I have a Death Spark Card from the alliances deck it is supposed to be card 103/144, mine reads as 70/144. any ideas whats up with this?

Everywhere I'm seeing the number should be #70 ( https://scryfall.com/card/cst/70/death-spark). That also aligns in the numbering structure when you look at the whole set: https://scryfall.com/sets/cst

Why are you thinking it should be 103?

I got #103 from https://deckbox.org/mtg/Death%20Spark?printing=6004
i have just started cataloging cards my son gave me years ago.

ah, you found a cool "bug" (sorta).

Alliances had multiple art variations for some cards. If you look here you can see that there are multiple ver. of some set numbers, usually with an a, b, etc. In newer sets that have this kind of variation, Deckbox uses a note:


On Alliances, it doesn't appear this technique is in use, so it shows all the numbers ignoring that many of them should be the same number, just variants:


If you removed all the variants the set numbers would be correct again.

You can report this as a "Something's Wrong" in the help menu, and link to this discussion for further explanation in your ticket.

Good catch!
