The full card image gallery is up for Commander 2014. When are these cards getting imported? Thank you.
Normally we import them when they are on gatherer. (Otherwise we have to manually input all card data which takes a very very long time.) I will take a look for other sources if gatherer is not updated today.
By that error message it looks like the field separators in your CSV are actually ";" instead of a comma. Is there an option in Numbers to tell it which field separator to use?
I marked my http://mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/World … ship_Decks
as Promo, but what should I mark them now?
I really want to import the World Championship Deck cards, it's just that I cannot find a good source for card images for them. I suppose I can import them with no image for now, just so people can mark them...
You do have a point, Proposal right now is not seen as 100% committal. Hmm...
Hi Sebi,
I think this is largely a great move - thanks for all the continual improvements! I would like to make a suggestion, though. I occasionally use the promo flag as an indicator that there is something different about the card. Maybe it's a condition issue that I would want to explain if it goes in a trade, or maybe it means I left the card somewhere and may not get it back - who knows? The point is, it might be useful to have a catch-all generic flag that people can use however they want (and filter on it, too). Thanks!
We'll have an editable notes field for that, where you can type whatever you'd like about the card 
.
Rather "A lot" instead of alot. Because alot is this guy http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_D_Z-D2tzi14/S … 0/ALOT.png
True, I like this alot.
How about we just put the address selector there when the trade is editable, and you have to select your address before proposing, the other party has to select the address before accepting?
I mean, it was easy enough to remedy, but you really should ask (or at least give a warning, and the option to export a collection as-is in case someone wants to keep a copy with the promo tags intact, for whatever reason) before you go mucking about with people's inventories like that.
I can provide you with an export of your inventory as of yesterday morning if you wish. Send an email to support@deckbox.org please in case you want it.
I don't see a way to mark textless basic lands as such (no textless edition)...
Which edition are the lands from? If zendikar, you can mark them as being from zendikar, there are even separate printings there, mouse over the image icon to see if the land images matches the one you wish to import.
Now, I've got the arduous task of going through all my "cards from weird-ass editions" (since they're not currently considered "promo" cards) and re-enabling the "promo" flag for all of them if I want my promo cards to actually say "promo." Since, you know, they are.
Please do not re-mark your cards as promo as the flag will be removed in the future, as posted in the announcement.
Searching for all promo cards is indeed a valid suggestion, I will add a filter for that that searches in all promo editions.
Added Promo Xathrid Necromancer.
Added Promo Xathrid Necromancer.
Promo & Textless
The Promo and Textless flags are now deprecated, and will be removed in a later release. They are not necessary anymore as we have imported all the promo and extras editions, so you can select the correct card edition for these now. This has the benefit of then showing correct pricing information and correct images for that specific promo.
There is now a warning displayed on your homepage if you have any cards in your inventory marked with the promo or textless flags, and a link to a filter that will help you remove the flags and set the correct edition.
If you had cards flagged as promo and they had an unambiguous single promo edition they were printed in, we have set this edition automatically, so you do not have to do anything. Inventory values might sometimes go up because of this, since promo prices are higher than older edition prices.
New Flags
We have added new flags: Misprint, Altered Art and Artist Proof. This is only a first step, a future release will also introduce image attachments and a notes field so that you can describe what particular kind of misprint or altered art the card has.
Oversized Printings
Oversized cards were introduced as separate editions, which you can see and browse here:
https://deckbox.org/editions#oversized
If there is any printing missing, please let us know in the sticky thread in the Site Feedback forum.
Other Fixes
* Fixed some card pages with special characters that were redirecting away
* Added pagination links to the bottom of the spoiler view listing, they were mistakenly removed.
The promo flag is indeed confusing, and will be deprecated in a release today, and will be removed at a later date.
This is a bug, will fix.
Which is the user that is trying to take advantage of this? We do not allow such behavior.
Could you send us the file at support@deckbox.org ? We will take a look.
This is now fixed, thank you for reporting.
We do not do any automatic changing of the contents of a trade. If it is now 2, they must have been 2 when the trade was accepted.
If there were 4 and you only had 2 in your tradelist, the trade cannot be accepted, you get an error.
Also a point worth discussing is if you can tag a card as being in 2 decks at the same time... because in my mind that would not make sense. One of the decks has it actually in it, the other one does not... although it is listed in the decklist, the actual specific card is not there, so it should not be tagged I think.
With regard to deck tagging, I've been thinking of doing it in a way that was touched upon in this thread by you & Moxy & others.
In built decks we'd have some sort of smart way for each card to pick something from your inventory that can be used for it.
for ex, you have "2 Mountain" in your deck. You click somewhere and you see a list of all the exact mountains that you own in the inventory, and you can check which 2 of them are actually in this deck.
Afterwards, the 2 you have selected will be tagged as such in your inventory. They will have a #deck_234 tag on them.
Then can then have a button in inventory tools that says "Mark all cards that do not have some kind of #deck tag as tradable".
And we can still have saved searches in this scenario too, that filter a set by the presence of some tags and absence of others.
I've thought a lot about tagging lately (and deck tags), and about the new flags that are needed (artist proof, misprint, altered, signed). We also need notes (public and private) and images (for scans).
The more I think about this, the more I feel adding everything will make things confusing in the interface. Filters for tags, saved searches, flags, notes etc.
One way I thought we could simplify everything would be:
- have one field of public notes and one for private notes
- only have 2 flags: foil and modifed. Where modified means any of signed, altered, misprint, etc etc.
- otherwise all tagging and flagging can be done via hashtags in the notes field. E.g. "#misprint - miscut" or "#signed by artist at Worlds 2013"
Then users can flexibly tag and untag things without a complicated interface. I feel it would also be understandable, since everybody uses hashtags on social networks nowadays.
Private notes can also be used to tag things freely, like "#borrowed to mike. Otherwise belongs in #blue_box_basement".
What do you think?
I'm having issues with exporting my tradelist. Export inventory works fine, export tradelist only has the header row, no cards.
Fixed now.
Actually it might just be that the columns are not named the same way. I improved the error reporting a bit on our side, so after trying to import it now you should see which columns in the csv file we do not recognize.
I will take a look at the magic assistant format, perhaps it would be cool to just have a "Import Magic Assistant File" there in the menu.
