Add more filters to the Deck Builder PLEASE!!!

Keyler · April 2021

Why, if there are some events wich its objetives are cast x or more creatures with power/toughness 3 or less, we dont have a filter where we can choose easily that kind of creatures?
Not only for those events, if I have one spell wich move from graveyard to play a creature with cost 10 or less for example or power 3 or less, why in the XXI century I need to search manually between 200 creatures? Emergent Ultimatum works only with monocolor cards, let us search by only one color. This game longs for lot of years and still dont have one Filter System to search by power/toughness, choose cards with only one color or specific color (only green and red for example), by cost (equal, more/less than)...
Really pleaseeee, add more options to filters and let us spend less time searching cards.
Thanks

The filter system literally has not changed since the game started. It it long overdue for an overhaul, especially given how often one is requested.

Lets get it done Oktagon.

I’d even just be happy with a standard only filter for now.

(but that’s not to say more options wouldn’t be appreciated)

I can't believe it's 2021 and we still don't have a "standard" filter. But given that we don't, asking for further improvements to the filter seems....overly optimistic, I guess.

Also it would be interesting if we had a filter at the PW choosing screen into events to search them by color or name, for example. There are actually near 100 PWs. It is necesary to add some features as the game gets bigger.

And if we could assign some PWs to the favorite tag to always have for easy access.

Filters have had a few updates over the years, including getting a new UI very early on, upgrading the text field to search for subtypes, abilities, and card text on top of just card name, limiting the card sets shown based on event restrictions, and adding the mastered/non-mastered and card art filters. Of those, the upgraded text field and non-mastered button were added after player feedback asking for them.

I like the ideas mentioned above and would probably use all of them sometimes, if they were available. These ideas have all been mentioned at least once in threads in the past:

Power and toughness at least/at most X
Mana cost at least/at most X
Single colour cards only
Standard

Other filter ideas mentioned in previous threads are:

Multi-colour cards only
Match exact phrase (e.g. via double quotes)
Collected/missing/all
Has ability (as opposed to text field, which also includes cards mentioning the ability)
Boolean operators (AND/OR)
Ability to sort results by power/toughness

Updating the filter isn't trivial since it needs UX design work as well as coding. And implementing all of the above would be a significant effort. But maybe some of the simpler and most useful options could be prioritised and added in due course. That being said, it's very obvious that there are more player suggestions than Oktagon have time/budget to add, so the only realistic expectation is that only some of the things players ask for will be done, and other things asked for (even repeatedly) will not be.

I wouldn't classify adding extra filters as significant effort. It's not like they are building a new interface. Assuming devs actually got access to full source code after Hibernum handover, likely it's just matter adding extra attributes to table in db and populating them for ~5K records. UX enhancement will be the longest pole, but again just adding similar elements to existing ui. QA likely would be done by players

.Two-three days effort I say, for one dev.

Add more filters to the Deck Builder PLEASE!!!
