You can try exporting your inventory (Tools -> Export) and sorting by Condition in Excel.

I want to reiterate a currently functional method for storing location info:

1. Create a virtual deck for each location and put them all in one folder.
2. When adding or removing physical cards, do the same for their virtual 'location decks'

• To make finding locations faster, use a naming convention that makes them visually distinctive. For example, I precede each deck name with three hyphens. ( --- Trade Binder #1 ) That way, I can quickly find where the cards are even if the card page has numerous other decks mixed alongside the 'location decks'.

• This same method works for regular decks as well. (I use "!" as a naming convention for those) Also, if you have a large main storage location like me, don't bother creating a deck for it; anything that doesn't have an affiliated 'location deck' can be inferred to be there. Even if it it's split among multiple boxes, as long as there are rules for those splits, (by rarity, set, color, type, foils, etc) it's easy to go straight to the correct box.

• If a location's cards are added to the inventory without a 'location deck', just sort the inventory by date added and narrow down the first and last cards added from that location by checking inventory cards against the physical location. Then, just export that list and add it to the 'location deck'.

• It's often not necessary to remove cards from their 'location deck' if you're trading or selling them. If a card isn't in your inventory, its presence in any 'location decks' can safely be ignored.

Example
Finding where specific versions of cards are can actually be relatively simple. Even in the not-so-simple Fireblast page below, I can determine where each copy is, due to a few organizational rules. I'll explain the process in detail.

Only 10 of the 15 have "---" or "!", so the other 5 must be in my big storage box, (categorized in the 6cmc red instants section) and consequently marked for trade. There are 8 total for trade, so the other 3 can only be in the "---" marked locations (My decked cards are rarely marked for trade). One of those locations is "--- Sealed DD: Jace v [Chandra]---", so clearly 2 of the 3 are there, and they're the 2 JVC versions. The last one for trade should be in the "--- Trade Binder #1", since that only contains tradelisted cards; of the tradelisted versions, the FNM foil seems the most tradeable (i.e. valuable). By process of elimination, the 4 gold-bordered editions and one Visions edition should be in the big box together.

That leaves 7 non-tradelisted Fireblasts: 5 are in regular decks (Goblins and Burn) and 2 are in the only remaining locations: Cube and EDH Foils. I prefer original-printing foils for cube, so that leaves the Fire and Lightning edition foil for the EDH Foils location, and the 5 Visions editions are in Goblins and Burn.

• Deck names can store extra info. If, for some reason, I preferred the F&L edition in cube, I could record that exception in the notes of the Cube 'location deck' and make the name something like "! Cube (non-proxied) *E:Fireblast" with E for Exceptions, or just "! Cube (non-proxied) [Exceptions in notes]" so mousing over the title on the card page would alert me to click through and realize that the cube has a different edition than I would normally prefer.

I use decks for this purpose, and have a naming convention to signify whether a "deck" is a binder/box, or even a built deck that's stored somewhere in particular. My main 'collection' box is too big to realistically be used for this (the site would crash trying to load it), but everything else is small enough to be modifiable when I add/remove cards. If there isn't a signifier for a card I have, then I know it's in the main box.
                         
These sub-collections aren't searchable, but as a way to find where individual cards are, it works well enough for me.

Yeah. I agree that it would be useful for instances like that. As for the double entry issue, you can just copy a list of the cards after adding them to your inventory (sort by 'last added') from specific locations. That way, you don't have to retype every card name.

Yes, there is. You can import cards from a CSV (comma separated values) file, including set info or any other info. The easiest way to see how the file should be formatted is to export your inventory first - this will give you a CSV file (openable by Excel) with the correct headers. Simply replace the card info with whatever you want to import, then select "Add Cards" > "From a CSV file" on Deckbox and choose that file. You may need to use 'Gatecrash' instead of '[GTC]', but you can easily use the 'find and replace' feature of Word or Excel to do that. That same feature can alter other formatting differences to match Deckbox's too.

This kind of thing would require a 'completed deck' feature, I think. Otherwise, it would find loads of incomplete decks and non-decks when comparing cards. I know I have more of the latter than the former, at least.

I believe you can actually paste cards into the sideboard as well by preceding sideboard cards with "sideboard:" in the mass card entry field. To be honest, I realized this functionality by mistake when copying a decklist. Example:

4 Lightning Bolt
4 Delver of Secrets
4 Preordain

Sideboard:
3 Dispel
3 Electrickery

The double sided Demon/Angel token from Avacyn Restored has the wrong art for the Demon side:

https://deckbox.org/mtg/Demon?fromqs=tr … ting=25857

Upon closer inspection, it seems the double sided card is the 'Helvault Experience' version, so both sides are mislabeled and/or have incorrect art. It seems like a good idea to also provide the 'see other side' feature that's included on regular double sided cards.

Huh, thanks. Seems you still have to do that per card, but it's certainly an improvement.

The Origins DFC checklist token is missing. Its number is 000/272.
