving cards that are worth more than 30-50, 5-6 is a small price to pay to insure your not completely SOL.

Also I would suggest that if you dont think you can trust your box, to consider making trips to the PO. I pretty much do that for all trades to Canada so I can a receipt and make sure its not going to be sent back to me for wrong postage. Ive been very fortunate that my system as really resulted in at most 3 lost packages on my whole time with online trading in general.

Ive never once paid for that (honestly didnt know it was an option to) and whenever I go to the PO to drop off a PWE trade, I just ask that they stamp it with a "Do Not Bend" stamp. Apparently me writing it does no mean the same as them stamping it.

One time I did have to go to the PO and pay for postage to get them to actually give me the trade because the Stamp actually fell off the letter.

Id be interested in the foil Jace if a deal could be had.

Firgure it cant hurt to throw it out there, but I have a SP Spainish Rishadan Port Id like to try trade for toward an English Version. Condition doesnt really matter (within reason ofcourse) and obviously Id glady give value to make it worth the trade. Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks smile

I have a GTC Breeding Pool if your interested in finding the something else to get  to the Fulminator Mage.

Wow that looks great. Great job!

On thing tho, not sure if it's just me but when I get directed to the log on screen, it's kinda off center. Like the the word "deckbox" has x cut in half so I thought that it wasn't loading right.

when you click on your inventory and you look on the top of the page there is a link for "view". Click that and hit "Show Value". It will then give you deckbox market value of your collection at the top of the page.

Within the trade itself, on the top corner, there is a link for "Support/Dispute". Follow the prompts and it will send an auto message to the Deckbox staff and other user.

1. Alittle color couldnt hurt I suppose.
2. Adding foils can be done and the price is adjusted accordingly. When you go to Import -> Card and the "Name of the card to add" Box pops up, you add the card via the Auto-Populate. Then if you notice after it adds the card, there are few grayed out icons next to the next boxes that have the total number of cards that are for condition, language and Details. If drop down the menu for "details" (the gear) there are other features you can add to better describe the card such as foil, promo misprint etc. You can also look at you inventory list and there is another grayed out icon next to the price that allows you to make changes to the card as well instead of not add it.

3&5. Already possible. On a Deck that you are in, at the top right of the page, There is a link for "Edit". Open that up and you can add password to your deck. Alternatively you can also set your inventory to have a password by Clicking on the Inventory and on the top right under "Tools" you set the inventory to private. Your inventory and tradelist are seperate entities so unless everything you list in your inventory is for trade, You'll need to populate the tradelist so people can match what wants they have to what you have for trade.

4. Not sure what this would achieve as the feedback system already does this based on your successful trade score.
6. Not really sure what this means so I think I would need more information to elborate.

I dont think Dig is going to fall as hard as TC or Pod. Dig is still going to get played in Legacy so it still has some value. Just my 2 cents tho.

Called. It.

Ok I didnt think they would ban TC in legacy but Im not surprised.

Treasure Cruise will be the most defining card to determine what gets banned or unbanned.

While I wont argue that Deckbox pricing has its flaws, its basically created based off the same system of TCG, the main difference being overall size of the Market.

This has been happening to be for almost the past 6 months for things I send. For some reason it doesnt seem to effect things that poeple are sending to me but Ive had to let more than few people know that I did infact put the package in the mail and is no longer in my possession. Intially it really only effected things that I just sent with normal tracking and no insurance but the last few i sent to tracking and insurance (namely as a test but also cause it was higher valued trade) it did the same thing.

A friend of mine has a Zurgo deck that runs alot of the double damage things to help speed the game along. Im refering to things like Dictate of the Twin Gods, Furnace of Rath, and Gisela etc. This way your getting the most from your attacks (although YOU will be a target then lol)

Also I would run more things that protect Zurgo and maybe a few less weiny creatures. things like Swiftfoot boots and Lightning Greaves. The haste given by them doesnt matter since Zurgo already has it, but being untargetable it critical in a deck wants to win by punching face and given how my Jor kadeen deck plays, not having boots or greaves and just being shut down by a Maze of ith or getting swords or path'd to attacking SUUUUCKKKSSS.

Also Limited Resources is banned in Commander (and your a cruel indivdual for wanting to play it lol). But a good suggestion that I think would work better for you is Invasion Plans and/or Master Warcraft.

Id love them but honestly I think the current tri lands are best were going to get. If anything were more likely to get a  "Murmuring Bosk" Cycle.

I stand corrected then. I was refering to something I remember watching on one of SCG Versus Videos and after rewatching it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOWugAu … sdT4GatIq2 at about 8:00 minutes in) BBD refers to casting Sarkhan and immediately using is ability to get Sarkhan out of Stoke the Flame range. My apologies, I was remembering it differently.

It is my understanding that Planeswalkers are unique in that you maintain Priority throughout the resolution of the ability.

Example - You cast Sarkhan, The Dragonspeaker which resolves and priority is passed back to you from your opponent. You than maintain that priority (so long as you dont do anything inbetween) and activate his +1 which would make him 4/4 Indestructable, Haste, Flying Dragon. Your opponent would than gain priority to respond and cast Hero's Downfall and put it on the stack. Sarkhan's ability would then resolve making him indestructable and then cause Hero' Downfall to fail as Sarkhan cannot be destroyed.

Planeswalkers were created such that their abilities would resolve within the stack. Yes you can only activate the abilites at sorcery speed (ie so really only the main phase of your own turn) but upon resolution and activating a walkers ability maintains the priority to iits controller so that there is chance to actually use it. Another example is that upon announcing your going to activate a planeswalker ability, your opponent cant Lightning bolt a PW to a lower loyality to prevent it being used.
