Title: Promos
Post by: reezel on February 06, 2013, 04:01:11 PM
I was wondering if we could have a flag for promos similar to the foil flag? I am trying to gather some of the promos for different sets and it would be helpful to be able to mark them as such.

[I'm not sober] I mean, +1 man but I think you should think more. The more I love you so I can get better at understanding how not to make people think.

WTF am I talking about.

I was born in communists' Poland. I was raised on books like polish version of 1984, say Paradyzja by Janusz Zajdel. We would call '.loving. communists' 'loving brothers', 'ganja' 'legalities' and the like.

Is there a difference between the polish 1984 and the normal English one that say I in the states have read?

Well, after all that...is there any chance the request might become a reality?
Title: Re: Promos
Post by: Piotr on February 07, 2013, 02:45:46 PM
The problem is that the promos are already differentiated by their set (expansion). It shouldn't be a flag like foils. Say, all card prints in FNM expansion are promos. Another words, you can track the promos in a proper 'per expansion' way already, your idea is not only difficult to implement, it doesn't make much sense to me as a collector. As I collector, I want my iMtG binders reflect reality, no need for simplifications here.

Having said that, you're the Boss, on my TODO now.

I guess my question is how do I define the guild pack promos I have from Gatecrash, for an example. They are promos but they have the same set symbol as Gatecrash. I'd like to mark them in my database somehow as what they are.
Title: Re: Promos
Post by: Piotr on February 07, 2013, 03:10:31 PM
You raise a database related problem, nothing to do with magic binders. Is the card you think exists not in Card Database? Give me example card name and it should be fixed in database update.

These are some examples of the cards I am talking about. I am currently trying to collect them so that's why I requested it.

The real one in Poland was much less advanced technologically than in the book.
