For the products that have set decklists and which people are very likely to buy at once instead of card-by-card, I think it would be a useful feature to be able to quickly add every card in that set.

I second this one.  It would be great to have a quick-add.  As sets are relased, they can be added to a page or list that lets us select the name and click "Add".

Hey guys,

More of a cosmetic feature than anything else, but it would be nice for those of us that are collectors to browse and select alternate art for cards that have it. Example:

Urza's Mine - Chronicles
Urza's Mine - 5th Edition
Urza's Mine - 9th Edition

If when, we hover over a card, there was a mouse scroll wheel option or arrow option to select the desired art for cards in our deck lists or inventory, that would be splendid...

Or, in a similar vein, an advanced inventory feature that would let us designate the quantity per version/release of the card.  The card image would change based on the version selected (though on the main/non-advanced screen, only the most recent art would show).

great site, but got a question/request, could you include Token cards in Magic The Gathering? it would be really great smile

Some tokens are in there, but they are listed different ways (some just by the card title, others as "____ token card").  A lot are missing, though: for example, saproling, kithkin soldier are two I was just trying to enter.

Update - while helping my wife set up her account, we found our town.  It turns out that the city list is not populating fully every time, and not all cities are showing up in alphabetical order.  I went back to my account to set my city, and the first time I could not find the city.  I cycled through all of the listed cities using the keyboard (the first letter of the city name) until it looped back through the list--the city was not there.  After refreshing the page, it was the same.  I knew the city was there because I just set it on my wife's profile.  I refreshed the page again and voila!, it was there.

Something wonky in that menu code, I guess.

Under user profile settings, I'm wondering how the list of cities for a given state is populated.  I live in a rural community that is not listed, though I personally know that at least three deckbox.org members (myself included) reside in the same community.  Is there a way to get a community added to the list?

I selected the nearest listed community when I set up my profile (about 30 minutes away).  I'm just wondering if other members might also be in my area, though they might have selected a location that references the metropolitan area an hour from here.

As a new user, I just want to let you know how much I appreciate the online inventory and deck builder tools.  I've long wanted to get my inventory into a database, but was loathe to commit dollars to software that I could otherwise use on cards or other diversions.

I ran into a mention of deckbox.org in a thread about MTG inventory software, and, after reviewing all the referenced sites/products, decided to give deckbox.org a try.  Within the first couple of hours, I had nearly 1,000 cards entered, and had already passed the deckbox.org URL on to two of my sons who started entering their collections.  You're providing a great service!

Respectfully yours,

HikingStick
