AwareWolf 2 years{"ops":[{"insert":"I like the alphabetized stacks a lot. Would still be nice to be able to customize the order in other ways, like putting lands at the end, but still, good improvement.\nI am not a fan of the commander changing locations. Maybe it's just resistance to change, but I didn't feel like I needed to be reminded what deck I'm working on, and the previous version had it nicely tucked off to one side, out of the way. Now it feels like it's taking up space that could be better used by something else.\n"}]}

DerekTheRed 2 years{"ops":[{"insert":"I have to agree about the commander location change, and for the same reasons. I'm surprised to discover that I care one way or another, but it really feels in the way now. It made sense to have it above the Sideboard / Maybeboard column - as AwareWolf said, it felt off to the side. Now it pushes out of frame the cards I'm actually trying to review and interact with. \n"}]}

Nu3vo1019 2 years{"ops":[{"insert":"I only have one complaint with the new formatting, and that's the positioning of the commander. I know who my commander is. I know it's colors and abilities. I would rather have it out of the way so I can focus on the 99. The way it use to be positioned would be were I prefer it to be. There is a bug I've encountered were the Maybeboard gets duplicated at times as another column.\n"}]}

Jhyrryl 2 years{"ops":[{"insert":"Thanks for all the hard work. I did prefer the commander on the right though, and while alphabetic order (for columns) has it's own logic, it's still just randomly determined (by English). I'd rather see a consistent, deliberate placement of spells by related function: non-land permanents (Creature, Enchantment, Artifact, Planeswalker), spells (Sorcery & Instant), land, commander & companion.\n"}]}

Moclord 2 years{"ops":[{"insert":"I do like some of the new features, but I cant seem to have my toolbar on the bottom anymore, i was never a fan of the left side bar so this is something that's been bugging me. Also while i do like that the stacks go in alphabetical order, i really wish we had an option to have them go back to size of the stack order (Largest left to smallest right). It was so much more pleasing to the eye for me that way and it was easier to make sure my paper decks matched my online lists. Ideally i wish the column margins is something we had an option to see how far apart we want them too, while wider is a bit easier to digest, I prefer mine closer together. \n\nNot really having to do with this update, and Ive havent really dug to see if its a common request, but is it possible that once you have your commander set when you search for cards to add to only show the ones that are in the color identity/colorless? I always thought it would be a cool idea, since it sucks to look up a word or part of a card name that also has shares names with other cards, and have to scroll through all the cards that I cant even have in my deck.\n\nAlso, now that it shows tokens needed for the deck, can it also show emblems too? \n\nThank you for all that yall do, great work overall!\n"}]}
