We'd really like to internationalize various sections of the website, but sadly it is a lengthy and slightly larger endeavor that we have to leave for a later time.

Re: Missing "Hachette Encyclopedia Inserts " edition (4 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
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 'French Pegasse'), 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.

Re: Type 4 (2 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
Hehe, this format looks pretty fun!
I dont' have too many tips to give, but if it were up to me I'd throw out all the very cheap creatures (unless they have a very powerful activated ability), put in the most outrageously expensive ones available, and then like IronGuardian says rotate the pool for a while. After playing a draft throw out 10% of them that felt uninpressive or not fun for the game and replace with things that seem better.
I would throw in all sweepers and counterspell type cards I can though, you really need answers for all those bombs . Also creature stealing, Insurrection type things. Edh lists could be good for inspiration, as that's also a format with many bombs and decks built to be fun and outrageous. The article on wizards I read about type 4 also has a few interesting suggestions: http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/a
aily/sf/49 .
Maybe some other guys who have tested the format can weigh in with some tips.
Whatever the case, I'd be very interested to hear some stories of how your first drafts turn out.

Topic: Deck Discussion Subforum Guidelines (1 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)
For a better experience in browsing these forums, please include small identifiers in the deck titles.
[Standard], [Extended], [Modern], [EDH] - the format in which you intend to play your deck.
[Opinions] - if you are looking for help or ideas with a deck you have built yourself.
[Discussion] - a thread dedicated to a longer discussion about a deck archetype (as opposed to a thread dedicated to a personal specific build)
[Guide] - if you have written a more detailed explanation of a deck or strategy, in a how-to format.

Topic: MtG: Dark Ascension, WoW: Dungeons, WH:I Karaz. Set completion view. (5 replies, posted in Announcements)
Database updates
A lot of new editions for all card games this January.
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 . 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!

Re: Dungeon Treasure Pack Cards (3 replies, posted in World of Warcraft)
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.

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.

Re: Can I Make multiple trade offers on a single card I own ? (2 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
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

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.

Re: MTG EDH Validation Logic? (3 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
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.
