Feature Request: Tag Cards

TappedOut forum

I'm not sure how useful this would be for other formats, but for EDH, it's something I would definitely love to have.

If we could tag cards and then get counts of the tags, it would help so much with deck building.

For instance, in the deck list, I could have something like:

1x Contradict #counter #cardDraw

1x Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief #creature #removal

And then I would get some stats on the counts of each tag. This would enable me to build better decks as I'll be able to see which cards are overlapping in what areas and where I need to shore up, or cut cards.

Thanks

Do you mean get statistics for custom categories? I don't see that being very helpful, but that's just me.

This... already exists?

If you enter cards into your decklist exactly as you listed, and then change the sorting option to "custom categories", it sorts everything out into those categories, and gives you a count at the top, just as it normally does for card types.

Yeah you pretty much perfectly described an existing feature. Are we misunderstanding the request?

Ah after testing this, I see the difference. I'm advocating allowing multiple tags per card. For instance, the card Captivating Vampire I would like to tag with #utility (because it pumps other creatures) and #creatureRemoval (because it takes an opponents creature).

This card fill 2 rolls on top of being a creature, but right now I can only tag it once.

Wait, never mind that works too... it was giving me an error, but seems the error wasn't because of multiple tags, it was something else.

It's covered in the formatting tips, linked at the bottom of the comment box.

You can also do

1x Captivating Vampire #Utility #Category_with_spaces
