I'm not sure if there's a way, I went through each page and looked for the little icon.  But I only had 59 pages...

Download a csv of your collection, sort by the promo entry (if you had it marked) or edition (if you left it blank)

Thanks! Also Duress promo image is bllllurrrryyyyyy

Re: v3.1: Promo Editions in db, Inventory Privacy, The Meadery Interview

I hope this is not a stupid request, but is there a way to add EMBLEM cards to this list? What about tokens? I know, this probably isn't important to most people, but since you're making the card lists "complete" you may as well add them in. Just a thought.

Suture priest is listed as having a Game Day edition actually.

Phyrexian Rager is listed by magiccards.info as having a media printing: http://magiccards.info/mbp/en/14.html

Hello,

As most of you know, our card database has been based 100% on the information provided by Gatherer (the official Wizards db). But gatherer is not complete, sadly, and many promo printings were missing, along with other sets such as holiday specials.

http://deckbox.org/system/images/forum/3_1_ann/bunny.png

Happily though, the Easter Bunny has now added these missing sets to our database, so users can properly tag their cards. The old promo flag is still here, but we will phase it out in a future release as it is not necessary anymore.

The new editions and printings we added

15th Anniversary
Grand Prix
Pro Tour
Magic Game Day Cards
Worlds
World Magic Cup Qualifiers
Dragon Con
Prerelease Events
Release Events
Magic: The Gathering Launch Parties
Summer of Magic
WPN/Gateway
Champs
Two-Headed Giant Tournament
Arena League
Friday Night Magic
Magic Player Rewards
Super Series
Happy Holidays
Judge Gift Program
Portal Demogame
European Land Program
Guru
Asia Pacific Land Program
WotC Online Store
Celebration Cards
Media Inserts
Legend Membership
Duels of the Planeswalkers
Coldsnap Theme Decks
Multiverse Gift Box Cards
Anthologies
Deckmasters
Unhinged Alternate Foils
Introductory Two-Player Set
Collector's Edition
International Collectors' Edition

Happy Easter!

Just a little semantic thingy: would you mind giving the icons used for the promo's file names that reflect them? I wrote a tool that allows me to use deckbox as a sweet trading platform and database and get offline snippets from it to save for in-person trades. I use the icon filenames to detect the edition of cards since no other similar data is available; but all these new sets use the same file for their icon.

Re: v3.1: Promo Editions in db, Inventory Privacy, The Meadery Interview

The problem is there are no official edition icons for these sets sad

That's fine, just having 20 files with different names and the same content would be awesome. Additionally, this would easily allow you to just replace the icon later, if you do obtain newer, more representative icons for them.
Edit: alternatively, you could add alt-text for the set-images, which contains the full name and abbreviation. The "alt" property in HTML is specifically designed to show if the image can't be loaded, so it should be used anyway!

You are incorrect in both cases. Firstly Suture Priest is added as Game Day promo, not Media Insert. Secondly both of those cards have special versions:
http://www.magiclibrarities.net/749-rar … ml#card004
http://www.magiclibrarities.net/134-rar … ml#card002
To give you some credit I'm pretty sure Suture Priest was just a foiled version that was given at Game Day events, but I don't have one to compare so, eh, lets trust other resources if all of them agree on something.

Sorry for repeating but my browser decided that there was no second page of that thread. hmm

I realize I missed the Cardz promo of Phyrexian Rager and have since found one and purchased it. As for the Suture Priest, does that even really count? It's literally the exact same as the ones from the set.

Yep, that's a good place for now, I'm fixing both types of issues at the same time.

I would say that it counts, though it is the same as the one from the set, they were sent to the stores in sealed packs (of two I believe) which means you could in theory acquire a pack of promo Suture Priests if that is something that interests you.

Re: v3.1: Promo Editions in db, Inventory Privacy, The Meadery Interview

the new version seems to replace apostrophes with a string of weird characters... eg:

"Feedback for Ryan Commins:  +1 - Great trader, don't worry about intercontinental shipping here "

perhaps it's something worth looking into smile

Re: v3.1: Promo Editions in db, Inventory Privacy, The Meadery Interview

To be clear, I'm with you on this. From what I know this card does not differ in any way from "normal" one so it shouldn't be treated as such. Because when we start differentiating cards by from which pack they came then only madness lies ahead...

OK, I will report any further problems of such nature there.

If an inventory is set to private, users can still select cards from your inventory to add to trades. Can this be fixed, please?
