Whoa, awesome! It's great to see more and more of the various oddities make it into Deckbox.
For Brothers Yamazaki specifically, any chance the printing names could be changed to #160a and #160b? At the moment the only way to tell them apart is by picture, which makes it a pain to add them to your collection.
The double-faced black cards from SDCC this year (http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/magi … exclusives) are missing.
Hey all,
I just recently received some new judge foils: Damnation, Ravages of War, Feldon of the Third Path, and Dualcaster Mage. I'm interested in trading these and would love to see some offers.

A thought just occurred to me and I thought I'd add it here: for privacy purposes, I will only want others to be able to see the deck lists themselves, not the details about each card in the deck. That's another thing to bear in mind, thanks!
I thought you cancelled that one. Weird. Anyway, will make a proposal to you shortly! Sorry about that!
I recently added a lot of judge foils to my traders, and I'm interested both in some premium cards and some bulk. Please offer a trade!
See this thread.
When you say something in a trade, until you refresh the page, your username appears in the chat window rather than your real name.
I collect playsets. Often, however, I will wait for a while after a set comes out before listing the cards I don't have on my wishlist, to avoid trading for cards I later open (in drafts, say).
As a result, I often want to go through a set and add wishlist entries for every card I do not have, until I have (wished + owned = 4). But there are caveats, like I may have foils or promos or foreign versions that I want to trade of a card I don't have 4 regular of.
What I would like to do is see a list of every card in a set and how many I own of that card from that set so that I can adjust my wishlist. This is currently impossible.
Inventory comes closest, but it has two issues. The first, smaller, issue, is that even if I'm filtering by "edition printed in", I see different editions of the card. The filter applies only to the card itself, not to specific printings. The much, much bigger second issue is that it only shows cards I already have one of. The cards I have 0 of---the ones I most want---I don't see in the inventory, so this is not a perfect approach.
So in order to see the cards I have 0 of, I have to go to the card database. This lets me search fine, but it has a big problem of its own: each card is displayed in only one row, and this includes all cards I own. From the card database, if I'm looking at a reprinted card, I will see a playset if I have a playset of that card, regardless of whether it's a playset of the set I care about, another set, or some mix of the two.
Either way, the result is that I can't distinguish a card that I have a playset of from a different set, and I encounter a headache no matter what.
I would greatly appreciate if at least one of these sorting methods changed to account for this.
If I search my inventory for cards that are not foil, I never get any results.
See my wishlist. Will ship this one to anywhere in Canada.
We've gone back down to one judge foil vindicate, which has the wrong price (the old one, which is the picture displayed, is worth about $100).
If you filter by "Is Foil: False", you only see cards which are marked as Promo, Signed, or Textless and not Foil. All cards which aren't marked Foil should be displayed.

This I disagree with. The point of all this is to indicate where your cards physically reside. If they're in your deck they should be marked as in your deck. If they're in your collection they should be marked as in your collection. Why would you possibly want to mark something as in your collection if it is actually in your deck? The only reason I see here is being able to pass around a bogus decklist to friends so they don't really know what you're playing.
On second thought I could see you having an "official" decklist maybe via net decking that lists cards that should be in the deck you don't own and your "place holders" are your substitutes for those cards until you can acquire them. You want to keep the "official" decklist so you remember what cards are supposed to be in the deck but you also want to know what cards are actually physically in your deck. The more correct way to go about this would be having two decklists. The "official" decklist the unchanged one marked as unbuilt and a second decklist that includes the cards you actually put in your deck and it would be marked as built. You still have your reference and you now have an accurate representation of where your cards are at.
That said as above you could have something in your deck list that isn't in your collection. It would seem strange to me and it would probably break the deck tools to allow you to set the decklist number to 0 in the deck editor and to set the "number in deck" to a >0 number. If it were me doing this I would have a constraint placed on the decklist column that it would always be >= to the number in deck column. This would help ensure the user is marking this where they physically are.
Yes, this is what I'm referring to. The list in question was not made by net decking, but it's a Commander list that I have not yet finished. I'm only missing 7 cards, though, and none of them are crucial, so the deck physically has 7 other cards which are not going to be in the final version, but which make the deck legal. Right now, I have notes stored on the deck telling me which cards I'm missing; it would be nice if I could easily keep track of this and the extra cards that I've added in. Keeping two decklists seems like overkill, especially since if I decide to make a change to the list, then I have to go and edit both copies.
Mm... This is why I don't think that we should require distinct inventories, but just allow tags that a card may have one or more of. You can then represent a deck as a specific kind of tag. If a player doesn't want to trade his deck cards, he can do a search for cards tagged with deck tags and remove them from his tradelist. If you have a single copy of a card that you move between decks, tag that copy with multiple deck tags.
This could theoretically be different from the decklist feature, but to me dealing with that seems straightforward. Have columns "Number on decklist" and "Number in deck" on the deck view; the former is the number of cards you have on the list, the latter is the cards actually tagged with the deck's tag. If you click the number in deck, you get the popup window for that card, so that you can edit it. This also seamlessly allows for a card to be in the deck but not on the decklist. This is true for one of my Commander decks; it has several placeholders that don't appear on the "official" list but are physically in the deck. Privacy settings should allow a player to display publicly only the decklist, the number of each card in the deck, or the specific versions of each card in the deck.
Thanks for adding the promo schemes/planes!
Some of the expansion symbols are still incorrect, as I mentioned earlier in the thread.

