ColinF 5 years{"ops":[{"insert":"It would be nice if there was a feature to revert all cards in a deck to the cheapest available versions. Sometimes while manually adding a deck in from scratch I'll click wildly and pick a random card version that is dumb expensive. Then the total price is not really reflective of the deck as a whole. Also it's weird when my basic lands start costing a few bucks. They are essentially free. \n\nAfter reverting everything to cheapest version, I can go in and fine tune if I really want to show off some sort of blinged version. \n"}]}

This is especially relevant when I get a precon, add it as a big text import, and then the cards just randomly choose what set they're from on their own. A blanket option would be cool. \n"}]}

DistressBacon 4 years{"ops":[{"insert":"On this topic, there's a few issues that makes it harder to build budget decks.\n\nI don't exactly know how you're getting the MKM prices, however there's a bunch of cards that are listed in Archidekt without card price, while MKM already provides enough price trend data (most notably recent releases).\nNot only that, I feel like for WAR planeswalkers it mostly uses the price of the Japanese alternative art, which is noticeably more expensive.\n\nIf these issues could be fixed, archidekt would be a more reliable tool to build decklists with a hard budget (e.g. 25€).\n\nActually a \"exclude from price total\" option for categories would also be really nice.\n"}]}

Probably not gonna add that quite yet as I'm knee deep in category updates, but (hopefully) once I've made these updates, it should be pretty trivial to add that.\n"}]}

Krauhn88 3 years{"ops":[{"insert":"I second the issue with Cardmarket prices. I only build budget decks with Cardmarket prices and compare version price on every card. However I often find that the Cardmarket price isnt available or very inaccurate. What price is Archidekt actually pulling from Cardmarket? \nAs an example I referenced all the prices of Nissa, Voice of Zendikar where Archidekt shows a price range of 8.15 - 15.98 EUR (excluding comic-con version and normal foil) and checking the prices on Cardmarket, the trend prices of the card averages at 3.5 - 4.8 EUR, which is of course a huge deal building on a strict budget. :) \n\nAnyone know how Archidekt gathers price data from Cardmarket? \n"}]}

Splinterfright 2 years{"ops":[{"insert":"On the point of \"exclude from price total\" I originally thought this was what the card collection feature was for and was disappointed when I told the site I owned the card and the total price didn't go down. It would be nice if there was just an option to exclude card collection prices automatically. It would make it fast and easy to see just how much I'd actually be spending if I took the time to assemble the deck.\n"}]}

It’s difficult to go through and try to figure out what works well in a deck when the “most recent” card displayed is either the JP WAR promo. This issue also occurs with cards most recently printed in Salvat 2005, interestingly. Perhaps a preferred language setting for the profile settings could be used so search results default to EN printings instead of other printings, then you can refine from there if you have the super neat Russian Foil version of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Foil"}},{"insert":"?\n"}]}

hexxn_ 3 years{"ops":[{"insert":"I think I can just add my complaint in this thread. Aside from cheaper/more expensive version, the most annoying thing in the world is importing the text list and then having a bunch of cards in Spanish or Japanese alt arts for no reason whatsoever. And it wasn't like this just a few weeks ago! This made me temporarily switch to another platform which I'd prefer not to do. Archidekt rocks but this is way too much of an inconvenience.\n"}]}

For example, I added "},{"attributes":{"background":"#ff9900"},"insert":"Dark Ritual"},{"insert":" to a deck (Which can be picked up for less than a dollar at some online stores, especially the Revised edition), and it used the most recent reprint, which was the 25th Anniversary version, which is about $65 because it was Mythic Rare and very hard to come by. If they could add either the cheapest version of every card, or even each version of every card (which would take some work, but would be worth your time), that would be awesome!\n"}]}
