Hi guys,
I need some cash for my daughters' Christmas. Some things haven't gone so well the last couple of months and I can't stand the thought of them having none of their requests from santa fulfilled...
I listed this gorgeous UL Time Walk on another site, and just updated my "sales" section to include a special price break for Deckboxers.... please spread the word if you know anyone who might be interested.
Time is of the essence. . . Time walk...meh,
thank you!
Most pertinent (and recent) forum post I found re: Walmart, Target, etc (big box) promo cards. This is a solid link to the complete listing. With photographs even. I haven't parsed deckbox.org with the entire list to determine every missing card, but for instance we do not have the Felidar Sovereign (2016) version on deckbox.org yet.
No rush, but bookmark this link for easy reference:
https://www.magiclibrarities.net/160-ra … index.html - Big Box promo reference site
Foil Felidar Soverign - custom hi-res scan of Felidar Sovereign (#026 Walmart & Target Promo, 2016)
As always, thank you for what you do
Yep, partly the reason for their absence is that initially I imported the sets from a wizards listing of World Champ deck contents, and that listing did not include these. I do want to import them though.
I need to find a proper decklist for all of them somewhere...
Gotcha right here:
http://tinyurl.com/PT96-dec-and-MTGO-formt (.xlsx file with all decks sorted by tabs for Player name and in both .dec and MTGO formats)
http://tinyurl.com/PT96-deckbxorg-format (.xlsx file - using db.org formatting; containing only the 123 cards unique to this set -instead of by deck-)
http://tinyurl.com/PT96-decklists (.xlsx "master" file with csv formatting of all decks in one tab sorted by qty, player, etc.)
I could only upload one attachment directly within this post and it is the same document as the last linked above. If you have any issues downloading or accessing the dropbox shared files, please let me know. (apparently tinyurls will sometimes "corrupt" the target DL and you have to simply re-follow the link for it to work)
Anyway, I doubt these file lists will be perfect for your integration but hopefully they'll make it easier - - I think my Premium Membership to Deckbox has expired because I wasn't able to access and mimic precise formatting for some of your exports/files - so I guessworked best I could 
NOTE: The file lists DO NOT contain any of the "EXTRAS" cards in the set: Blank cards, Bio cards, and Deck List cards
NOTE²: Annoyingly, Wizards left out two cards from Justice's deck: 1x Balance and 1x Incinerate. I don't know if this would necessarily affect adding the set to Deckbox, but I wanted to mention it
Reference: Magic Rarities
I like the DB additions, they're terrific.
I was wondering if there was a discussion (and I missed it) regarding the World Championship gold-border Decks from 1996, though. The Inaugural Pro Tournament. I cannot seem to find these cards within the database. And a search in the Forums here yielded little.
I believe the delineation lies in the fact that most available "wikis" reference this set separately from the 1997-2004 ones (and indeed there are some differences in the cards themselves).
- Here are two pertinent articles indicating each:
http://mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/Pro_T … lector_Set (The very first "W.C.D." ever printed, 1996)
http://mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/World … ship_Decks (The follow-ups, 1997-2004)
- Here are a couple personal photos I uploaded for quick-reference - Many aren't even aware this set exists, apparently.
I'd like to see this set get added to our DB, if possible. I have the set, in varying degrees of Mint-ness (or perhaps Mint-less would be more accurate?!) and would contribute in any fashion deemed helpful.
What do you think?
I concur - Gatherer and other sources have these items listed. Welcome Deck 2016; can we get them into our fantastic database here?
Thank you!
Admin edited: Please do not advertise other websites on this forum.
It seems that certain cards do not show up under color filter results.
Example:
COLOR is Exclusively One Of (or All Of) Black =
cards without casting costs don't show up, such as Living End, Slaughter Pact
***Also it would be nice to navigate pages by clicking page number instead of Next as your only option. If I filter Black Rares and have 27 pages and I know I need to view cards beginning with "M", for example, I have to click NEXT 15 times...
