I have so many cards that it  can be quite difficult to keep track of them all.  I have over 40,000  cards, all well sorted (it's a work in progress actually).  But I don't  want to go slogging through my drawers of cards to see what I have.  There are some 3rd party apps  out there like Magic Suitcase or Wagic, but they are all clumsy  programs.  I would gladly PAY high  dollar to have a program that allows us to keep track of what and how  many of each card we have, what decks they are in, and sort/search by  the usual means. 

And the really frustrating thing is, YOU  ALREADY HAVE THE GREATEST PROGRAM EVER WRITTEN FOR JUST THAT PURPOSE!  All that Gatherer is  missing in order to do the aforementioned tasks, is an additional two  set icons on every card page and search page thumbnail, and be able to  sort by those.  You could either make this a logon function on the  webpage, or, a much better option in my opinion, would be to sell the  app separately for all platforms.  That way I can have all my 40,000+  cards in the palm of my hand on my smartphone, tablet, or PC.  (and if  you REALLY wanted to make it truly AWESOME, put in a play test area  using your existing MTGO format)

For example, if I were to do a  search for elves, I get the typical gatherer search results list with  thumbnails, but in the set area next to each card, two new icons will be  visible, a book and (let's say) a spade card, each with a +/- button beside them and a subscript  number. Click the + beside the book icon and the subscript number  increases, indicating that I have that many of that card in my library.  Click the card and a box pops up asking for just 3 characters of text.  This text will then appear (any number of such), separated by a comma,  beside the card icon, with a +/- button and a subscript (until count is  taken to 0). This will indicate that I have X cards in my library and Y  of them in "XYZ" deck and "TUV" deck or deck "42" (or any number of  decks, which also should not be limited to number in library, that way I  can quickly see which cards I need to buy and how many for certain  decks with proxies). This function should work the same on single card  pages as well. These new identifiers should also appear in set search functions, both simple and  advanced. It would also be really nice if you could make it show 100  cards per search page, although not necessary.

This only requires  some simple additional programming, and I and others I know would love  to pay you good money for the use of such a program.  Please consider  this, as your fans of MTG have been waiting for this their entire  careers in Magic.  And it's already there in Gatherer!  It just needs a  little bit of work, pleeeeeeeeeaaaaase

Maybe would be nice, but for now try "Magic Album", certainly imho the best inventory program for mtg so far: www.slightlymagic.net/forum/viewforum.ph...
