Search suggestion

[Birdbrain]

Some how allowing you to search by evergreen mechanics?

[Piotr]

Hmm?

[Gorzo]

I think he means adding a drop-down menu in the search filter perimeters (where you already have things like card type, set/expansion, power, toughness, etc) that would include the common keyword mechanics.

Not a bad idea, actually. Would be nice to filter by Deathtouch or lifelink for example, without having to type it in via filter by text (and would also keep the search text box free for further filtering). A small convenience, but would be convenient nonetheless.

[Piotr]

Not a bad idea.

[Birdbrain]

I'm just tried of typing a keyword in the search box and getting things that give creatures the keyword, rather than things with the keyword on them already

[Langku]

Ooooh. Yeah. Bird, Gorzo and Piotr, super keen idea.

[Piotr]

Who's idea is this? Can I use it when developing iMtG? According to iMtG law, please?

[Gorzo]

I would say it was Bird's idea. I only articulated

[Piotr]

Can I be prevented from having the same idea when developing iMtG? According to iMtG law, please?

[Mikefrompluto]

I would say no. People wouldn't post in a section called "Ideas and Feedback" if they didnt want their ideas implemented (doing to them what they wouldn't want done to them.)

[Piotr]

What if they changed their mind?

[Mikefrompluto]

They shouldn't have suggested it in the first place hahah. I really don't know in that case.

[Piotr]

Assuming you were right in the first case, I would say that in second the 'agreements must be kept' applies. Posting here is with the assumption that your idea will become part of iMtG, by posting here you agreed to that. You offered your idea. True or false?

[Mikefrompluto]

That would be true.

I run tribal decks a good 80% of the time. I realize it may be a niche idea but I would love a similar menu for card types (particularly for creatures in my case) but  legendary, arcane, tribal, etc would be useful for me too. The current "types" button has kept me happy but an alphabetized check off menu would be one less thing for my lazy fingers to type. It would also be a fun way to look at what card types exist and perhaps gain inspiration for my next tribal deck.

I realize a types drop down menu would be ... extensive. Are there other drawbacks to such a function?