Thanks!
When too many editions get added to a specific card, everything goes a little whacky, display-wise.
Please make this edit pop up box expandable.
hi ho, and welcome!!

Any info whether Rennaissance and the other missing editions will be added?We didn't have them because gatherer does not list them. We need to build an importer for magiccards.info for these sets. It's high prio now, so it will come in the next 2-3 of weeks, along with the trading opportunities rewrite.
Do you know if this importer will fix the current rules section on individual cards?
For example,
Illusionary Mask on deckbox.org currently reads:
You may put a creature card with converted mana cost X or less from your hand into play face down as a 0/1 creature. Put X mask counters on that creature. Play this ability only any time you could play a sorcery. The creature's controller may turn the creature face up any time he or she could play an instant by removing all mask counters from it. This effect ends if the creature is turned face up.
However, according to Gatherer, the current rules text should read:
You may choose a creature card in your hand whose mana cost could be paid by some amount of, or all of, the mana you spent on Variable Colorless. If you do, you may cast that card face down as a 2/2 creature spell without paying its mana cost. If the creature that spell becomes as it resolves has not been turned face up and would assign or deal damage, be dealt damage, or become tapped, instead it's turned face up and assigns or deals damage, is dealt damage, or becomes tapped. Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery.
I've come across numerous discrepancies such as this. Wanted to make sure you were aware
Thanks
Deckmaster set is missing from the dropdown choices of sets;
Sorry for the multiple posts, but came across these at different times:
Anthologies set is missing from the dropdown (pendelhaven, for example) + Duels of the Planeswalkers is missing (basic lands, as an example)
Also, is it possible to include Summer Magic as a set?

On the high end (e.g., some planeswalkers), the foil values are much higher than the standard versions (e.e., Lilian of the Veil at $25 and the foil at $60).
Man, I wish it was that easy. Some of the old stuff is just crazy, like an MM brainstorm (foil common is $100). Even in a new set, cloudshift regular is 15c and foil is more like 1.75. It sucks when I'm doing all these bulk trades, you really do have to check every single one because you never know what will be sneaky-expensive.
Yep. I was randomly looking up values for some of my cards one time when I found a foil Gush. I was quite surprised at the results, to say the least.
By the way, I have a foil Gush if anybody is interested in a trade!
1. A flat percentage mark up definitely would not prove very accurate when conducting trades. That much is true. I wonder why the current api does not differentiate between the two.
2. I was the same way, though to a lesser degree, when I was cleaning up some commons and came across a playset of foil giant growths. I probably own 150 giant growths, but the four foil ones add up to be $75-$100. Crazy.
3. I'd be interested in a foil Gush - what are you looking for - just PM me
4. Would it be too far-fetched to allow end-users to assign a custom value for specific iterations of cards? Maybe it could be highlighted orange or something once it's been custom-valued so other people realize it is not a system default.
Say I have a foil Masticore that has been signed and altered by the artist - I could assign it my own value and it would instantly be trade-recognizable as such.
jfadeX wrote:Hmmm... Foil prices seem the same as non-foils...
As much as I want the foil prices to be accurate, I believe this is more an issue with TCGPlayer's API. If you click the link (price) and actually view the cards on their site, they don't distinguish between prices for foil and non-foil. You actually have to scan the list for a foil version which, of course, is a higher price and likely affects the "average" and "high" prices of the card in question. Pretty stupid if you ask me, but a lot of people use TCGPlayer for their pricing and, as far as I know, they're the only ones with an API.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh...I suppose this makes sense.
What do you think about an inherent, or flat, multiplier added to the base value of a card if it's marked Foil? Go on the low-side and just use Base Value * 110% or something?
While I understand your frustrations (I've experienced everything you have with my inventory of 10k+ cards), I still find this site to be the best out there for managing my inventory.
Thanks for the reply. At least I know I wasn't missing some interface options, judging by your reply.
