Is it possible to split up the Pending Trades section and place confirmed trades in their own section? I envision that any trade where you've exchanged addresses should be in its own section that is labelled Confirmed Trades. This would easily differentiate trades into ones that are still under negotiation from the ones where you're just waiting for cards to arrive. Then you could also put in some additional checks or tasks that would make it harder to cancel a trade where addresses have been exchanged.

Topic: Is Foil equals False filter doesn't work (0 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
Adding the filter criteria of "Is Foil" equals False yields no results when I run it against my Tradelist or Wishlist. If I run it against my inventory then the only card that I get back is a card that is marked as being signed. Values of both Indifferent and True work fine with the filter.

Re: Release 3.0: Deckbox Market (92 replies, posted in Announcements)
The above request is just like sellers on TCGPlayer that offer super saver shipping, where buyers get free shipping above $25. Adding a configurable dollar threshhold for free shipping might be nice, but a set value makes it much easier for buyers to know when the free shipping option will kick in.

It looks like the pricing is moving in a great direction.
I know it's only a mock-up, but if you go live, can you please not mix red and green on the same chart? It's hard for those of us with red/green colorblindness.

I finally figured it out. I spent 15 minutes looking, and then figured out within 2 minutes of posting. There's a new bar at the very bottom of Firefox that had an 'M' that I could click on to bring up the preferences.

Topic: Edition/Rarity column disappearing from decklists (0 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
When viewing a decklist, by default it will display the edition/rarity column. If I modify my wishlist by clicking on the yellow box to add a card, then the edition/rarity column disappears from the display. I can get the column back by reselecting the deck from my list of decks in the far left column.

I think I am just going to start doing tracking on all my trades, but to you people with 100 or 200+ trades who don't do tracking on all of them, how do you deal with this?
If your side never arrives then you find a way to make it up and send out again. You can run the calculation as to whether it is worth paying for DC on everything or if you'd rather use that money to replace cards when your side doesn't show up. Personally, I make that calculation based on the value of the trade in question.
Also, just because your side doesn't show up doesn't mean that the other person is dishonest. Mistakes happen and mail gets lost, damaged or mis-delivered, and sometimes you have to make up for it, even if it isn't your fault. Even if you pay for tracking you can still have your side not arrive or have the DC code not scanned as the item gets delivered. The only way to stay safe is to get insurance on everything in addition to DC, and that adds up even more than just DC.

Re: Minotaur Deck (4 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
I'd look at adding a few more land to the deck as well as Springleaf Drum. The Springleaf Drum is handy for speeding you up a bit, as well as for tapping your Felhide Spiritbinders, Kragma Butchers or Deathbellow Raiders (if you don't want it to attack with them).
I'll also second the suggestion for Dreadbore. Fall of the Hammer can also be handy for removal.

Re: Card Quality (2 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
This would be a huge improvement.
As far as card grading, please pick one grading scale and stick with it. Don't mix conditions from different grading scales. It should be one of:
M > NM > EX > VG > G > P
<or>
M > NM > EX > VF > F > P
<or>
M > NM > SP > LP > HP
For now, to work around the problem of mixed grading scale and not knowing what to use, I try to enter all of my cards with no grading. This means that if condition is important that it will be brought up in the trade.

Re: W: to get into modern/legacy... (3 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
If you want to get into Legacy you should at least start with a deck so that you can play against the various types of decks and get a feel for the format. Once you know the competition a bit more, it can help you pick a deck that you like. If you want help picking an established Legacy deck to play, then this chart is surprisingly useful:
http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/show … hart-guide
The Source has all sorts of great topics to help you learn the intricacies of the different decks.
If you're just interested in playing Legacy locally, then start with a deck idea that you like and slowly improve the deck as you can. I started playing Legacy with a non-traditional Goblin/Burn deck (ala Red Decks Wins):
http://deckbox.org/sets/242493
Once I got the deck to a point that I was happy with it, I started building other decks so that I would have some options as to what to play.
I think that the cheapest tier 1 deck in Legacy right now is probably Death and Taxes, though there are a number of tier 2 and tier 3 options that are considerably cheaper.

The alpha Demonic Attorney is worth a lot because someone is hoarding them. There are a few people that have picked a card and then try to get a significant percentage of the print run from alpha for that card. If it weren't for that it would probably be worth $10 to $15.
The Mana Crypt is worth a lot because of Commander.

Re: 15 gods (spoilers) (5 replies, posted in General Discussion)
In an article about Theros, Mark Rosewater wrote:
I laid out my plan. We would have fifteen gods. Five monocolored gods that would be the major gods and ten two-colored gods that would serve as the minor gods. The colors would help give each god an identity that would tie the pantheon of gods to Magic. The design team loved the idea so I took it to the creative team. Brady gave me the thumbs up and we were good to go.
For those now wondering, the five major gods are in Theros. The ten minor gods will show up in Born of the Gods and Journey Into Nyx. The creative team did a great job of figuring out the different facets of the Greek gods and mixing and matching them to create Theros's gods, which had both a feel of Greek mythology and Magic's color wheel. Remember that the gods are not straight-up duplicates of the Greek gods but rather different components stitched together as dictated by the color philosophies. Also, not every choice made was the most obvious one, as the creative team came up with some pretty cool new ideas for gods.
I think it is 99.9% locked in that the 10 upcoming gods will be multi-colored.
