So excited to see this big enhancement being rolled out Sebi.

Did a little testing and have some questions/thoughts:

1. If I'm understanding this correctly, the tag works on a specific instance of a card, but not specific cards - What I mean by that is if I have 3 copies of Lannowar Elves (M12, NM) and 1 Llanowar Elves (M12, LP) I can tag the LP copy or all 3 NM copies, but would not be able to tag just one of the NM copies.

One of the things I was looking forward to with this is using it to define where cards are located, so tagging my singletons from each set into that set binder, and the stuff in the Trade Binder as in that location.  If I have more than 1 printing of a card with all the same attributes that seems like it will not be possible here at this time, right?

Could it be possible, where, like in the deckbuilding area, you could split a line for a card that has multiple copies and tag only one or some? So the result of what I shared above would be I would have one copy of Llanowar Elves (M12, NM, M12 Binder), two copies of Lannowar Elves (M12, NM), and 1 Llanowar Elves (M12, LP)

2. Seeing Tags in other places - Do you plan to make tags visible in built decks, so I can see where they came from and where they go back to? Can we see it in trades? This would be especially helpful for those of us with multiple trade boxes. And in the Card Printing page, in the "In your decks" section it would be great if we could see and edit the tags.  This would sort the request I previously asked for of being able to move cards from one location to another from that screen.

Sebi, thanks for your transparency and for continuing to make a great platform here. Hopefully, the time you have to focus on the trading platform will allow you to release more premium features that will encourage regular users to step up for some expanded features and help fund your work on the platform.

Hey there,

I think putting together two limits that are similar but kind of contradictory:

Color - Exclusively one of colorless
Number of Colors - Equals 1

This sounds like is both colorless and also of a color (number equals 1)

Perhaps a better point of where this is weird:

Number of colors = 0 - 193 Results
Color = All of Colorless - 227 Results

I could not find consistency in why is one and not the other:
Argivian Avenger
Clown Extruder
Ent-Draught Basin

So while I don't have an answer, I think removing the stacked criteria might help diagnose

Thanks for reading my recommendation and your feedback Sightburner!

In This Thread I proposed a solution here that takes care of part of the issue you may be experiencing - as long as you mostly get trades from your wants list. This solution would cover you as it would flag the second trade your want was in after you accept the first, as the card would no longer be in your want list.

That said, per your feedback, another symbol (maybe just a = ) says this exact item is in another incoming trade. Then it would be on the trader to know if it's the multiple copies they want, or about to be copy 2 they didn't need...

   My pleasure, ZS! I love this site, so I'm all on board with offering what I can to make it better.
The other thread you posted does offer some solutions on the trade screen, but I'm more pointing toward the profile screen.
For example: I sign on, click 'Interesting cards for trade', and I get a list of cards from my wants list that were recently posted. So I click the profile of the user holding said card.
On their profile, it lists all cards on my wants list that the user has in their tradelist, as well as what I have that matches theirs (Image attached).
THIS is where I'd love to see the 'already in other trades' symbol, so I don't duplicate, double trade, or drive other traders crazy with having to adjust trades in progress because I inadvertently already got a card we were discussing.

Again, a lot of this could be avoided just with some extra care on my part, but this is a feature that would help me personally- I can't imagine I'm alone in this lol. Just a suggestion.

~S~

Got ya! And I love it.  The more data we all have in all the places the less frustration and honestly more trades we'll all get.  Thanks for the additional idea, I hope it's also considered!

Also the image you uploaded didn't work. The easiest way i found is to go to imgur or another service that will le tyou upload an image and give you a directlink URL - one that looks like:

www.website.com/imagename.png

Then paste that link here select the text and click the image button above in the tools.  it will end up looking like:

This is a little different from what ZombieSleeve is proposing, but falls under the same umbrella, so please forgive my not making a new thread.

I'd personally love to see the 'In other trades' tag when I'm looking at someone's profile (not just in the actual trade screen), and the list of 'haves' they have that correlate to my 'wants'. I've opened multiple trades for the same card before, and have on more than one occasion ended up with more copies of said card than I needed because I missed that it was on multiple trades.

