If you go look at his profile he hasn't even logged on since the 13th. I moved to deckbox.org.

That's not an answer.

Can we please get a heads up on when the fix will be out?

You said previously you were looking at Tuesday. Did that happen?

Hour of Devastation release is tomorrow. Will we be seeing that soon?

Archenemy: Nicol Bolas is out there now too.

Launch cards haven't been updated in awhile.

Are we going to see updates from promos soon?

Is the Welcome Deck 2017 coming soon?

Also, on the topic of filtering, currently the predicate text box cuts off text on the right of the screen, making it hard to work in there.

Example: Bosh, Iron Golem is a legendary artifact creature with mana cost {8} and the ability "{3}{R}, Sacrifice an artifact: Bosh, Iron Golem deals damage equal to the sacrificed artifact's converted mana cost to target creature or player." Bosh's color identity is red.

You can do it already in all the versions of iMtG which support Predicate, so I guess 3+ years back from now?

Try this as your Predicate and keep it in your Bookmarks:

not card.cost contains[cd] 'U' and not card.text contains[cd] '{U}' and not card.cost contains[cd] 'B' and not card.text contains[cd] '{B}' and not card.cost contains[cd] 'G' and not card.text contains[cd] '{G}' and not card.cost contains[cd] 'W' and not card.text contains[cd] '{W}'

Does this also take all hybrid costs into account?

I understand that this is something you can do by predicate, but that's pretty unwieldy. It would be nice if you added a slider to the color area to search for color identity instead of just spell color. Also, this doesn't address the issue with colorless spells that I brought up as well where you can't do a simple search for colorless spells because they are mutually exclusive in the search by items with no color in their cost and items with {C} in their cost

If you go to a set that has Ancestral Vision in it and then filter by blue cards, Ancestral Vision is not in the list. However, it has a blue color indicator, meaning it's a blue spell, not a colorless spell. So it should be treated as a blue spell in every regard.

How about something directly from the rules for that?

903.4. The Commander variant uses color identity to determine what cards can be in a deck with a certain commander. The color identity of a card is the color or colors of any mana symbols in that card's mana cost or rules text, plus any colors defined by its characteristic-defining abilities (see rule 604.3) or color indicator (see rule 204). #
Example: Bosh, Iron Golem is a legendary artifact creature with mana cost {8} and the ability "{3}{R}, Sacrifice an artifact: Bosh, Iron Golem deals damage equal to the sacrificed artifact's converted mana cost to target creature or player." Bosh's color identity is red.

Yeah, color identity already has a very real definition as pointed out above.

I still think there are issues with the current color setup as is. It's ignoring the color indicator of a card.

Any thoughts from Piotr on these things?

I love the idea of a color identity filter.

I would have last print to be on by default. I almost never use that filter.

On the idea of color and filtering, there's currently some issues with filtering for colorless cards. If you select no color and you filter only selected, you get the colorless cards except for the ones with (C) in their casting cost. Then if you select the (C) option and filter by only that you get only cards with (C) in their casting cost. There's no way to get all cards that are colorless.

Another issue is that when filtering by blue, you don't get cards like {Ancestral Vision}. The card doesn't have a color in it's casting cost but does have the blue color indicator so it should be treated as a blue card.
