I got #103 from https://deckbox.org/mtg/Death%20Spark?printing=6004
i have just started cataloging cards my son gave me years ago.

ah, you found a cool "bug" (sorta). 

Alliances had multiple art variations for some cards.  If you look here you can see that there are multiple ver. of some set numbers, usually with an a, b, etc. In newer sets that have this kind of variation, Deckbox uses a note:
https://jmp.sh/ztmN6loC+/Screen+Shot+2022-12-19+at+1.04.23+PM.png

On Alliances, it doesn't appear this technique is in use, so it shows all the numbers ignoring that many of them should be the same number, just variants:
https://jmp.sh/Kdxk0uRu+/Screen+Shot+2022-12-19+at+1.07.00+PM.png

If you removed all the variants the set numbers would be correct again.

You can report this as a "Something's Wrong" in the help menu, and link to this discussion for further explanation in your ticket.

Good catch!

Agreed, I should have finished this feature years ago already. Happy to report I am currently actively working on implementing it though.

That's great to hear, Sebi!

There are definitely a number of users, like myself, who are excited to hear this is in the pipeline.

Please let us know if you need any Beta Testers or feedback on this functionality.

@Sebi - Post on Reddit this week, specifically calling out potential users are not choosing Deckbox over other options because this feature is missing. https://www.reddit.com/r/mtgfinance/com … tion_tool/

- Multiple people on that post saying this is a feature they need and are turning elsewhere for
- People on this thread are talking about migrating from Deckbox because it is missing
- The Deckbox supporters are saying there are workarounds, but those are not intuitive

I highly recommend, we as a site really push this feature and the organization capabilities of this platform as this is the way to get the most people engaged in the parts of the communities that are making money for the site; premium features and singles sales.

Everywhere I'm seeing the number should be #70 ( https://scryfall.com/card/cst/70/death-spark).  That also aligns in the numbering structure when you look at the whole set: https://scryfall.com/sets/cst

Why are you thinking it should be 103?

You may be correct.  And they have not been online in over a year.  I'll see if I can work with Sebi to claim it, and reassign some mods.  Otherwise, I'll try setting up a new one.

Cheers,

Applied awhile ago and still awaiting approval.

Would love to revive this group and start a regular set post where people can match up to trade set-specific wants/needs with the goal of helping each other complete sets.

Just had a few big trades from members here but there's no activity if no one is even getting approved for membership in the community.

Thanks, Sebi! We are still waiting for the BRO List additions: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/featu … others-war can we get these added?

I've asked for before, and would still very much support the ability to permanently tag cards in your collection and also set a home/storage location for cards. Right now I have many "decks" that are effectively binders or other storage locations. It would be awesome if instead we could seperated cards storage locations from their use in decks. It would also be great if then when you build decks you could move specific copies and know their location in the deck, trade or whatever.

I think the big issue is that individual cards don't really exist in the directory. Only a list of cards associated with the user. So this would probably be a dramatic change to the directory infrastructure. I'd definitely support it though if implemented!

In Decklists when a specific card is set for a card, the sort by set functionality does not pay attention to what is actually set in that decklist and instead organizes by another default.

For instance:

https://jmp.sh/pxEqYP8s+/Screen+Shot+2022-11-23+at+11.07.55+AM.png

shows a deck with many cards set for exactly which version I have in the deck.

However this is what I see when I sort by edition:

https://jmp.sh/rYmGoTTG+/Screen+Shot+2022-11-23+at+11.09.28+AM.png

you can see these cards which should be grouped together are not.

It would be very helpful when deck building and working with larger collections that these are grouped together correctly.

Having the sets correctly organized leads to other benefits, like being able to enable set sorting in other places like trades:

In a larger trade like this, being able to group the things I need to pull by set would mean a cleaner process for getting everything pulled out:

Thanks Sebi. Will you be adding the additions to the list as well?

Hey all,

I'm looking for big set collectors who have lots of random jank and are looking to trade for the same.

If, like me you are picking up a few boxes to crack and then trading to complete sets, we should collaborate.  GEt those lists up quickly and try to help each other complete everything.

