If you've not already done so, read the sticky post at the top of this forum.
This is an oft-requested feature. I'm sure Sebi has it on his radar, but we don't have any ETA on its introduction.
I'd prefer to have them show up once received. I would, however, like the pending flag, or an incoming/outgoing column (an option we could turn on).
Thanks!
I didn't have time to review your inventory, so I don't know what other cards you have. Elpablo's advice is good: avoid running a wide selection of one-of cards (one of this, one of that). Imagine what your ideal round would look like. What would you play on Turn 1? Turn 2? Turn 3? Build around those cards. Try to run four of each of those T1, T2, and T3 cards. From there, add some others to give you some flexibility, or to support the rest of your build. What would support it? It depends on what playing style you prefer. If you want to be aggressive, focus on creatures that give you an advantage on getting damage through: flying, unblockable, fear, intimidate, trample, etc. If you want to slow your opponent down for a few turns while you come on mid-game, play defenders and walls. It's up to you.
Come up with a statement about your deck that focuses on how it is going to win. For a Goblin deck of mine, the focus is to rapidly overwhelm my opponents by swinging on T1 and dealing loads of damage each and every turn until my opponent is dead (typically on T3 or T4). For a Merfolk deck, the focus is to get damage through using unblockable creatures (e.g., Triton Shorestalker) and other evasion effects (things that make my creatures fly, or make an opponent's land an Island) while I put Merfolk lords on the board (each giving my Merfolk +1/+1). I have another black/blue deck that is designed to force my opponents to run out of cards (by "milling" them--making them discard cards from their libraries). Knowing how you want to win will help you add focus to your deck.
I think this is a good idea for the most part. I list conditions on all my cards except for majority of commons. I have several tens of thousands of commons for sale at $0.05 each. If I were required to list accurate conditions for each of these, I would probably be forced to just take them off the market.
I'll buy commons (when needed) IF I can be sure of the condition (M/NM). With 21K+ cards of my own, I realize that putting condition information on each one can be a chore.
Hmm, that is an interesting idea... let's see what others think, I'll also think about this.
I also plan on making it easier to set properties of cards (will try how it looks & feels to make it so that the edition is directly setable inline when looking at your listing, & not requiring to topen the details panel).
Thank you! Anything youn can do to allow for inline edits rather than the details panel is appreciated by this user.
Any chance of adding a column to show our inventory as it pertains to the decklists (to see if we have the cards needed to build those decks)?
Would it be too much of a stretch to require sellers to list the grade of all cards offered for sale? In other words, that th card could not be offered for sale if it does not have complete information (e.g., condition, set).
It seems to me that the condition of a card isn't something that should wait until after items are in a cart. I was ready to make an impulse buy today, but am now waiting for the seller to get back to town to look at the cards, as I'm only interested in cards of specific conditions or better.
[Note: I have nothing against the seller in question. I just believe requiring complete card information will make this a better marketplace.]
That's okay. Not everything is intuitive around here, but it's getting better all the time.
This issue is now fixed.
Thanks, Sebi! Adding cards today was so much easier!
Looking for a foil Brainstorm (conspiracy)?
Fixed modern event deck pricing issues.
Thanks!
Not to hijack your thread, but I believe it would be beneficial to give users control over settings that could have multiple options, like the one you describe.
Thanks for reporting, will be looking at the modern event decks prices today.
We also definitely plan to handle price manipulation. In the beginning we will just blacklist users that are way off the market price on various cards, so they do not count in general for price calculation purposes.
There might be a legitimate reason for some otherwise inexpensive cards to have high prices (e.g., misprints, alters, autographed cards). For future development, consider a special flag/field for such cards. That would allow people to search for those "special" cards, if desired, but would also allow them to be excluded from median (preferred) or average calculations.
Is there anyway to be able to search based on what color the land makes? I'd love to be able to search for all my lands that make blue and white mana.

I posted the issue in the pricing issues sticky topic yesterday.
I thought the printable deck list used to categorize cards by type. Whether or not it did before, would it be possible to modify it so as to include that type sorting (like the way they appear in the deck builder tool)?
In the tools menu, view the printable list. From there, you can copy and paste it.
You will need to massage the list a bit, if you want to group some of the spells in order.
I'm opening a feature request to see that printable form categorize them for us.
I think you should move the 4x Brain Maggot from the board into the main deck, cutting the Grim Guardians, and cut the Sinister Pocessions for some combination of Banishing Light and something else for removal or tempo, maybe Oppressive Rays. Brain Maggot helps you on tempo until you can get your engine going. I would also suggest Doomwake Giant. Brian Braun-Duin has had reasonable success with his Constellation deck in Junk colors using Doomwake to clear the board and bash Elspeth.
What about Immortal Servitude in the side board for Verdict decks? You have a lot of 2-drop creatures that you could return for 5 mana.
Also, is the red splash really doing anything for you? Mogis is pretty cool, but it seems like you're not getting much for the clunky mana. If you keep red, what about a Tymaret, the Murder King engine with Athreos? It's probably too cute, but would be awesome if you get it going.
I had the Brain Maggots in, but they were being removed too often, so I opted to sideboard them.
I missed Oppressive Rays completely. It is superior to Sinister Possession if I want to slow them down.
I like the Doomwake Giant, but don't like adding more to the top end of my mana curve. I'll give it some thought.
I did consider Immortal Servitude, but in the early stages of testing it was on the periphery of my thinking. How many would you run, and what would you swap out to pull them in?
As to the red splash, I've not had Mogis on the board in every game, but when he is there, he makes a huge impact. One of the reasons he is there is because the initial build had two Iroas to support the aggro shell. I'll think of dropping him. Perhaps Obzedat, Ghost Council in place of Mogis?
A long-standing request has been to restore the ability to let us sort by any of the quantity columns in the database. Once we can do that again, it will be fairly simple to see, though there has been no distinct feature to print a needs list.
I export to a spreadsheet, filter as needed, and print from there.
While the deck is in the browser window, just copy the URL and use it for a link.
I like the 1/1 unblockable Triton Shorestalker. Early pressure is always nice, and it puts them on a fast clock once the lords are on the field.
