Two suggestions for features related to precons:
1) A 'add precon to collection' option. Have the option to add, select the precon from a dropdown, click 'add' and then 'confirm'.
Adding precon lists is always a little cumbersome, especially since precons never change their contents (theoretically). If you buy a precon it would make sense to add all the cards in it with a single function rather than have to go through the list manually every time.
A confirm button would be useful since a misclick on which precon to add would be very annoying to fix afterwards, so it would be a very minor inconvenience for a massive convenience improvement.
2) Somewhat related to the above: An option to add a new deck with an existing precon list. If possible, the option would pull from the existing inventory.
The option should add the decklist from the selected precon, and use the exact precon inventory cards where possible. If the precon has not been added to the inventory yet fully, it should add all matching cards from the inventory (on names) where possible and leave the others as 'not in inventory'.
Similarly to 1), this would add a massive convenience for deckbuilding and modifying precons. Even if a decklist would be added without checking the inventory first (letting the user choose the version of the card to use) would be a huge convenience boost.
EDIT: Adding *all* precons in existence is probably not really necessary, as older precons get proportionally less bought and added, or have already been added to inventories. However, it would be nice to have this option for the precons going forward from whenever the option gets implemented, or at least from the last couple of recent sets. Older decks would be something along the lines of 'whenever we have time we'll add older decks one at a time' or something. :)
