I'm older than dirt and was around before the Ice Age - back in an era where I actually tossed around an unprotected Chaos Orb and didn't know any better because Unlimited was the current set at the time.

Now trying to get back into it a decade later, I don't even know to play anymore.  You can't win with a doubly Unstable Mutated Flying Man in this day and age ... ;)

It could also serve as one heck of a surprise if someone plays a card with an effect to randomly steal a monster from you and put it directly into play - and found that. Not sure what cards could specifically force that, but there must be a few...

Nice. That's what I had hoped to find, but hadn't had the convenience to sit down and figure out - if there was a way to search and see how many valid Red Uncommons I had in my collection for the Extended format. (Well, not that SPECIFIC situation, but you get the idea.)

And as long as I'm only viewing the "text list" and not the virtual cards, I don't seem to run into that card limit.

Good times. :)

I've made several different binders in iMtG to mirror my "real life" binders which are sorted by color.

I noticed that when I get to around 200 cards or so, I can't add more cards from within the binder (there's no empty "last page" to scroll to) and I can't see any cards on later pages even if there are more than 200 in that binder. It just stops before it gets to the final cards and won't scroll further.

Is this a known capacity issue? And if so, is there some way to filter by type (rarity, creature/instant/etc) when looking at the cards in the binder? I know you can SORT by various classes, but it might be easier to be able to "turn off" all creatures in a binder if you just want to see all Sorceries, etc.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a simple solution again; I'm not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed sometimes. :)

Yeah, there's wisdom in that, I suppose. And even if nothing new gets implemented, the sheer convenience of having my collection in digital form when October rolls around and I need to rotate certain "staple cards" out of my deck will be worth the price of admission. :)

(Buys all)

I may pass on the scanner because it's not really practical on my iPad, but I suspect there may be a beer in his future before it's all said and done. :D

Use it on landscape mode.

Duh. Guess who had his rotation locked? :)

I knew I was probably writing a small essay for something that could be answered in ten words or less. Thanks.

I definitely like the app and the convenience it offers (organizing one's collection is a lot easier than when I last played Magic over a decade ago!) but I'm trying to figure out the fastest way to input my entire collection.

Is there some quick way to select that you own a copy of a card from the database? Or do you have to select the card, scroll to the bottom, and enter the quantity there?

I was thinking it might be handy to have an "owned yes/no" button by each card that you could enable at the touch of ... well, a button, indicating that you have at least one copy of one version of that card, and quickly zip through an entire card set to mark which ones you own without actually needing to "view" a single card.

Or maybe add a "toggle" option for where the binder/deck section is displayed on the card screen? If you're entering cards, you would turn that toggle on so the binder/deck options appear at the very top, allowing you to add cards without scrolling down each time. If it's off, they show up at the bottom as normal.

Sorry if there's already a simple way to do this that I'm missing, or if I'm rehashing an old topic. First post and all. :)
