Since several users have complained that the filter row on the card pool is a bit slow, I decided to add a quicker search on the top.

See the screenshot below:

Is there a way you could possibly implement a way that you can see a list of cards from a set that you do not have any cards from so that if your a collector you can easily see what cards your missing? Kinda like putting a Set/Inventory like you can do Card pool/inventory. unless theres already a way you can do this and i just havent figured it out yet. i think that would be pretty cool, as of now ive been adding all cards from the card pool and deleting the ones i own then printing a list to see which ones i need, but if you could make this easier and less time consuming that would be pretty sweet.

This is a real bummer, but not surprising as WotC makes a lot of money selling virtual cards and they would loose market share if they allowed for play any other way.

I'm not a fan of their tactics, but I get it and don't blame them for wanting to make money on the game they designed and developed.

That said, I've often dreamed of making my own multiplayer engine that would allow for greater customization and features. The only way I could think of getting away with it would be to make it a generic card game engine which could be easily customized to emulate specific card games. The main reason I haven't pursued this project is that I'm sure WotC would send their legal dogs as soon as the application tried to access their card art.

Just my $0.02

I would also like to know where this is at as I'm trying to decide whether it will be worth spending $20 to purchase MTG Studio. An update on progress towards new features would definitely help.

Autocompletion is ready as well.

Paging is done as well.
The cards are displayed in different color depending on their mana cost.

Bugs :: 1 card wrong in all imports of ZEN theme decks from MTGO

individualist — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 09:32:05 GMT

Author: individualist
Subject: 1 card wrong in all imports of ZEN theme decks from MTGO
Posted: Sun Jan 31, 2010 11:32 am (GMT 2)

For example: If I import Rise of the Vampires.dek from MTGO into MTGO and MTG Studio, all the cards match, except for 1.

MTGO has: "Malakir Bloodwitch"
Whereas MTG studio has: "Acolyte of Xathrid"

The former is the card that actually comes in this deck.
Similar seems to hold true for all of the ZEN theme decks...

Also, this might be relevant: The incorrect card in each desk is the Foil card supplied in that deck...

Sorry if this already a known issue,

Eric

It may be annoying to get asked but there doesn't seem to be many updates in this thread.

How goes the multi-player component? Is it on semi-permanent hiatus until you get the Studio perfect or is it still being actively work on?
