The Can give / receive column has a ? with mouseover text that states that this is the number of cards the user needs from you and the number you need from them, but it's not. It's the total value of those cards on both sides. They could have one card on your trade list worth $80 or four cards you need at $20/each.

While the value isn't terrible information, I would much rather have that column show the number of cards as I think it's intended.

Deliberate attempt to circumvent Deckbox rules... I'm pretty sure that's ban-worthy.

Yes, it is.

There are a few people on this site who had 5+ copies of the Scavenging Ooze promo in their tradelist only a couple days after the offer went live. They probably bought one copy of the game and shopped the code around to multiple stores. There is nothing that you, as Deckbox, can do to prevent them from doing that, but putting a stop to trading the codes is a good move on your end.

That's what was told to me when I asked about the legitimacy of the promo codes. To me, that implies that they cashed out Steam credit to buy enough copies of the game to actually have all the promo codes they were trading, which is clearly not the case.

I think the mods were told one thing and, in reality, it's something entirely different going on.

Yea, that dude tried to dump a bunch of codes on me. He told me that he, or whoever, cashed out a game credit card on copies of DotP and that's why he had so many to trade... so I took a look at his current pending trade list.

At the time, Cowbunga2 had 24 Pending Trades. Of those 24, 17 of them were offering Scavenging Ooze promo codes for other people's cards. In those 17 trades, Cowbunga2 was offering a total of 61 promo codes and, with the cheapest price on Steam being $9.99, that means they would have had to cash out over $600 on credit.

Bullshit.

OK, for once I had the good luck. Box contained Xenagos, Erebos, Nylea, Fleecemane Lion and some scry land. Only used Erebos, but he kicked some ass. Went 4-0 and got 10 packs, which I haven't opened yet. Good times.

I, too, am building a Restore Balance deck. Other than the lands, you should be able to get just about everything by trading/selling your two Fullminator Mages. I don't think any of the cards (other than lands) are over 2-bucks. Good luck!

Maybe the boxes are mapped and maybe they're not, but the important thing to remember here is... not everyone even knows that box-mapping is possible. There are threads on reddit at least once a month where someone talks about it and I see a few replies asking what box-mapping even is or if it's possible. So, while few of us made no attempt to sugar-coat our replies, I think we were providing valuable incite into what could very well have happened to those two boxes.

Hell, I'm almost tempted to drop some cash on the boxes just so I can post the list of rares/mythics. If I was wrong, and there were some Sphinx's Revelation, Deathrite Shaman or Shock Lands, I would be happy to include an apology to the guy... but I'm thinkin' there won't be.

Delivery confirmation is the answer to most of the issues people post about in this forum. In the case of this trade, both parties could quickly and easily see if said package ever left it's origin or if it just sat there with the status, "Electronic Shipping Info Received" which means a shipping label was created, but nothing was ever mailed. DC would also show if the package was weirdly routed to Alaska and then disappeared, which gives you solid proof to file a complaint with the USPS for a lost package. As it stands, these guys have to say, "derp, I mailed an envelope from this place a couple weeks ago, did you lose it?"

Also, the whole $1.69 + sleeve/top-loader + bubble mailer... that's what we call the cost of doing business. If you can't afford it, you probably shouldn't be trading on the Internet. I find it funny that people will double sleeve a card and put their own playmat over a store mat, but when it comes time to mail a card... here you go USPS, take this $50 card in a regular envelope, add it to the 440,000,000 other pieces of mail you received today and we'll all just hope everything goes as planned.

As someone who is all about DC and proper packaging material, I wouldn't mind if those items were added as check boxes when creating a new trade. I look through someone's stuff, pick out $27 in cards, check the boxes for DC/bubble mailer and it adds another $3 bringing my total to $30. If I receive the cards and they're in a standard envelope and/or a DC was never provided... boom, negative feedback.

The one thing I think would be nice (really nice) to see on the forums, maybe in the box-area with your name and other info, is some detail on what sort of trades are pending on that username. Perhaps icons with numbers beside them, just like each user's actual trade page. If not on the forum, for whatever reason, then it would be great to have it on each user's home page so I can immediately see what someone has going on.

It would be nice to see, at a quick glance, that a guy asking to trade for Tarmogoyf x4 has...

Multi-direction arrow -  27 active trades
Bus with down arrow - 16 packages on the way to him
Bus with up arrow - 2 packages shipped out

I can immediately see that said guy is either about to scam his way off Deckbox or he's just amazingly slow and probably someone I don't want to trade with either way.

Am I the only person that didn't print out the same code multiple times and take it to different stores?
