Re: More inventorying options (10 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
Okay, I've semi-gotten down what I'm trying to express here. I've attached a picture of what I mean with paint. The extra green icon represents how many cards in your inventory are still available to be added into decks.
[edit] Haha, so it never saved the attachment! Here's an imageshack link instead:

Re: Card sorting (the paper kind) and deck construction tips (10 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Okay, so I've finally decided on what I'll be doing thanks to you guys.
I'll be sorting by color first off, separating the multicolor and split cards into their own category, then alphabetically. I wanted to make this as easy on my brain to enter into the system once I'd done sorting them out, and so breaking my collection into slightly more bite sized chunks seems logical :3
Thanks everyone for the input!

Does anyone know if you can set the collection info from the list import?
I was wondering that myself, it'd be a handy thing to do, since then I'd tabulate my whole collection in Excel sets and all so I don't accidentally hit back and swear a lot. I'd then import the whole lot using the excel export funtion :3

Topic: More inventorying options (10 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
Okay, I've got a few things I'd like to ask about here. The first is if there was a way of showing which cards were being used in decks. The reason I'd want that is obvious, not all my cards will be "available" as it is. They'll be in a deck somewhere else and otherwise not able to be incorporated into another deck. I suppose having something along the lines of "available cards" and a count beside the cards in question would be good for deck builds too, since I might have two Graceful Adept cards, but if one is in a deck it'd be nice if I could keep track of which one it was in and so on.
Another thing I'd like to see is the ability to add a few or a whole deck into my inventory. Mostly because I'm trying to populate my inventory first by the decks I have, then by the random cards I've collected.
Anyway that's my two cents on the matter, this site is looking sweet so far!

Re: Card sorting (the paper kind) and deck construction tips (10 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Heh, well I had a game with a few friends recently and paid more careful attention to what they were using and how it worked with other cards than focusing solely on obliterating whatever they had now, and it's beginning to make more sense. I was a bit of a noob in the beginning of playing this game, but now I'm hopefully learning how to play a little more 
Once I'm done sorting my deck out I'll be leveling my sighs on making up a new deck though. Thanks for the ideas :3

LootPinata:
Sweet this helps a lot! I somehow doubt I'll be looking for cards in the same way but your deck building methods seem to be very thorough. So far I've learned two things from this: I don't have to make a 'theme' for my deck despite what the interwebs tells me and I should be paying attention to what other people play. That second one seems a little harder since I only really know a few cards, but I suppose that'll come in time.
Cheers

Topic: Card sorting (the paper kind) and deck construction tips (10 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I was wondering how you guys sorted your cards. I've spent an inordinate amount of time sorting my cards by colour, when a friend of mine suggested I refine it further. I'll be sorting the coloured sections into their rarity and then mana cost.
He stated the reason for sorting by rarity was because every deck needs a few uncommons and a rare or two, but that just brings the question: What do you guys consider when building decks? I've plenty of cards ranging from weatherlight to the ones you'll see floating around on the shelves in EB these days courtesy of a friend of mine moving away and no longer needing them, but I honestly look at the pile of cards and just decide to play with the decks I've already got.
Any advice is appreciated!