Again, it's something that could be avoided with more diligence on my end, but I think it'd be a huge help.

When working on a trade with a partner and going back and forth to get the trade where both parties are happy, often small changes are done - removing a single card or swapping a printing/version.  In larger trades, this is almost impossible to detect what was changed.

After User A submits a trade, anything new or changed (Qty. / Set / Condition) is somehow highlighted if User B counters.  This state only needs to be visible until any change is applied by User A.  The system will have to combine multiple changes if User B makes separate proposed changes since the last time User A logged into the trade.

I don't know if it's feasible to do this with changes alone, but at a minimum, this seems feasible when changes are locked with a proposed trade offer.

When working through many trades simultaneously, someone will often propose trade items that were a want when they created the trade, but have since been accepted in another trade and are no longer needed.

I also occasionally have people propose, out of the blue, a card to trade that I do not have on my want list.

In both cases, I want to know that the item is not something I explicitly asked for, so I can more easily determine whether it should stay in the trade.  This is only really relevant before a trade is confirmed, as in many cases after it's confirmed, the item should no longer be in the want list.

This could be implemented as easily as having the color block for the # in the incoming card row to be a different color similar to how it looks when none are available.  Instead of red, it could be yellow or orange (take caution this may not be needed)

The addition of "In other trades" has been a big help, especially when managing many trades simultaneously.

I propose an improvement for it, though, that would significantly reduce the time needed to click on and load the specific card page and then the [more info] button.

Here's an example from a recent trade.  These are not all the same type of in other trade - some are similar card n outbound trades, and some are in pending trades.  for each, I have to go to the card and click a button to see if it matters or not:
https://jmp.sh/EfA2UHff+/Screen+Shot+2023-08-18+at+12.07.07+PM.png

I propose that instead of a single Green <-> why not just use four different arrows:

Outgoing Accepted: <- Green.  This item has been removed from your trade list anyway, so if you see this in another trade, it's a different, available copy.

Incoming Accepted: -> Green.  This item is already coming to you, so you hopefully wanted two copies. Ideally, we would have another symbol or way of identifying if something is Actively in your Wishlist still.  It's perfectly fine to add stuff to a trade outside the wants list, but it would be great if we could see something marking if something in a trade is in our want list or not.

Outgoing Editable: <- Grey. 

Incoming Editable: -> Grey.

Hopefully, both of these are self-explanatory.  Knowing that a card I want in a trade is in another outgoing editable trade tells me I'm trading out a different copy than I'm looking for in this trade.  So there's no conflict.

It would be ideal if all four of these symbols opened the modal for the "In other trade" detail so it's easy to confirm which copy is going where.

Can we please get a way to sort trade lists and, importantly on trade pages themselves?

I have over 2k cards on my want list and 7k cards on my trade list.  When I'm putting in a trade, especially a large one, I want to be able to focus on specific cards available by my trading partners first.

Here's an example where this person has over 150 cards across 7 pages I need to browse through first before I even start putting together the trade:
https://jmp.sh/Js3kSJlY+/Screen+Shot+2023-08-18+at+11.34.45+AM.png

I would really like to be able to sort these by Set and Price at a minimum.  Optimally, I could also have advanced filters just like we do on our Inventory and Wants.  Additionally, I see really good use of the "In other trades icon" here so we do not have to add items to our trade to see if it's already in other trades.

Once a trade is initiated, and especially approved, we should be able to sort the data.  This especially important when pulling cards. I think it fair to assume that most people have their collections sorted by set, not all card alphabetically, so locking it to Alphabetically makes pulling cards incredibly difficult.

In this example, My trade partner and I had about 200 cards each from dozens of sets:
https://jmp.sh/cn2mi7Kx+/GIF+Recording+2023-08-18+at+11.49.12+AM.gif

Shout out to Cheesewiz for the epic trade!

The technique I am forced to use is to start at the top and do all of the cards from the first set I hit, then once all of that set is pulled, move to the next unpulled card and repeat.  This is exhausting work because you have to remember what sets were pulled, and when you're done, you have to order everything back alphabetically to figure out the one card you missed... Please, at a minimum, allow for sorting by Set.