And I agree 100% about the management tool that this site offers compared to others - I love deckbox.org so I hope I did not come across as a detractor.
And yeah, I had previously entered in generic (yet accurate) card counts previous to the update and was just going back through the collection to specificy all the details per card - and doing so in that order is, unfortunately, ponderous - if I were to START entering cards with the new entry method of course it'd be much simpler.
jfadeX wrote:Oh, and you cannot see the third digit if you have more than 99 quantity of a particular card.
I believe that's a valid point. I don't know how many people collect more than 99 of a given card, but it should not be too tough to widen the field. I just have to wonder how many people are affected by the two-digit count, and then wonder if someone else might come along and ask Sebi to allow four digits (thousands).
Indeed, I own an expansive collection and mitigating differences amongst 200+ BoPs can be time-taxing. Perhaps you have a better solution for me, because where this "quantity" visibility issues comes into play the most for me is with basic lands.
1. I entered in over 100 decks that I own a couple years ago, and added all basic lands to inventory while doing so
2. Many of the lands are foiled, signed, etc., and thus would be important to denote
3. After the update I have been going through my physical deck lists in the site, clicking on the INVENTORY count within the deck and modifying the land (and other cards) from the pop up. This is where I can't see my full quantity (i.e., 600 forest) and I have to do squirrely math and arrow keys to correctly ferret out that I just "removed" 12 basic forest and replaced them with 6 unhinged forest and 6 foil forest, for example. It's tedious.
Based on what you said, above, it shouldn't be too difficult to expand the pop up, add a card name header, and expand the entry boxes.
Something else I was wondering - you cannot flag a specific card FOR a specific deck, correct? If I have two decks with a Darksteel Colossus each, I can't currently flag which deck has the "foil" Colossus in it? Just making sure.
Thanks again!
okay, I'm a little bit confused about something else... 
I'm in deck view. I click on my inventory count for a particular card and a few minor things come to mind:
- Pop up box blocks the card you've clicked on in the background. Thus, if you have a quantity of said card in inventory and wishlist it's impossible to see what car you are currently viewing. May seem silly, but inputting a couple thousand cards and you can forget real quick
- I'm not certain what the twisty arrows mean. I've figured out that if I have 18 quantity listed for a card and I click on the arrows it will create a new line item and remove 1 quantity from the line item I was just on. So i'd then have 1 and 17. However, maybe I'm missing something because this seems to cause me more issues that in helps.
For instance, if I have 18 Cabal Therapy, for example, and I'd like to parse those 18 into line item groups that each share a distinction (Maybe 9 of my Cabals are identical, but the remainder all have different attributes - condition, set, etc.) then I find myself doing subtraction problems each time I go in and attempt to drill down to my specific cards. I click the arrows once and I have 1 and 17. But actually I want 9, 2, 2, 2, 2, and 1 quantities, all on their own lines. I'm assuming you have to go and just manually chop up all those quantities. Just seems that there should be little + or - buttons to take from or add to the original quantity, or something.
After entering a few thousand cards over the past two days I'm honestly most frustrated by this issue. I have a couple hundred Birds of Paradise cards. Each time I go in and take "4" out of the 200 inventory list to denote that they are a specific set / condition / foil, I have to go in and change my new quantity from 1 to 4 and then subtract those 'extra' 3' from the original quantity (200, already subtracted one with the twisty arrows, so 199, now I have to tab back over and overwrite quantity to 196). Maybe this seems mundane but it adds up!!
Any suggestions would be welcome. And as always, thank you for your site!
EDIT Oh, and you cannot see the third digit if you have more than 99 quantity of a particular card.
Volcanic Island, Beta = $0.00 value.
I noticed that a lot of the feedback was being posted in this thread, so though I already posted in the other one, I just thought I'd post it here too.
Just throwing my 2 cents in
Firstly, I love the update. Especially the fact that prices are now per edition instead of for the global card.