Would this be better solved by just having a free form notes field on the card?
Freeform notes might be nice, but it would possibly be difficult to search/filter on.
Also I can't disagree more with anyone saying that you shouldn't be able to view all your cards from different inventories at once. That's my #1 use case: I want to know all the cards of something that I own, regardless of where they are.
Maybe just saved searches?
I prefer freeform tags simply because there are other tags, like "misprinted" (or for misprint collectors, different kinds of tags explaining how they're misprinted), that would be useful---and "promo" or "textless" really, since those are now given by the card's printing.
You could just add "is one of..." "is all of..." "is none of..." as filters for labels, although you might have to allow multiple of the same filter I guess?
Tember City is missing, and Chaotic Æther does not show up if you search "chaotic aether".
EDIT: Additionally, all planes listed here are promos and should have their set information reflect that. All except for Stairs to Infinity have the DCI logo expansion symbol; the Stairs' symbol is correct in the database.
EDIT2: Also all oversized cards are missing, for instance the oversized commanders that came with various Commander products.
EDIT3: All the promo schemes are missing too. They all have the DCI expansion symbol as far as I can see.
Oh, you appear to be right. I feel stupid now.
The trade system, when looking at someone else's collection for cards to trade, will sometimes accept a poor match too greedily before looking to see if there's a
As an example, I am looking for 5 Liliana of the Dark Realms: 3 from M13 and 2 from M14. If I go to solkanar44's page, it suggests trading mine for his. He has 2 LotDR from M14 for trade. However, the matcher matches with my M13 wish, so it says that it's a poor match and this match disappears if I go to strict matching, even though I want the M14 version as well.
When you use the Import...Cards interface, when you search a card, it automatically adds one to your inventory with the default parameters. But sometimes it splits the cards you have in a weird way.
For instance, suppose I have 3 copies of Black Lotus, one for trade. They all have the same parameters, which match my defaults. I use the Import...Cards dialog to add another one, which is in the same set and condition. When I add it, a new row is created in the inventory section of the import dialog. It should say 1 card, 0 for trade, but sometimes it says 1 card, 1 for trade instead. This is irritating if the new card is a foil, because then I need to go and move the one for trade back into the other list, or split it, or something. It adds cognitive load.
This happens often enough, but inconsistently so I cannot provide steps to reproduce.
P.S. Ideally the new row could be highlighted in some way to quickly adjust quantity/other properties.
For me, being able to track card location would be very useful. I think there's some interface aspects here that would be important to let me see generalizations without everything breaking down. I don't need every single differently-located card in my collection to be displayed when I look at the inventory, but I do care about being able to locate a card.
This would be particularly helpful when trying to correct errors. I do bulk trading, and don't have my collection handy. After a couple of trades, I can't keep everything straight. It would be good to be able to keep separate cards I have with me and cards that I don't (not per se, but maybe as something like "in trade binder" and "just acquired" as labels to let me do this) so that if I screw up somehow, I can correct it. As an example, if I want a playset of a pricey card and think I need two more, and earlier in the day I just got one, I can check if I actually have three at home and don't need to get any more, or if I just screwed up entering the earlier trade and really do only have two at home and one on hand.
Richard Garfield, Ph.D. is labeled as having only one printing in Unhinged. This is technically true because of the foil edition, but the foil edition has no price attached. It's worth about $100.
