I have the same problem. I have premium, and my decklist count also shows zero on my inventory page. When I click on a card, it shows which decks it's used in, but the count shows as zero in the column. It shows zero for every card, despite me having a number of decks built. Toggling sharing of cards between decks didn't affect it.

No problem! Glad to get it resolved for you.

Ohhhh, I see the disconnect. Admittedly, the "I'm looking for" filter is a bit of a misnomer. It does show you people that are looking for rhystic study that have nothing you want. Just look at the "can give/receive" column. You will see people that have a N/A in the receive column. They will be towards the end of the list, as the users will be sorted from highest to lowest of the smaller of these two numbers. These users want a rhystic study, but have nothing on your wishlist.

Glad that helped. Still not sure what you mean about it not showing everyone though. The following deckbox users won't appear in this search:
-Those set to vacation mode
-Those set to "not trading" or "only trading locally" in their trade preferences
-Those in other countries/continents that are only set to trade within their country/continent respectively.
-Users that don't match your filters you specify. (Last online, trade score, successful trade %.)

I would suggest, especially if you're new, to bump the trade score down to 0. Especially if you are making smaller trades, trading with other new members to build rep is a good idea. I wouldn't touch the last online, as those that haven't been on in 2 weeks are probably inactive for an extended period of time, but maybe worth a shot. If you propose a trade to one of them, they should at least get an email, so you might get a response. More than likely though it'll just sit in your pending trades for a few weeks and you'll end up canceling it out of frustration. (That happens a lot, even with "active" users. Don't take it personally, some people just suck at trading and being responsive.) I'll sometimes bump the successful trade % down to 90, as it's possible someone with a relatively low number of trades had one go sideways because of a PO problem or something, but always look at their successful trades, and the reason for the negative feedback before pursuing a trade.

The deckbox community as a whole is only so big. I have dozens of friends that play Magic, and none of them have DB accounts (at least I don't believe any of them actively trade through it. I'm working on encouraging them though.) 3 pages of results for people looking for Rhystic Study doesn't seem that unreasonable to me. It only sees play in commander. Look up a card like Scalding Tarn that's relevant across basically all formats, and you'll find hundreds of people looking for them.

Once you build the deck, you can click the inventory count box from the decklist, and add exactly those cards there. If you turn off the setting "I'm sharing cards between built decks" in your profile, you won't have to worry about how to count duplicates. As for foils, after the card you'll see a number of options, including edition, language, and then special flags, such as signed, altered art, foil, artist proof, misprint, etc. Just add the foil flag to the card. As for sealed product, there currently isn't a way to include that in inventory, unfortunately. =/

It is important to note a few things about the filters on the trade opportunities page.

1.) Every filter is an AND, not an OR. So if you put in both Rhystic Study, and Aura Shards, you will only see the users that want BOTH cards, not all users that want EITHER card. Similarly, if you put in a specific card that you are looking for, it will only show you a user that both has that card, and wants Rhystic Study. As such I almost never use both on the same search. Also be mindful of the other search criteria at the top of the page. The defaults are generally ok on those, but sometimes I'll drop the minimum of 5 feedback filter to pick up a couple extra options.

2.) The search is not particularly intelligent when it comes to versions of cards. If you specify, for example, the prophecy version (default) it will only show users that have specified the Prophecy version in their wishlist. It will not show users that don't have a version specified. As such, when I just changed from Prophecy Rhystic Study, to unknown version Rhystic Study, my opportunities just jumped from 11, to 3 pages. That said, specifying unknown version will show all users that have any version of the card, so you will need to check each user that appears on this search, and make sure they don't have the Commander's Arsenal version specified. (I just quickly did that search, and only 5 users appeared, so most of those 3 pages don't have a version specified.) Not particularly relevant for a card that's only been printed twice, but could be significant for a version that has a dozen printings.

Hope that helps!

Value is entirely subjective. Most people use either TCG Market prices for accuracy, or Deckbox prices for simplicity. There's also TCG Mid, Low, Buylist, and SCG pricing that can all be good data points. Every one of these prices has its own merits, and flaws. I'd say put in your profile what pricing you'd prefer to use, and when you're trading with someone, pay attention to what pricing scheme they say they prefer in their profile.

