Sideboard and Acquire don't show up, only Maybeboard

TappedOut forum

I have a deck that is fairly WIP, and I want to show various potential options, things I want/need, and a potential sideboard (in cases where the 10 card Commander sideboard is accepted), ideally all at once in their respective categories. When I save the deck, however, only the Maybeboard cards are visible.

I can see the sideboard myself when I look at that link, it should always be in the bottom right of your mainboard list, It's not given a separate section like the maybeboard is, usually because it's been restricted in size for most formats. The acquireboard I don't think was ever meant to be visible. It was more of a personal list for users to keep track of things they still need to get in paper for large decks (like commander).

I think making an option for users to show their acquireboard on the deck page may not be too difficult?

Though I offer you an alternative solution. Custom categories. You can't at the present time select custom categories for only mainboard or only maybeboard, so this may be tedious for you, as you'll need to manually place creatures, lands, artifacts, etc where you want them to be.

You can either, add one or multiple categories by adding "#Category #Category_2" to the end of a cardname, or by prefacing a list of cards with "#Category 3" to all put them in that category.

20x Forest #Creature #Pink_Card #Sorcery
1x Time Warp #Sorcery

OR

#Pink Cards
2x Purphoros, God of the Forge
4x Steam Vents

#Yellow Cards
4x Arid Mesa
7x Seven Dwarves

The sideboard doesn't seem to show up at all for me. I'll try doing the categories like you showed me though.

Femme_Fatale Custom categories don't seem to be working for me, either. I tried doing this:

1x Squee, the Immortal #Test_category
and this:
#Test_category
1x Squee, the Immortal 
Neither seemed to work.

Sideboard doesn't show for you? This is what my screenshot of your deckpage shows:

as for categories not working for you, I want you to click the drop down on the top left right above your deck list (the deck ordering drop down) and click the "custom" option, with your text deck list having these custom categories in them. If that works, go into your text edit, onto the bottom left and click the "Default category" drop down and choose custom.

Sorting by custom worked, but having to manually sort everything else for the sake of custom categories is very unwieldy.

I love custom categories. I can easily mark cards to see how many cards I have for Draw or Ramp or Removal, regardless of the type of card. The only issue I've run into is that I originally went through and added the #tag to the end of every card for all of my decks, but after saving and then going back in to edit them, most decks grouped the #tags into the second option, but some decks remain as single #tags on every card. I just wish it would be consistent.

What do you mean by manually sort? LeopardBunny

yeaGO they mean that if something isn't sorted by a custom category, it gets slotted into other instead of their regular sorting type.

yeaGO, my Hail Hydra! deck is one that still has #tag after every card, regardless of whether I have them sorted by the default or Custom before I enter edit. Again, it isn't really an issue, but I would just like consistency.

It's a little awkward but even the commander needs a group
