Will be up today. They're lagging because I'm normally waiting for wizards to post them on gatherer to have a source I can scrape for the information. Entering 307 cards by hand is a very lengthy process, and an error prone one.

Most sets that are translated, I also import translations, with translated card names, and images. In this case there are 7 languages, bringing the total of card images to 2149.

Are you doing this solo?

When Deckstats.net, TappedOut, and mtgsalvation all already have C18 uploaded and useable in deckbuilding, why is Deckbox always behind the pack in getting this done? 60 cards shouldn't take weeks to upload.

Is there a specific reason it always takes so long for me to start using this site when spoilers are out?

It does, simply enable the "Decks Count" from the Columns dropdown in the deck listing. Then you get a number, and clicking that shows the deck panel with all your decks with that card.

Is this a premium feature? I just enabled it and nothing changed on my view.

What are the chances there is a feature on the way/in existence that will, while building a deck, tell me if given card I own is already in another deck I've marked as "Built"?

Break3r - I like that idea too....  I'll take a look and see what is feasible with my limited scripting knowledge!

EDIT: So I have put something together (was easier than I first thought). It takes one Deckbox inventory export (.csv) and one commander name (from EDHREC) and then the output is a list of cards you own that feature on the page of the commander on EDHREC.

Is this the kind of thing you had in mind?

I actually think I'll be able to figure it out on my own, but let me know if you want to compare notes big_smile

That's pretty much exactly what I had in mind. A nifty feature would be including the price of the cards being recommended wink

Can you share it, or is it on Github?

Hey guys, I've opened quite a few boxes of RTR and GTC and done some heavy trading into EDH. I'm currently looking at putting the finishing touches on my Sen Triplets EDH deck with some shiny lands. I'm looking for Marsh Flats, Flooded Strand, Polluted Delta, as well as the filter lands for the same colors.

Karn Liberated
Mox Diamond
Geist of St Traft
Snapcaster
Tamiyo
Venser, Shaper Savant

Let me know what you like!

I pulled and Obzedat and a Foil Watery Grave today. Looking to pick up something like Elspeth, Knight Errant or any cards that are close in value.

I have a Power Artifact up for trade. I'm looking for big Esper cards. Make me a deal.

I has me a power artifact I no longer need and want value for, make me a deal.

As the title states, you have fifty dollars and the entirety of magic history to select from. What do you get and why? I'm looking for cards that are always useful and applicable, that always hold their value, or that will always be good trading fodder.

Hey guys, I'm working on putting together a Grand Arbiter deck that focuses on stalling/combos for MP edh games. How does this look so far?

http://deckbox.org/sets/268527

I'm trying to keep the deck to a decent budget, so any cards I add need to be <$10.

Do the combos I have in there work? What should I add as more win-con combos, or as ways to tutor said combos out of the deck?

Winds of Rath is definitely on my want list. I'm thinking that I can remove alot of the instant speed control in favor of recursive defensive enchantments. I really like the idea of basically turtling my side of the table into not being worth attacking, and then Ethereal Armoring anything I have to make it terrifying. I'll get back to this thread once I've updated the deck to be more reflective of this modus operandi.

I'm not even going to pretend that I'm any sort of an expert in regard to EDH, but I can imagine Bruna would still be an effective general as long as you have multiple avenues to give her vigilance - keeping her untapped should keep you safe a lot of the time.

My second thought, where is Sphere of Safety - if you're dropping a ton of enchantments, this will keep your rear covered for long enough that Bruna could lay into people.  But even to that end, I'm only seeing 18 enchantments, don't you want a higher number to really capitalize on her abilities?  To that end I'm not seeing much in the U/W enchantments from RTR in here... Ethereal Armor and Righteous Authority come directly to mind.  But even more pseudo-removal things like Pacifism, Arrest, Paralyzing Grasp, Claustrophobia, and Encrust could be really useful.

Anyway, just some food for thought.

I actually just took out Sphere of Safety before I posted this in favor of some other the other new cards I just got - its probably going back in soon. Righteous Authority should be there. My buddy who is way more experienced than me says he likes hard removal over soft removal like enchantments, and I tend to agree, which is why the deck is currently more instant/sorcery heavy than it should be. I'm definitly going to be critically removing a large amount of the quick spells in favor of enchantments to make bruna way larger.

I suppose, with vigilance, giving her Entangler and pro creatures could protect me indefinitely. I like your thinking.

So I've been building a Bruna deck as my first major venture into EDH.

http://deckbox.org/sets/264744

Its been constantly improving and changing as I play and get more cards for it.

That being said, it seems to be a more 1v1 focused deck, given Bruna's nature as a voltron general.

From your point of view, can Bruna still maintain viability in multiplayer matches? I've been looking at other generals I could swap in, based on the cards I already have. My thoughts are:
Grand Arbiter Augustin IV
Geist of Saint Traft
Gwafa, the Profiteer
Zur the Enchanter

Which of these generals work best as a quick swap based on the cards I have?

Also, I'm looking at other colors I could play, what are the thoughts on the following for MP?

Karn, The Silver Golem
Sliver Overlord
Niz-Mizzet, the Firemind

I wants me a divin' top, and I will trade my body and soul for it.

edit: I'd also love a Grand Arbiter Augustin if anyone has a spare.

Is there any hope for an Android app in the near future?
