Database updates

A lot of new editions for all card games this January. smile

Magic the Gathering players get the second expansion in the Innistrad block: Dark Ascension. Prices will start updating shortly.

World of Warcraft gets some new cards in the Class Starter decks and the Dungeon Decks. Thanks to Crimson for bringing it to our attention.

Warhammer Invasion players get the new Karaz a Karak set, and images for The Iron Rock cards. Big thanks to Entropy, kotuo and Crux for the all the data!


Wordpress plugin update

Our Wordpress Magic the Gathering tooltips plugin has been bumped to version 3.0.1. A new deck visualization mode is available - embed view. More details can be found on the plugin readme page.

A huge thank you to Tawnos for all the help!

Edition completion visualization tips

There has been some discussion on the Site Feedback forum about the need to see how many cards from a specific edition a user has (or is missing).

There is right now no nice way to set the inventory display to show this information, but perhaps until we do have that, you guys could use a workaround wink. If you go to the card database page, you will see inventory / tradelist and wishlist counts for all the cards. So if you want to see what is missing from M12 for example, you would filter it like this http://deckbox.org/games/mtg/cards?f=5396, and look at all the cards that have 0 set in the inventory column.

You can even click on the column header to sort by the inventory count, this way you will see the cards you have first, followed by the ones you do not have (or viceversa if you sort descending of course).

Then a quick way to adjust your wishlist for the cards you are missing would be to click the wishlist column, and quickly set the count to 1 (or 4) and press enter.

I hope this trick will temporarily help. As always, we're grateful for any feedback you might have, and encourage you to post it in the comment thread.


Happy deckbuilding!

Hello Crimson,

The ten heroes are already imported for a while now, we've posted about it in the announcements forum in november: http://deckbox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1261.

Do you have a link to the new cards in the Dungeon Treasure pack? I'll import them this weekend, I just need to find them in the OCR.

Thank you.

Hello,

Sorry for the issues, our VPS crashed for some reason and it rebooted uncleanly. These issues should not happen anymore. We'll discuss with our hosters, it seems to be some issue on their side.

Thanks for quickly reporting it.

Hello,

Sadly, due to the fact that the official wizards card database does not track them, it would be very hard for us to add them to deckbox.

Hey guys,

Images for The Iron Rock and the complete Karaz a Karak are now imported. Have fun deckbuilding.

A huge thank you to Entropy, kotuo and Crux for the data.

Yep, will try importing tomorrow evening.

Does anyone have a link to a text spoiler of Karaz-a-Karak?

Yep, the white phyrexian symbol was not correct. Fixed it now, it should work (if you still see it badly, Shift-refresh the page or clear the cache, the image sprite is cached).

Yep, in the absence of a clearly structured (and official) definition of these promo sets on Gatherer, it's pretty hard for us to incorporate information from third party websites, that needs verification, etc.

I am right now leaning in favor of suggesting custom tagging as a solution for this. After we will support custom tags for cards, we'll try to implement it in such a way that advanced collectors could just put a custom tag (e.g. named 'Portal Demogame Promo Set'), and that way other collectors that know what that is, can see the information easily, without that specific promo set existing as a separate edition on deckbox.

Hello,

Yes, you can have multiple trades being negotiated using the same card, but it is your responsibility to change other trades after accepting one of them. Much like you would do if you were talking with a couple of people in person about a card both of them want smile

Thanks for reporting.

I have merged them, now only one version exists: Fire // Ice.

Hello,

Yep, this is indeed long overdue, but we still want to do it. It will come big_smile

Yep, this is a valid suggestion, we'll add it to the todo list.

Nope, right now there are no checks for the banned cards.

Hello,

I'm definitely open to integrations with various programs.

What kind of synchronization support did you have in mind?

Hey phizeroth,

Thank you for your nice thoughts. We do not support donations right now, and I don't think I would be confortable with this option. That being said, there probably are other options for monetization that we shall consider at some point.

For now, we're glad to provide this service, we've done it with pleasure. smile

Hello inzeos,

The EDH validation is pretty dumb right now, it only checks that you have 100 cards. EDH in general needs a little bit of love, we'll have a look at better validation, displaying the general more prominently and other nice things in the near future.

Thanks for reporting. Unglued and Unhinged cards are no longer listed as legal in Vintage and Legacy.

Also a very good suggestion, and it would be a very cool feature if implemented correctly.

We will open a thread for discussing this in more details when we'll start implementing it.

This is something we also thought is necessary, and will probably be addressed with card tagging in the future.

Hey,

We're still keeping an eye on these issues, not sure what exactly was causing the hangups. We have pingdom monitoring too and I have reverted today some apache modules to older versions which I know to work. Load is normal right now, please report any other bad load times in the next week or so if you notice any.

This is a pretty cool idea, that we would like to implement.

Hello,

This has been discussed indeed, for the multi-line input. We'll have something implemented in the future.

Yes, this is something not possible with the current filter system.

I've tried in the beginning a couple of UIs allowing for this extended filtering, but they were all very clunky and bad. It's on the list though, we just have to find a nice way to implement it smile
