Great Job, Deckbox Crew!  The nerd in me loves graphs, charts, and stats.  All the changes are really positive.

Looks like it doesn't keep track of multiples though, unless anyone else sees something I don't.

I suppose you could always grab a text list of each deck and use the text importer instead.

As always, awesome work!

Had a thought about a future functionality though: ability to just add all cards from a pre-built sealed product (Commander, Duel Decks, etc.) to your inventory. For example I've bought the full set of C15, but at this point pretty much have to add it all in card by card, and hopefully remember that there are 3 Lightning Greaves across the 5 decks.
Alternately, the option to "view text card list" in the full card database, given your current filters, would allow a rudimentary version of that.
Not sure how difficult this would be, just food for thought!

This is available with a pro account.  Well worth the few dollars a month if you engage in collection management at the level to which you refer.

How? I haven't been able to figure this out. (I've got a Premium account.)

Edition checklist, then choose an edition, and then click the Mass Input button at the top of right.

I also run a Ghave EDH deck and it's very fun to play.  I like your build as it is very similar to mine

I found myself wanted to see Sigil Captain less and less as I played with it because it only triggers on 1/1 creatures and doesn't trigger at all when cards like  Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, Creakwood Liege, Cathars' Crusade and Mirari's Wake are in play.  It seemed I either needed to commit to an all 1/1 build with little or no pump cards or abandon the sigil captain.  I chose the latter and am happy with my decision. 

Aside from that, the only glaringly odd choices are Birds of paradise and Tatterkite.  The birds are a dead draw beyond turn 3 or 4 and the tatterkite, well, it seems like it does the opposite of what you want it to do.

I will update this deck list to the current configuration and post back here when done.  Thanks for the input and you're right about the general; it was built before The Mimeoplasm existed.  I am currently using the other, other general that came in that commander deck, the one that lets you draw up to 7 cards during your upkeep.  She's pretty ridiculous in here TBH.

OK, that sounds good.  It will be a few weeks before I am able to make this decision.  If at that time the collection is still available I will make you an offer and we can go from there.

Thanks!

I just wanted to clarify your post in my native language.  You're selling the entire collection you posted?  if so, how much?  If not, are you trading it away?  In pieces or in full?

I may not be able to buy the collection outright but I'm considering it...

@Kissmy_kass, I am exhausted.  Thanks for reminding me.  I blame you.

@mistbeaver, I have tons of that stuff and you have plenty that I want.  Load up your wishlist with everything you want and I'm sure we can make a deal.

Asmodeanreborn is correct, that's just the cost of DC.  The total cost (minus the cost of the bubble mailer) is $2.80.

Tawnos is there a way we can attach (or Splice onto Arcane) the pulp of this thread to the main thread on shipping...It would be great to be able to direct fresh traders to a single thread

Thanks

Lol @ splice into Arcane.  I'll see what I can do but I'd prefer that a moderator of this forum do that instead.  I'm not sure my moderator status allows me to make changes to individual community forums.  Even if it does I wouldn't feel right sidestepping the authority of the Reddit MTG Trades moderators. 

Thrun?  Other moderators?  Thoughts?

I just use Paypal's label payment service and drop off my prepaid mailer in my mailbox in the morning. $1.64, and no one to complain about it.

I'll have to investigate this, thanks!  I certainly like the idea of not having to ship within the USPS business hours.

Something I learned a while ago when shipping with the fabulous folks at the USPS is that they like to gouge you for using their delivery confirmation services.  A simple, flat envelope - one with a single toploader in it, for example - can cost around $5 to ship if you add Delivery Confirmation (DC).  A bubble mailer isn't really any different, for a DC cost perspective. 

However, if you take that same bubble mailer and fold it in half before you seal it the charge for DC is around $0.80.  I don't have the rules memorized but it has something to do with the thickness of the envelope.  If it is something like 3/4" thick then it qualifies for the lower rate.  I've even had a USPS representative put a wedge of cardboard inside my envelope and tape it back up to help me avoid the increased charges.  You could probably do the same if folding wasn't an option.

I hope this helps my fellow traders save money!  Take care.

It's not exactly on your list but I have a foil, full-art zendikar mountain for trade.  Are you in the market for one of those?

Not really. They are honestly just worth too much to make me want to trade for them. At $8 I can get 3-4 Alpha/Beta lands which I prefer.

No worries, just thought I would ask.  Thanks for the speedy reply.

There isn't really a way to do that for trading purposes.  You have to review the card versions manually. sad

And you will be guaranteed more bang for your buck with a box (a minimum of 6 Mythic rares per box vs. fat pack that only guarantees 9 rares).

The mythic count per box swings wildly; I have seen as few as 3 and as many as 11.  I don't mean to be Correcty McCorrectorson but I don't want someone to shell out $100 based on the 6+ mythics per box statement solely.  You're still correct, though, boxes are the right choice if you have the money.
