Hi, all.  I'm Paul and I've been playing since Fallen Empires/Revised.  Most of the time I've been trying to spend little money beyond postage for trading, so I'm missing some of the higher value cards.  For a while I was trying to get one of each card by name (regardless of set), and at one time I was about 20 cards short of completing my goal.  I haven't really kept up with sets since Avacyn Restored, so there is currently a lot that I'm looking for.  My aim in collecting has generally been focused on having the cards to play with, so condition isn't a huge deal for me.  My most recent milestone was finishing Legends about six months ago.

Thanks for getting this feature rolled out.

Clicking on the "Edit" drop-down doesn't do anything for me.  I tried both Firefox and Chrome.  Are other people able to set the edition?

I certainly agree that there should be some indication on line for deck lists that show whether the card is foil or not.

I also completely agree that on page displaying the details for a card, it would be a huge improvement to link the inventory and 'in your decks' sections.  Often if I'm going to a page for a card, I am trying to figure out if I have enough foil copies for all of my built decks or if I'm still short.  Being able to see the details not just from the deck list, but from the card detail pages would be a huge help for how I use the site.

This is a feature that would get me back to being a premium member.

It would be great if folders could be used for more features.  If a folder could aggregate the cards contained in the decks within it, you could do things like set folder-level settings for whether you are sharing cards between decks, and see things like how many of each card is used within a folder.  An example would be that I have a hierarchy of:

Tournament Decks folder
  Legacy folder
    deck 1
    deck 2
  Modern folder
    deck 3
    deck 4

Then for the Modern and Legacy folders I could set the option to not share cards between decks, but within Tournament Decks I could say to share cards between decks.  This would effectively make sure that I had enough copies of each card for all Modern decks or all Legacy decks, but I'm not going to be playing Legacy and Modern at the same time, so I'm OK with sharing cards between formats.  This would also provide a nice way to view the list of all cards in my Modern decks by selecting the Modern folder, or all cards in tournament decks by selecting the "Tournament Decks" folder.

I have a variety of English Portal 3 Kingdoms cards from a partial set that I'm taking apart.  Everything is in English and in NM condition.

The biggest value cards are Riding the Dilu Horse and Rolling Earthquake.  I have most commons and uncommons, which are great if you're looking for one more of an effect for Commander, such as Three Visits.  Open a trade if there's something that you're interested in.

I'm looking for some different foils and to change up a few decks.  Some of the foils that I have to trade are:

Cavern of Souls (MM17)
Dark Ritual (invocation)
Kitchen Finks
Krosan Verge
Oracle of Mul Daya
Rings of Brighthearth (invention)
Show and Tell (judge)
Worship

I'd love to trade for a variety of foils, including all of the Return to Ravnica/Gatecrash shock lands and Khans fetches.

For the foil Cavern of Souls, I'm looking for two regular Cavern of Souls + some value.

Open a trade if there's something that you're interested in.

If you use PayPal's multi-order shipping tool, it will fill in the zip +4 designation automatically as well as give you tracking:

https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_bulk-ship

If your trade is more than $20, it's the way to go -- just $2.61 for up to three ounces of cards.

Thanks for the addition of the 1996 decks.  Technically they are 1996 Pro Tour: New York decks instead of World Championship decks, but either way it's the proper deck lists and it will be great to be able to add them to my inventory.

You should check out the list of trading rules:

https://deckbox.org/help/trade_rules

and trade guidelines:

https://deckbox.org/help/trade_guidelines

Specifically it mentions:

2.2. Sending cards. The sender is responsible for getting the cards to the destination. He will be held accountable for items lost in the mail if a form of tracking was not used; proof of sending is not sufficient. Tracking should show the package delivered to the proper address.
If you as a sender do not have proof of delivery (or the package was wrongly addressed), resend your part of the deal, make monetary restitution or return the cards you received. Resending cards should always use a form of tracking, to avoid further disputes.
Failure to honor your part of the deal without reimbursement is sanctioned by being marked as a scammer, and your trade partner will file for mail fraud.
Additionally, in case of lost mail, the sender must open a formal case with the postal service (for USPS you can do so by calling 800-ask-usps) and provide a case number to the receiver (and to site administrators, if a dispute is open).

In this case you need to talk to your trade partner to figure out what to do.  You could sent back the cards that you got, you could send the cards that you have and some others to make up for the ones that you don't have, or whatever arrangement you can agree to.  In the end though, it's your responsibility until your side of the trade is delivered.

Sebi,

Did you see this announcement from TCGPlayer:

http://store.tcgplayer.com/help/buyoutresponse

It looks like they are trying to be more open to others using the pricing data from TCGPlayer.  I would love to see a move back to TCG pricing if it is possible.  I think that their market pricing looks like a great idea.

I'm working on a Commander deck based on Riku of Two Relections (so URG) that I'm trying to build with a strong theme around mirrors and reflections.  Here are the cards that I've found so far:

https://deckbox.org/sets/1408511

Once I have all of the mirror and reflection themed cards I'll work on building a deck that might actually work and fill in with non-themed cards.  Does anyone have suggestions?  I'm especially looking for cards that might fit due to the art but might not be obvious due to the name.

It would be great to have an option for complete sets that is analogous to the "Built Decks" option.  I would like to be able to mark each set with a number so that I can show how many of that set I have (or would like to have) completed.  My crude work-around is to make each set a separate deck, include them within a folder named 'Sets' that I can keep unexpanded, and then mark each set as a built deck.

Agreement with <djhp>.

When sorting through a collection, separating by color, it'd be a simpler to add a 'multi-color' choice to the color filter.

Adding more than one color to the color filter advanced search just adds mono-colored cards to the list. It is a bit of a nuisance.

What would be ideal is to generate a list of ONLY multi-colored cards, including those with dual mana costs.

Just bumping this again as I'm dealing with this problem now.

My use case is that it's easy to pull up the full card database, filter by color, sort it to match my sorting method, and then I just have to scroll through the list to easily enter all of the cards in my collection.  This is possible with every portion of my collection except for the multi-color section.

Can you add back in the 'Price' column for the full card database?  The 'Min Price' isn't enough.

Ah sorry, that was not supposed to be missing.
