Another suggest:

Add a filter "No used in deck(s)" in "Inventory" with same restrictions as previous suggestion ("Not count for my decks").

Hi!

The suggestion is a option for mark a deck as "Not built" or "Not count for my Decks".

Situation:

I have all decks organized like "Ideas" (copied decks in search of ideas), "my own decks" (mounted and playing), "other decks" (some fun decks copied and mounted from other people) and "In progress" (one of my own decks but not mount or missing some cards at this moment).

The "problem" is the last type of decks. Say I want, for example, make a new deck for mount it with 4 llanowar elf. I add to deck list and then i can see i have 20 llanowar elfs in total in my inventory. Until now is all ok. But now i click in llanowar elf and go to "My decks" for know how many llanowar spares i have (i remember use like 8 in 2 different decks) but in this section i can see "i have" 100 llanowars in 50+ from "Ideas" decks when I only want to know from decks "really mounted".

If the card is only in 3-4 decks (mounted or from "Ideas" category) is easy to sum from one category and rest from another. But if you see one card in 10+ decks then start to be more work. Specially if you need to revise 15-25 cards for every new deck before mount it.

Hi!

First deck:

- Consider change the Unsummon for Vapor Snag, is the same but with 1 life loss. If 9/10 times you use unsummon in enemys creatures, Vapor Snag is better.
- Rite of Replication if you want for the kicker effect (but 9 manas is too much in my opinion) ok but if only want for her copy effect, you have better options.

Anyway, need more context of the way(s) you want to win with this deck.

The second deck i see too much high CMC creatures, maybe add some Dark Rituals. About the part you say:

"the only problem being when he managed to pull out a protection from color of your choice sliver."

Remember the "DEBT" about protection: can't be Damaged, Enchanted/Equipped, Blocked, Targeted. That means if you problem is when he gets protection (from black) you need to use ways without target and damage. For example the mutilate: don't target (apply to all creatures) and don't do damage (-1/-1 is not damage) so with mutilate you can kill creatures with protection from black.

You need to read LITERALLY.

"Creatures entering in the battlefield don't cause abilities to trigger" = Abilities triggered by a ETB (Entering The Battlefield) don't trigger.

I have a deck with this combo too (and other creatures with similar negative-effects) plus things like Trickbind (Split second and counter triggered ability = if you destroy torpor in response to a creature, i allow entering creature but in response counter negative triggered ability). BTW Allys decks are insta-destroyed with a torpor in game. I have to admit sometimes i have doubts too, last time I played my deck with Guttersnipe vs my deck with torpor and don't remembered Torpor only affects ETB triggers so i winned without apply Guttersnipe effects.

In things like "you cast/play" like Emrakul the best you can do is is read careful:

* "play" means play succesful so you need to play the spell and next the ability triggers if conditions are OK. For example Eater Of Days says "when you play [...] skip two turns" so when the creature enters this trigger go to pile the two-turns-skip-effect (if Eater is countered, this ability don't trigger).

* "cast" means just cast. If one effect trigger when you cast, go to pile (over your spell so resolve before the spell you casted) and this triggered effect don't cancel if the spell(s) are countered. If emrakul is played from your hand, you have a extra turn before this creature ETB or is countered (in this example, can't be countered but is the same).

One example of "abusing" this cast mechanic i like is Livewire Lash he say: "Equipped creature gets +2/+0 and has "Whenever this creature becomes the target of a spell, this creature deals 2 damage to target creature or player."

Become target of a spell = become target of a cast.

* Opponent cast Lightning to this creature.
* You in response cast a instant with hexproof to this creature.

The pile look like this:

* Two damage triggered effect
* Hexproof effect
* Two damage triggered effect
* Lightning effect

2 dmg, hexproof, 2 dmg, lightning canceled but the 2dmg provoked by lightning spell don't countered. And the best thing is the damage is done by the creature (not by the equipment) so if the creature have extra abilitys that can trigger: lifelink for extra life, death touch for destroy creatures, wither for -1/-1 counters or infect (in a creature with infect is 100% bullying xD).

Hi!

I wanna request one feature (but this need discussion of how implement): collection recount. For example, if you have 200 cards from Shard of Alara edition and SOA edition have 229 cards (without basic lands) see in the form of:

- Shards of Alara 200/229 (See missing cards).

OFC this have inconvenets, for example the re-imprints in newer editions. But here enter the options of "Edit card details" actually implemented in deckbox... if one card is available in two editions and don't specificy what you have, add to "uncatalogued"

Is not about the error decklist, is about the "total cards in your inventory": if you add 1000 basic lands, your total inventory is all cards + 1000 basics but ok, is true: is not a priority option.

Hi!

I'm requesting a option for ignore basic lands in the decks (in the "cards listed in deck but don't have" and "Cost of cards you don't own"): in my inventory only have 1 swamp, 1 plains, 1 mountain, 1 island and 1 forest because I like know the exact number of unique's cards and total I have (except the basics... because is obvious all of us have a ton of this lands).

B) The option of "Deck in use" and the same new column but called "Cards in use".

Correction/Fix: Is more clear call "Cards used in another decks" to the column  compared to the "Cards in use" (easy minunderstanded to "Cards used in THIS deck" :-/ )

Hi!

When in your profile build a deck you can see the number of every card required for the deck (Count in this deck), "Wishlist count" and your total of this card (Inventory count).

But when have, for example, 10 fetchlands in total and uses a playset in one deck and another playset (8 in total) for another deck you can't know if you have 2 remain cards "available" for a third deck.

This becomes a major problem when have a great collection (or when you prefer build decks without switch cards/sleeves because play with a important number of decks with friends and don't have the time for it).

My proposal can go from two points with same results:

A) Add one new column to the right of "Inventory Count" called "Inventory available" plus a option for every deck called "Deck in use" (so if you have 3 cards "A" in inventory list and one in a "deck in use" the "Inventory Available" is 3 - 1 = 2).

Or

B) The option of "Deck in use" and the same new column but called "Cards in use".

The result is the same but I think the B) option requires touch less the logic of SQL DDBB...
