It would be nice if we could sort our wishlists/inventory by deck count. I've put together several decklists I'd like to play/build, and sorting by deck count would help me focus on acquiring playsets of the cards that will let me build the most decks.

Re: Chances of drawing specific cards in booster packs (3 replies, posted in Site Discussion)

I exclusively purchase sealed packs. If there is a way of knowing which set has the highest probability of yielding a specific card, that would help to complete collections faster while still ensuring a mint condition card.
I'm sure that the effort needed to implement this would be great, so I understand if it can't happen. I just thought it might be handy for collectors.
Booster packs are 1 rare/mythic rare, 3 uncommon, and 11 commons.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ma … ering_sets tells you how many rares/uncommons/commons are in each set.
Then it's simple math... if you're working on M12, which has 53 rares and 15 mythic rares, if you're looking for a specific rare/mythic rare each booster pack will have exactly a 1/68 chance of having the card you need.
Or if you're looking for an uncommon, each booster will have exactly 3/60 or 1/20 chance of having the uncommon you need.
Most people don't buy exclusively sealed, they will trade or buy singles to complete sets.

Re: Set/Edition completion (8 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
The ability to automatically add missing cards from a set to a wishlist would be beneficial as well. Right now I have to manually add the handful of cards I need to complete a set to my wishlist.

Yarp....
Played magic back in Middle/High School (4th edition/Ice Age -> Nemesis), then put all my cards into a box that went into storage for about 10 years... came across the box while moving, and hopped back into MTG with Innistrad.
Did my first FNM last week, and my local game shop has casual magic mondays, and I've been enjoying playing my old decks. (I'm a good bit older than most of the people that come, so many are playing against cards that have been excluded from standard since before they started playing) Having a lot of fun playing / tweaking my legacy WG lifegain deck (Spirit link + Serra Avatar = win)

Inventory --> View --> Export
doh, thanks! That's probably the best-looking version for printing.
Yeah, I also export to CSV, load into excel and resort by edition, prune each edition to their own sheets, and then resort alphabetically to side-by-side compare to an alphabetical cardlist for each edition to help spot which cards I need to complete a set.

Re: card location (4 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
Even just any sort of freeform "tag" field. Similar to wordpress blog tagging.
So you could tag a card Binder2, Page6, big-box, FNM, etc

Topic: Set/Edition completion (8 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
Would it be possible to let us know how much of a complete set we have for each edition, as well as which cards specifically we are missing to complete the set?

Topic: Deck Suggest, or Auto-Builder (3 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
Once a user has their entire inventory loaded, it would be nice to have a "Deck Suggest" or "Auto-Builder" ability that would suggest a deck configuration using the cards in your inventory, filterable by Standard/Legacy/etc.
Or even being able to have a filter option in the deck database to only show other decks that can be built with your inventory.
Even a "build random deck" ability that picks X creatures, Y instants/enchants, and Z land, would be fun.
