As ever, I (and all your other users) appreciate the constant work you're putting in to improve the site.  Thanks Sebi!!!

This is actually an interesting idea, if it could be incorporated easily enough.  I'm not big into the "investing" aspect, but I do buy a lot of singles, and it's nice to be able to look back and see when I've made a good purchase in hindsight, or learn from a bad purchase.

As someone who currently doesn't use proxies but is on the verge of jumping into them due to ever-increasing prices, I'd like to +1 this idea as well!

Sebi,

Any chance you can incorporate displaying both sides of double-faced cards whenever we mouse-over a card on the site?  So that we don't have to open up the card in a separate page to see the back-side?  Just a small QoL thought I had this morning.

Thanks,
Tim!

Oh dang! That's a bummer your work won't allow it. Guess that keeps you from using the custom Deckbox styles I linked to earlier, too.

One thing you might try, assuming your office computers have accessible USB ports, is to use a portable version of Google Chrome from a thumb drive. That's what I used to do when I was in your work situation. Don't know if the portable apps have been kept up-to-date since I used it, but worth looking into if you'd like that freedom at work.

(I would imagine you might also be able to get IT at your work to install that specific extension n0sk mentioned on the grounds of "accommodations" if you argue that a lot of the computer work you have to do is too bright for your eyes. I've gotten special IT tweaks this way.)

There's also some hacky solutions for phones, too, that I'd found when searching a while back. I never got around to trying them, but supposedly they allowed you to have your own custom user stylesheets for different sites.

Sadly, as I'm a US Military guy, there's no flexibility on systems adjustments.  USB usage is a no-go as well.  You plug something into a system and the system locks down.  It's all good, though.  At the moment DeckBox is blocked in the office - still trying to get it whitelisted for morale purposes and not being "gaming".  I'm sure it won't work, but at least I'll have tried.

In the end, I'm still totally in love with the functionality yet simplicity of DeckBox and will continue to maintain a premium membership for as long as I maintain a collection.  Sebi does an utterly amazing job on the site!

Sebi,

Any chance a Dark Mode is in the works for DeckBox?  I spend a good portion of my time on DeckBox in a darkened environment due to the office I work in.  Forcing a Dark Mode in Chrome as a whole isn't the most friendly thing.  Having a Dark Mode native to the site would be something I'd appreciate, and I'm sure many others would utilize it as well, even if its something exclusive to premium membership.

DeckBox Team,

Would there be a way to incorporate an "Add to Inventory/Collection" option in the Wish List?  Whenever I acquire cards from my Wish List right now, I have to individually edit each card to add it to my inventory.  Is it possible to implement a feature similar to selecting cards and adding them to a particular deck, but instead selecting cards from the Wish List and adding them to our collections based on whatever characteristics are on the Wish List card?

Wonderful addition, Sebi.  I'm trying to get used to the mobile pages, but always find myself going back to the desktop version, so this is great!

Any way to implement moving decks around on a touch screen?  Whether via a series of drop downs or otherwise?  It's one thing I can't do at all on my phone, so I always have to wait until I get to my laptop or desktop for it.

Sebi,

As always, appreciate the updates!

Minor inconvenience I'm seeing with an EDH deck is the site saying multiple copies of Rat Colony makes it invalid.  I haven't checked to see if Relentless Rats and/or Persistent Petitioners cause the same error in a deck, though.

Thanks!

I said this in a bug fix post about 2 months back, don't think anything was said about fixing it but I'll +1 this


I discovered your post about in while browsing through the forums after having already made my post :-P  I haven't seen a lot of activity from Sebi of late, so hopefully he's been getting some R&R with the holidays and recharging the batteries, so to speak.  He does amazing work on the site and sometimes I feel guilty pointing out errors/glitches to him.

Sebi,

Minor issue I just discovered:  I have a deck labeled as Commander and have multiple copies of Rat Colony in the deck, but the site tells me I'm restricted to one copy, despite the card allowing any number of copies in a deck.

Thanks!

* added Game Night 2019 to editions page
* added correct edition icons for Game Night 2019
* fixed misc format legality issues
* fixed card import in decks (Arena format) for adventure cards and others with split names

As always Sebi, thanks for all the work!!!

Sebi, the five Promo cards from Game Night 19 currently show as not legal in any format, to include "Other", which is what I label my Game Night decks as.  They should be Legal in (at a minimum) Legacy, Vintage, and Commander.

Additionally, the Gatherer link to each of the five cards on their respective Deckbox page is incorrect and just redirects you to the main search page for Gatherer.

EDIT: One last thing, more of a request - can we have the Game Night 19 icon changed from the Red Ribbon promo icon to the appropriate set icon when you have a chance please?   Thanks!!!

Also wanted to give you a heads up that Magic Game Night 2019 released recently with 5 brand new, exclusive cards.  They currently are not loaded on DeckBox.

Sebi actually needs to add all the other cards that have the Game Nights 2019 set symbol as well (basically, any of the non-M20 cards were reprinted under the GN2 edition). Full list here

Good point!  Hadn't paid attention that other cards had the new set symbol.

Also wanted to give you a heads up that Magic Game Night 2019 released recently with 5 brand new, exclusive cards.  They currently are not loaded on DeckBox.  They are as follows:
Highcliff Felidar
Sphinx of Enlightenment
Calculating Lich
Fiendish Duo
Earthshaker Giant

Sebi,

Also looks like C19 lands are showing up in the Mana Curve chart at the top of decks as 0 CMC, which was never the case for lands in the past.

Awesome work on getting everything added!

One issue I'm seeing so far that I haven't seen mention of is that whenever I hover over an Eldraine card inside of a decklist or in the Card Database, it doesn't display the card image.  It only displays a MtG card back image as a placeholder.  There are a small handful that do work, including the Creature/Adventure cards and few others, but the very large majority are not displaying card image.

EDIT: Also, noticed the card image linked to the Sorcery "Joust" actually displays the Artifact Equipment "Jousting Lance".

Sebi,

My snow deck reflects the snow mana, but also reflects that same mana as white mana.  I've verified I have no White in my deck, so the snow is the only thing it could be counting.

Thanks!

Deckbox Team,

Is there any way to adjust the Deck Lists to NOT count Tokens as part of the total number of cards in any given deck?  I'd love to add tokens to my decks, but I hate how they throw off the deck totals right now.

Thanks!

Wooooooohoooooo!  Thanks Sebi!  Been waiting for the import before I started brainstorming new deck ideas and updating existing decks.  Thanks again!!!

I think that it already has one. Take a Look at my Duel Decks: Zendikar vs Eldrazi it lists all the tokens at the bottom in their own section. I added them to the deck via the single car add option.

If I miss interrupted what you mean please explain, because as the Joker said in Batman "if Knowledge is Power than A god am I." and I want all the knowledge I can get.

So I think OP is looking for a separate section that wouldn't count against the card total for the deck count maybe?  Similar to the Sideboard. 

On a related note, if something like this could be implemented, it'd be awesome to have some form of suggestion featuring that could determine what tokens we needed for any specific deck without having to manually review each card.  Probably a bit more complicated to implement than it seems on the surface, but would be quite handy!  I like having all my needed tokens with me for any particular deck I play and this would be a good way to keep track of them without having to add them to the card count for the main deck or sideboard.
