v3.8 Card Pages, Market, Decklist Printing (Page 1 of 2)

Sebi, any chance an option to display or print a decklist as just text can be added back? the new print thing is really cool, no doubt, but I did like the old display just to quickly copy/paste a decklist.

I think having the Purchase Opportunities being the default tab on Marketplace would be better the having the "Popular cards" tab show up first. Most people will want to buy the cards they need, not the popular sellers. Just a thought.

On the card details page, can we show by default our "Trades" as well? I'd like to get all of the info that's in the pop-up dialog into a single view -- we're almost there, but it seems like just the trades info is missing. Thanks!

Will do!

This sounds like a bug, you should only see the cheapest one being pitched. Will check it out, thank you for reporting. Do you remember which card it was by any chance?

I've seen it on multiple cards. Like, right now it's showing adventuresON's copy of Overgrown Tomb for $9.49. Well, let's check out the Overgrown Tomb page:

https://deckbox.org/mtg/Overgrown%20Tomb?printing=20609

xmitter has a copy for $9. adventuresON has an LP copy for $8.49 as well. I can understand excluding the copy from the German shipper or the LP copy, but why pitch me the $9.49 copy? Okay, if you add in shipping they're tied... but wait, if I refresh now it's offering me Ryan Clark's copy of Steam Vents:

https://deckbox.org/mtg/Steam%20Vents?printing=20627

$8.33 + $5.05 (!!) < $9.09 + $1.94

So I'm not sure what's going on here - clearing the recommendations aren't factoring in shipping costs. Best guess is that the Overgrown Tomb that isn't explicitly being flagged as English (adventureON's copy) is not being treated as identical to the one that is when it comes to generating a recommendation.

[Edit]

Okay, now it's recommending me Stomping Grounds from boosterdraft at $8. But not only is boosterdraft an international seller, but Gund Wehsling is also selling a copy at $6.81. Never mind that the shipping is insane on it, that didn't seem to factor in with Steam Vents..

Added.

Maybe I'm alone here, but I'm actually sad to see this go.  I agree that the tabs weren't ideal, but the ability to quickly search and then add something to my inventory/tradelist/wishlist right there, inline from any page was very useful, and I found myself using it all of the time.

Either way, I understand and definitely appreciate all of the improvements in general.  This site is amazing!

I am glad to hear about both of these fixes! I can’t count the times that i have traded the same card twice (or three times) and had to scramble to find one locally. Can you also add the functionality on the incoming side? Or at least and option to remove them? i also find myself  trading for multiple copies of the same card even if I don’t need them. Yes I know I could be more vigilant in looking over the trades, but when I have 10-20 trades going on simultaneously and some of them are for 300+ cards, it gets tedious. I also notice that if I offer a trade where the card is not in my inventory it shows red in the trade to let me know I am potentially trading something I don't have (which is awesome) however there is no such highlight on the incoming side when I am trading for something not on my wishlist. Any chance of that happening?

As a side note, is there anything in the works about updating "strict matching" so that it is actually strict? Right now it shows me all conditions instead of the condition I am looking for. It also shows foils when I am looking for non-foils.

I too love this site and preach it's awesomeness to everyone I trade with locally.

Thanks for the great updates, and thanks for working with me to make tournament registration easier for everyone. 

The feedback on the release where we introduced this was almost 100% negative. Now it seems when we undo it, it is negative again .

We are trying to monetize this website, and the ads you see there are part of our trying to do so. Please understand that the continued development and maintenance of deckbox depends on it being a self-sustaining business, which it is now not, as I am working full time with 0 income, living on my savings as of now. But I do believe in the successful future of deckbox, and I'm trying to make it happen.

I will consider adding an option in your settings so you can disable the ads if they bother people so much.

I know I always voice my opinion, but I like the changes.  Good improvements come by trying new things and getting feedback.  There will always be those who don't like it though. 

As far as the ads go, I don't mind them but they should be more targeted.  You have a lot of information about what we want, if you can show me cards from my wishlist then you might have better success selling cards.  I saw a temple of whatever come up (a scry land) and I have zero interest in any scry lands.  Also you should show the shipping price.  I'm often clicking on these things to see the price is actually $2-3 different than what is shown due to shipping costs.  I do check deckbox first when buying cards, but I mostly just trade.  The purchases I have made from the site have went very smooth though. 

I'd also like to see a visual spoiler mode when looking at a set.  I'm still learning everything from Khans and I'm a very visual person, being able to see the set as a whole laid out as spoilers would allow me to quickly pick the cards I might want to wishlist.   Basically on this page where it says "admin" at the top right (which probably doesn't need to be visible to me) I'd like to see a button to view it as a visual spoiler instead.  I realize I can do it this way but if I'm already looking at the set, why not give that option there as well?  Obviously this is not a priority, just something I was thinking about.
