If you just want to track your inventory and create a record of your decks, there is no cost and no limits.  Some of the features that appeal to collectors are associated with a premium account, but you can certainly get by without it.  Sebi (the owner and admin) has said that if you want to support Deckbox, the best ways are either to get a premium account or buy cards from the marketplace, but neither of these are required.

I'm definitely in this situation as well.  I'm not working on playsets, and just trying to get all of the complete sets.  I'm probably never going to complete A/B/UL, but the others seem within reach.  I have lots of extra commons, but it is hard to find the time to list them all here.

It sounds like you have a good approach planned.

If you are going to go with the premium account for now, you can also note specific cards that are in a given deck.  I like to keep track of what cards are in each deck, as it helps figure out where specific cards are and where I still need to upgrade cards to foil.

The ability to easily add cards to specific sets with the + and - buttons is wonderful.  Just make sure that you set your default values properly before you do.  You'll probably want to set NM as the default condition and specify that your cards are in English.

For proxies, I would suggest marking them as textless cards.  There is no legitimate reason to use that property any longer, so it makes it very clear that something unusual is going on, and you'll also have an easy way to filter your collection as well.  You can just filter your inventory for textless cards and see them all really easily.  If you want to get a rough idea of your collection value you can filter your inventory to not show textless cards, and then select 'View' -> 'Total Set Value' to get the value.  Just note that Deckbox values aren't great.  But, as you said, you'll have your inventory available as a CSV, so you can get a more accurate estimate of card value elsewhere.

Looking at a card by name will display all versions that you own that match that name.  If you go to the page for Snow-Covered Swamp, you'll see everything, no matter if it matches that version exactly or not.  You can look at the details for your inventory by hovering over the set icon to which number it is.  The different images that are shown for the page are selected by choosing the printing from the drop-down menu, but that only changes the image, not what you have in your inventory.

As far as I know you can get messages in two main ways -- as a message under the "Trade & Market" section (in Messages, Trading or My Orders), or as a direct message to your e-mail.  I believe that the direct messages are sent by looking at a person's profile and selecting "Send forum e-mail" and that those only exist as e-mails and not any place in the DeckBox interface.

I agree completely.  If anything is implemented for sealed product, it would great at a minimum to be able to list sealed boosters and booster boxes.  Adding sealed Commander decks and the like would be wonderful as well.  A lot of people place sealed products in their profiles so that they have some way to show what they have and are interested in.  It is an ugly solution, but the best one at the present time.  It would be wonderful to have a way to easily search for sealed products and to have an easy way to present what you have available for other people to browse.

The link that is being sent in the e-mails now is missing 'https://' or 'http://' at the start.  Now the link is just something like:

deckbox.org/trades/642270

If I copy/paste the link then Firefox is smart enough to go to the right place, but clicking the links doesn't trigger the same logic.

On your inventory page it says:

comport9's Inventory (5479 cards, 2636 distinct)

Which number is incorrect?  What were you expecting?

MTG Trades has no integration with Deckbox.  It just keeps updated prices based on TCG Player.  You can either browse by set, search, or build trades for it to track and evaluate.  You can choose your TCG Player pricing option, whether it is TCG low, TCG low/mid average (my favorite), TCG median or TCG market.  For each card it has a picture, the current Oracle text, and links to any other versions of the card that exist.

I would focus more on the +1/+1 counter and loyalty counter aspects that work with proliferate and cut out the token creature sub-theme.  I like to go all-in on a theme and push it as far as I can (while keeping it fun).  So I guess I would go with version #1.  I would build a separate deck with the Rhys, Wurmcoil Engine, Rite of Replication, and Progenitor Mimic portion and add populate.  I like the find with Heliod's Punishment that you can keep adding task counters to it.  I would also find a way to add Pir, Imaginative Rascal.

Deckbox used to use TCG Player pricing, but once Deckbox started their own market for selling cards they were told by TCG Player that Deckbox had to stop using TCG pricing.  I have a feeling that any other commercial outfit would react the same. It is annoying, but at least there are great apps out like there like MTG Trades.

The advanced search at scryfall.com is always the way to go when doing searches.  The options there are just amazing.