When the new functionality for storing locations is added, sort by location, then sort by set or alpha would be ideal.  This would allow users to know which trade box/binder to go to and then where to find it in the location depending on how they sort their collection.

Thank you for all you do to improve this platform Sebi.  Your work on this site is greatly appreciated.

Hey all,

I am looking to complete as much of the set as possible while prices are still at a post-release dip.

Here are my wants:
https://deckbox.org/sets/1462937?f=c377 … =m&o=d

And my filtered haves:
https://deckbox.org/sets/1462936?f=c3775.772


Would love to get a big trade in to get this set complete.  Prefer to trade like for like values where possible (mainly avoiding one $30 card for 60 $0.50 ones...)
Of course, I'm happy to trade from the rest of my binder for stuff as well.

I also started my trade stock with just cards I had collected over time - recently though, I started buying Collector's boxes - then I use any foils opened in there for trades for the non-foils from that set.  There's plenty of people looking for the hot new shiny, so this generally gets me better card return on my set wants then anything else.  I try to strike right after the sets are cracked as that's when the foil demand and price is highest.

Welcome to the group!

I've got quite a bit of the sets you listed - random odds and ends, so definitely let me know when you have all your wants listed for those and I can put stuff together with you.

Thanks for doing an introduction! I really appreciate it.

Looks like we have a bunch of stuff we could trade - I'm also happy to find more out of your tradelist to balance if there's more than what I have in wants.

Go ahead and start a trade with me of what you want, and I can match it up.

I welcome a try to revive this group.  Looking at the number of view for the posts, it looks like there is just going to be a small group of us for a while.  I'll go stick a link to the group in my profile as well.

I'm Paul and I've been collecting Magic since 1994, but starting as a poor college student meant that I never got any P9.  I'm going for a complete sets of all of the base versions (non-foil, non-showcase, etc.) of each set.  Right now I'm not getting any all-reprint sets like the Masters sets.  I have the major expansions from Legends to Theros Beyond Death complete, minus some of the base sets, beginner sets (missing Imperial Seal) and a few other cards.  I'm not great about posting my cards for trade, so I always have more to offer than my Tradelist says.  I'm hoping to finish up Unlimited (minus the P9), Arabian Nights (minus Bazaar) and Antiquities (minus Workshop) within the next couple years.

Hey Paul! Thanks for joining in. Would love to help you out with some of your standard set needs.  Feel free to check my wants and see if you have anything not listed in your haves.  Have lots of dupes from post-TBD that I'd be happy to bundle up for you.

Welcome, Michael ( https://deckbox.org/users/Samuel_Dread ) - Please make an introduction post if you feel like it.

Hey All,

I'm Chad - I'm based out of the US (Wisconsin) and also part-time in the Netherlands.

I've been playing Magic actively since 2016, but played in middle school from '94-96. I'm a victim of a garage sale mother though, so my whole collection from that time got snapped up for a few $ while I was in college!

I started a company in 2019 called Alter Sleeves and now work on M:tG stuff every day for work. You can check out our site at www.AlterSleeves.com

I mostly play Commander now and even stream regularly on Twitch.TV/MythicGamingTV

As for Set Completion, I'm finishing a complete singleton collection of all non-foil booster sets (inc. Master Sets) as well as all the non-reprint Commander cards from each Commander edition.  With the ever-growing number of variants in recent sets I've generally avoided the special foil-only sets unless they are cheap to trade for.

  • I've completed SOI - present, with only a few odds/ends for special printings

  • I'm now working backward, with a goal of stopping once I complete all modern frame sets

  • I'm also actively trying to get unique art promos, but they're not a high priority because some are just so expensive, so it's more of a trade filler

  • I've recently started picking up sets of Art Cards.  I plan to use these at events for signatures from artists

I'd love to make some big trades with you, especially that help us both hit big set completion goals.  Hit me up, especially after a new set drops to get a big trade for missing pieces!