Here's a recent post I put up looking to trade Unfinity for completion:
https://deckbox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=31832

I'm also not looking for foils (except some specialty ones) so any foil collectors out there I might have a bunch to trade you for your non-foil stuff!

Hey all, I'm looking for set traders.  I have everything that's not in a set listed for a trade down to jank.

I recently requested to be on the Set Collectors trading post board.

Let's jump in:

I just recently opened a bunch of infinity and posted my Haves Wants here:
https://deckbox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=31832

Does anyone want to help get that set completed?

I'm trying to complete my Unfinity set, and have dupes I'm willing to trade with anyone else who's looking for the cards from that set:

My Haves:
https://deckbox.org/sets/1462936?f=c370 … =i&o=d

My Wants:
https://deckbox.org/sets/1462937?f=c370 … =i&o=d

Happy to go as big on this as you want - just let me know.

Cheers!

Sebi - does the in other trades appear just on the user's "haves" side or on both?  I understand the value of knowing which cards are being asked for in other trades, but I'd like the same information on the wants side. Sometimes a trade is started with a group of wants, but then another trade fills some of those, and without diligently going back to the opportunities page and seeing that some items are on the want side of the trade but not needed, I've ended up with duplicates of cards I only wanted one of.

Another way to display this would be some sort of indicator if a card on the want side of the trade matched something on the want list.

Thanks!

I'm looking to complete my a 2X2 Set, so I'm only looking to trade 2X2 ( https://deckbox.org/sets/1462936?f=c3680 for 2x2 wants (https://deckbox.org/sets/1462937?f=c3680. I will also happily trade other cards on my haves (not 2X2) for 2X2 cards I want.

I'm also willing to give you some trade advantage here, for instance:

- If you want a specific foil and I need the non-foil, I'll probably give you some amount of trade advantage in your favor for the swap.
- If you want a 2X2 card from me and can trade using cards from other sets with someone else to get a 2X2 card I need, I'm cool with holding the 2X2 card you want while you have an active trade going to get my wanted card.

I have quite a few of your wants.  Here's my haves for the set:
https://deckbox.org/sets/1462936?f=c3680

Foils only:
https://deckbox.org/sets/1462936?f=d4MQ**!c3680

I'm looking to complete a non-foiled ver. set so I have a bunch of mostly non-foil wants:
https://deckbox.org/sets/1462937?f=c3680

I'm only looking to trade 2X2 for 2X2 but absolutely willing to go non-foils for foils.

Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks so much, Sebi!  Are you able to also add the pre-release cards from SNC?

ninja edit: it looks like the new Promo pack cards for SNC are missing too.

I've been using Deckbox exclusively for my Collection/deckbuilding needs since 2016.  Generally speaking, it's a very powerful tool, and the site and the trading community are fantastic. This is why I constantly refer people to join.  I am a premium account user, and am happy to pay for additional features, especially those that occasional users wouldn't care about.

I'd love to get community feedback on some recommendations/ideas I have for improving collection management and card management for those who are managing their entire collection on Deckbox.

1. Provide "Locations" not just Decks.  I currently have a deck representing every collection binder (one for each set, trade, premium/special, The List, etc), and technically everything not in those places has a permanent home in large organizer boxes. Below that, I have temporary collections (cube, battlebox, EDH Toolbox, etc) and built decks. I would love to have a storage home for cards and be able to temporarily move it to a temporary collection or deck location, then know where to move it back to when the deck is deleted. An interesting addition to locations vs. decks could be customisable dividers.  So where we have Maindeck/Sideboard/Scratchpad - we could have Box 001, Box 002, Green Binder, whatever makes sense in your collection storage process.

2. With or without locations, I would love to be able to move cards from one deck to another from the card screen.  For instance, if I'm looking at Wheel of Fortune, and I see it's in the Premium Binder deck and I want to move it to the Cube, it would be great to just be able to click on the current location details at the bottom left of the card page and move one or more copies from the one location to the next. In this example, it would be removed from the Premium Binder and added to the Cube. Right now I have to make changes in both locations.  If something like Locations was implemented, the home location would be stored during the move from deck to deck and shown differently - preferably that it is not currently in the home location.  This same technique would be awesome for things like lending cards to friends - make a borrow location and move from home to the borrowed list.  Now it's not available in your collection, but you know where it is.

