v3.11 Flags: Oversized Misprint Altered Artist-Proof. Deprecated Promo (Page 1 of 2)

Wish I COULD fix the edition, but due to a little buggy thing that happens on my iPad, that will have to wait til I'm home & on my desktop.

Here's the bug: any card I have 4 different editions or more of, I can't change the edition when on my mobile device. Four is the threshold number. If I tap on the edition icon in edit mode when I have 1-3 editions, the box pops up for me to select an edition as it should. If there are 4 or more, however, and I tap on the edition icon (and the condition, language or extras icons too) it does nothing, just blinks for a moment. No amount of tapping brings up the selection menus after there are 4 editions present. I can change the inventory and tradelist numbers, but that's all.

Can you fix this bug? It's highly annoying! Thanks.

Xathrid Necromancer promo is not listed

Xathrid Necromancer Promo still not added.  When I bring it up, it still shows only 1 printing available.

Added Promo Xathrid Necromancer.

Nice. I'm not sure if you were just super-responsive to the complaints about the promo flag being deprecated or if you coincidentally had this planned to be rolled out when the issue arose, but this seems like a very thoughtful way to resolve the issue.

+1 million. If I want to see all my promos in one place, previously, it was a right pain in the ass. I had to filter inventory by "edition owned - is one of - [launch party, release event, prerelease, magic player rewards, DCI/gateway, worlds, champs, media inserts, etc., etc., etc. (...etc. There are a lot of different promo "editions")]" since there was no simple "is promo" filter until now. Now that there is one, I can easily see all my promos together with one simple filter, right? Right?! Except no, that's wrong actually, I still can't do that because you friggin' removed the promo tag from all my promo cards!!

Props for getting "is foil: FALSE" to work properly now, though.

Also, this broke one of my pending trades.  I have two FNM foil promo cards that were properly tagged with all the appropriate flags (FNM for the edition, with additional foil and promo tags because they are foil and they are promo cards) that had the promo tag forcibly removed, which meant the trade then included two "promo"-tagged cards that were no longer in my inventory.  I mean, it was easy enough to remedy, but you really should ask (or at least give a warning, and the option to export a collection as-is in case someone wants to keep a copy with the promo tags intact, for whatever reason) before you go mucking about with people's inventories like that.

Now, I've got the arduous task of going through all my "cards from weird-ass editions" (since they're not currently considered "promo" cards) and re-enabling the "promo" flag for all of them if I want my promo cards to actually say "promo."  Since, you know, they are.

I don't see a way to mark textless basic lands as such (no textless edition)...

Which edition are the lands from? If zendikar, you can mark them as being from zendikar, there are even separate printings there, mouse over the image icon to see if the land images matches the one you wish to import.

Hi Sebi,
I think this is largely a great move - thanks for all the continual improvements!  I would like to make a suggestion, though.  I occasionally use the promo flag as an indicator that there is something different about the card.  Maybe it's a condition issue that I would want to explain if it goes in a trade, or maybe it means I left the card somewhere and may not get it back - who knows?  The point is, it might be useful to have a catch-all generic flag that people can use however they want (and filter on it, too).  Thanks!

Fantastic!  And a "has note" filter?  You're the best!