In saying that, though, is there any chance we can get the column which shows how many of a card is in use in our decks? It's how I would sort out discrepancies between my inventory count and tradelist count.
Thanks, again
+1 for seeing # of copies of a card currently in decks
ALSO, this is a bug, I believe: the "A" to denote "autographed" does not show along with the other icons once it has been assigned to a card (like foiled, English, etc.)
Thanks!!
Hmmm... Foil prices seem the same as non-foils...
Love the updates that did get put in place, though.
Would like to see the ability to search or sort your decks...either by color, name, format, etc.
I realize, after re-reading my post that I wasn't terribly clear on a few of the points. Here you go:
- all your sets are exportable to csv, and to txt via View - Export and View - Print
I meant can we create the function of exporting our decklists? Either en masse or one by one. Then we could utilize the exported .dec or .txt file to import into Apprentice or MtgO or even just to keep a hard copy on our PC. I see that we can do this with our Inventory (even filtered) but not by deck.
- you can sort any set or deck by clicking on the column headers
Oops, I meant can you add the function to sort our list of actual decks, not the cards within a given decklist. i.e., If I add 90 decks, I would like the ability to sort or filter my decks from the profile page. Adding tags/sub-names for Type of deck and Colors would further help us view all Green / Red decks that qualify for Legacy (as an example)
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by number 9.

I've attached a screenshot with my effort at visually depicting what I meant with #9, albeit not a very sophisticated one. For each card in our Inventory/Decklist we should automatically list all the set icons to the right of the card name (since there is plenty of room). We should then include a small Quantity box (similar to what you currently have for Inventory, Wishlist, etc.) underneath or beside each icon. Add ability to inline type a numeric quantity when you click on the Quantity box ("4" for example) and/or make the actual Icon clickable to increase set specific Qty by one at a time. This would add a phenomenal visual benefit to quickly browse inventory to see how many of each card we own from which set.
Thank you for your response, I am looking forward to hearing more.
Specifically I use your site for MtG, the interface is great. Thank you for the valuable effort you've put into the site.
Requests/Suggestions:
1. Xantid Swarm doesn't import correctly, fyi. I found a couple other cards that won't import correctly also; can't recall them ATM. Will add to my post when I do...
2. Value of Collection, a must add!
3. Ability to increase quantity of all checked cards
4. Helping to utilize #3 more efficiently, can we add the ability under Card Actions to Add to Inventory instead of only Add to Deck?
5. I looked this up on the Forum, but is there a way to create an entire 15 card sideboard all at once, using the copy/paste method as opposed to one at a time?
6. Deck export function (.txt or .dec)
7. Any way we improve Deck IMPORT function also? So we can Browse and search for a .txt or .dec file on our hard drive to upload in one fell swoop?
8. Again, I searched for this answer but was unable to find it: Can we re-order/sort/filter our decks at all? Can we add the ability to do so via Type and Color(s)?
9. The ability to both see and "flag" each card set owned of a particular card is a bit clunky. One easy solution that would yield massive efficiency would be to auto-load each card's available card set icon next to the name in the normal view along with the ability to increase Qty. of each with a single click or typed numeral.
10. Under card Detailed information can we default the Edition, Condition, and Language so that we only would need to edit it in some cases, not all?
11. I assume the average tcg price is based on the default Edition, because when I go into Details and select Beta, for example, on my Wrath of God, it doesn't change the value. Any way we can read specific set values?
12. Last but not least, I've noticed that it is much easier for me to go to Add Deck, and copy/paste my individual deck lists rather than paste into Inventory and then find and "add to deck" one card line item/page at a time. But when you add cards directly to a new deck, there is not a simple way to ALSO add them to your Inventory. You have to go line by line manually adding any new quantities to the Inventory column. Fleshing out a simple way to "add deck list" to Inventory would be most helpful.
I have a massive collection and have been shopping for a new storage and mgmt. system for a while. I like this site the best and would be willing to help pay for some of these improvements. Tell me what we can do to move this forward!!
