Hi. I'm wondering if there is anything in the works for being able to put a specific version of a card into a deck. Not just the latest edition printed. The ability to do this is something I've been waiting wanting for a long time. I'd want to know both the edition and if foil or not. Hope this is something that can be implemented.

Oh man that's some amazing news.
Coming soon! (I know I said that a lot, but this time I'm really trying to finish it already!)
This is great news. While you're working on it, there's another related feature that might be easy for you to do as it's so similar:
Changing algorithm for choosing individual card edition/price displayed by a deck - or allowing a user site-wide setting to choose. Personally, if I'm not able to assign a specific edition of card to a deck, I want the edition which has lowest cost.
Being a Pauper player, I almost always look for the least expensive price on cards so when I am trying to build a deck, I want to know the lowest cost of cards I'm missing. I'm not sure what algorithm is currently used to determine card edition within a deck, but it is definitely not lowest cost, and often the edition displayed is not even in my inventory.
For example - Urza's Mine shows as Ninth Edition, $6.47 in my various Tron decks. The reality is that I don't own any from Ninth edition. I have a bunch from Chronicles that are worth just over $1.00 for the most part, and if I wanted to buy more I would be paying less than $1.50 for each Urza's Mine - I would never consider buying 9th Edition Urza's Mine.
Some Pauper $60 or $70 Pauper decks look on Deckbox as if they cost over $150 because of the editions they're pulling from. If the algorithm displayed editions that had the lowest current cost of card, I would get a much more realistic sense of how much I need to pay for "cards not owned" and therefore make the "cards not owned" number a much more helpful number.
I have no idea if players in formats other than Pauper would care about such a feature.