3. A small log of moves and activities for any given card would be great.  Again, I could see this being a premium feature and only have so many moves available, but knowing that a card was in the cube > moved to Deck A (deleted) > returned to binder would be very helpful when trying to track down a missing card. 

I'm not sure how many other people would use any of these features, but for me, they would be incredibly useful.

Hi Mikes,

Think of Collection as everything you physically have.  Then you can break that down into Tradelists, Binders, Decks, whatever.  What you want to do is add all of your cards.  Tag the ones available for trade, and maybe even make a Deck of your physical Tradebinder (if that's different than all of the cards you have for trade).  Then when you trade something you should be able to remove it from your inventory and binder if relevant.

Pricing, especially for Alternative ARt printings seems to be substantially off from the Market.

A few quick examples:

Grab a Foil Space Godzilla - Death Corona for $1.17 ( https://deckbox.org/mtg/Void%20Beckoner … mp;lang=us ) or on TCG for $33.60 (https://shop.tcgplayer.com/magic/ikoria … d-beckoner)

Or Vivien, Moster Advocate - Borderless for $9.36. That's cheaper than the non-borderless pack printing. ( https://deckbox.org/mtg/Vivien%2C%20Mon … omqs=true) On TCG it's almost 30% more for the extended art printing (https://www.tcgplayer.com/search/magic/ … 20Advocate)

In fact many of the Comic-Art Monsters appear to be cheaper on Deckbox than the original printing:
Dirge Bat - https://deckbox.org/mtg/Dirge%20Bat?printing=49914
Brokkos - https://deckbox.org/mtg/Brokkos%2C%20Ap … ting=49924
Snapdax - https://deckbox.org/mtg/Snapdax%2C%20Ap … ting=49931

Where those same cards get a premium on other platforms:
Dirge Bat - https://www.tcgplayer.com/search/magic/ … irge%20Bat
Bokkos - https://www.tcgplayer.com/search/magic/ … %20Forever
Snapdax - https://www.tcgplayer.com/search/magic/ … the%20Hunt

Can you please check and see if there is something configured incorrectly, or if your data source has an issue as these prices make it very time consuming to do a trade when they are so far off.

Hello,

You can now import collections exported from EchoMtg, there is a new tab in the "Add Cards" widget in inventories.

There are some cards that they represent quite differently than us, mostly cards with multiple printings in the same set, that cannot be imported. The importer will report what those cards are, and provide a clean csv with the ones that we can import, and another one with the list of cards that have to be manually imported.

Let me know if it all works well. You can send any csv files that don't work properly to support@deckbox.org, I will test them out.

This is great! one of the big benefits of that platform is the ability to track buy price and sell price for your collection.  That is the only reason I'm paying for both.  I'd be happy to pay additionally for that functionality here.

Any chance you could add it as an add-on or premium feature (and allow us to import that data)?

Not crazy about the fact that it takes into account supplemental products like planeswalker decks, etc.  I find it a little misleading since I have collected every set since M15 but this tool shows I am short cards for each set due to inclusion of the supplemental products.  That being said, should those supplemental products really be considered part of the set?  I can see reasons for including/excluding on both sides of the fence.  I wish wizards would have just kept them completely separate.  I mean, they should know  they are messing with OCD Magic collectors ability to track their collection as they wish.  C'mon Man!

This!  I really dislike how both Wizards and Deckbox handle this. The complete set should be counted for the cards included in that editions boosters and included in the set numbering.  If you get a set redemption this is what you get.  Everything else could be included either in Supplemental sets - by product name (Intro pack, Planeswalker Deck Name, etc.)

This is especially frustrating when using the add one want of each set, add one of each set function!

No I do not want to add one of each of the planeswalker and intro deck cards... Please make this optional or seperate it off completely!