The problem with showing people that only want to trade locally, is that most people aren't going to notice the user is set to that, so people set to "just trade locally" will get a lot of offers that they probably don't want. I've also noticed some users set it to this, so that they can propose offers out, but people can't search for them to propose them offers, giving them a little greater control over what trades they conduct. I don't know that I approve of this usage, but it is what it is.

So here's the deal. I've been very aggressively trading the last 2 months since I joined here. As such, I am down to basically no tradeable cards above $10. I still have a large amount of small cards, and standard cards that I am looking to liquidate, and trade up for modern or legacy staples. I recognize trading up usually comes at a premium So here's the offer:

I'll add 5% for cards valued between $5 and $10
I'll add 10% for cards between $10 and $15
I'll add 15% for cards between $15 and $20,
I'll add 20% for cards betwee $20 and $30, Khans Fetches, and all Shocklands
I'll add 30% for cards over $30
AND I'll add 40% for cards from the following list:

Arcbound Ravager (MM version)
Through the Breach
Ancestral Vision
Horizon Canopy
Jace, the Mind Sculptor
Verdant Catacombs (MM17 version)

And, because why not, 50% for duals or other valuable reserved list cards, if you happen to be interested in trading one down like that.

ex. you are trading me a $30 card, and a $15 card. I'll trade $56.25 for those $45 in cards ($30 * 1.3 + $15 * 1.15)

Other notes and fine print:
1.) Only trading cards currently on my tradelist
2.) I'm interested in any staples, not just cards mentioned on my wishlist
3.) Because I'll be losing "value" in the trade, in addition to the cost of shipping, I'd prefer for these trades to be at least $25 coming to me in order to be worth it, and at least 3 to 1 in quantity.
4.) Since there will be a large quantity of cards on my side, and deckbox pricing is generally close enough on small cards, we'll use deckbox pricing for my half to save looking up and adding dozens of cards. Prefer to use TCG Market for the cards I'm trading up to, but I'm willing to negotiate.

Come grab my bulk!

Just gonna put this out there, but given that this board sees an average of 1 post per week, your post will be at the top for a long time without needing to "bump" it every couple days.

The Expedition Canopy is gone, sadly. I have acquired the Trop I needed, but would be in the market to pick up another. I have some other duals available, and a couple normal Canopies that I'd consider trading for it, if any of that interests you. (They aren't showing in my tradelist right now, but you can look at my inventory to see them. Everything but the Trop, Volcs, and Useas would be tradable.)

Only need one Force now. All the cards listed here are still available.

Looking for a couple of Force of Wills. Either EMA or Alliances is fine. Must be NM. Have a few bigger cards to put towards them, including:
Liliana of the Veil (MM17)
Jace, the Mindsculptor (EMA)
3x Leovold, Emissary of Trest
2x Ancestral Vision (Duel Decks Anthologies)
And more in my tradelist, not looking to trade duals towards these though. Will include some value if you are trading down to a pile of smaller cards.

Update - Now have the following:
1x SP Revised Tundra
1x SP Revised Savannah
1x NM Revised Scrubland
1x SP Revised Scrubland
1x NM Lion's Eye Diamond

And lots of other stuff, but that's the big reserved list items that are most likely to be of interest to someone with an Underground Sea for trade.

Looking to pick up both a Revised Volcanic Island, and Revised Unerground Sea to finish off a legacy Grixis Delver list. Also looking for 2x EMA Force Of Will, and 1x Tempest Wasteland, but these are easier to come by, so not looking to trade the below cards for them, unless as part of a package with the Volc/Usea.
I have the following big ticket items to put towards both:
2x Revised Tundra (SP)
1x Revised Scrubland (SP)
1x Revised Savannah (SP)
1x Rishadan Port (NM)
1x Unopened From The Vault Exiled
1x Expedition Horizon Canopy (NM)
1x Foil MM17 Scalding Tarn (NM)

Obviously I have other cards than this to make up value, or if you have interest in other things, but I figured the majority of these things would be required to get both needed duals. I don't need NM, but definitely looking for minimal wear, so SP or better.
