[color=blue]Add preconstructed decks to your inventory quickly and easily using CSV files![/color]
Instructions: Open the above webpage, find and download the CSV for the product you want, then add it to your inventory via "Add Cards > From a CSV file". Note that this will add to your inventory rather than replace your inventory.
Contributions: Please help me build and maintain a list of CSVs. You can either create a CSV for a missing product and upload it via a comment on this thread (and then I'll get it added to the above webpage). Or you can just confirm the accuracy of the CSV files that I've created (usually only the basic land artworks need to be verified). You can find a list of unverified and missing CSVs on the webpage.
Thank Yous: Thankful for this resource and want to take a minute to let me know? You can do so here! :)

Original Proposal
===========
I propose a new method of adding cards from preconstructed decks, for those of us who have the complete product and just want to add all applicable cards.
What I'd like to see as the ultimate version of this feature is the ability to add all the cards in a preconstructed sealed product to your inventory, all at once. I can see this being possible from 2 places:
This is different from the already existing Edition Checklist and "Add one of each card" feature in 3 ways:
I have a lot of sealed preconstructed products. I want to include them in my owned cards, but I don't want to open them just to determine what set a card is from or how many of each specific printing of a basic land there is.
As a temporary solution, as well as a contribution toward the permanent solution, we could start a community effort to upload CSV files of any preconstructed products that we own and have already opened, but that we can also guarantee accuracy on (in regards to the set each card is from as well as to the quantity of each collector number). While we're waiting for the Deckbox feature, users could go to this community resource and download the needed CSV files. This collection of files will also greatly assist the Deckbox team by providing them the necessary data to implement this feature.

What I'd like to see as the ultimate version of this feature is the ability to add all the cards in a preconstructed sealed product to your inventory, all at once. I can see this being possible from 2 places:
- There would be a 5th option in the "Add Cards" area called "Add From Sealed Product", in which you can filter all the preconstructed products, select one, and add a full set of cards, as many times as you need to.
So if you have, e.g. 2 KTK Event Decks, you could filter by product ("event deck") and/or by associated set ("Khans of Tarkir"), tap the deck to select it, then tap an "Add" button twice.
- If you go to the Editions page, and then go to the "Sealed products for this edition" link, each product could have a similar "Add to Inventory" button.
This is different from the already existing Edition Checklist and "Add one of each card" feature in 3 ways:
- Most sealed products have multiples of many cards, not just 1x, so the proposed Add Sealed feature would add the correct number of each card.
- Not all sealed products are its own edition. While currently I can copy and paste a decklist for a Commander or Duel Deck into the "Add From List" field and then select the appropriate edition in "Default Values", this method wouldn't work for products like event and intro decks.
- For collectors who are as anal as I am, the correct quantities of each basic land by collector number in the product will be added. So e.g. rather than Duel Decks: Jace vs. Vraska having simply 21 Islands, it would add 5 of Island (# 37), 4 of Island (# 38), and so on.
I have a lot of sealed preconstructed products. I want to include them in my owned cards, but I don't want to open them just to determine what set a card is from or how many of each specific printing of a basic land there is.
