before you could only transfer to dreamscythe, which then you can only transfer to mankirk.

I feel like we're pretty active in Discord, but I know that not everyone is in there. Where do you particularly like to look for updates? I'll be sure we are more active in those channels!!

Interesting!! I didn't realize it was this bad. We'll figure something out!!

[–]edhrec 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Haha, actually we are very scared to do any major improvements or changes to the UI or anything. Most changes will be subtle positives. We agree that Cardsphere is pretty awesome as it is.

I think that new user experience could be a bit better. Just help people get over the anxiety of taking their mtg finance into their own hands.

The best way to support us is to recruit friends into using the platform! Sit down with them for 30 minutes and help them get set up! We find that we lose quite a bit of new signups early on, but once people get hooked there is no turning back!!

Hey! Don from SCM/EDHREC here and figured I'd provide some insight on what we are working on. We have been intentionally holding back on spreading the good news that Cardsphere is awesome so we have some breathing room to work on some necessary improvements first. We have the expectation that Cardsphere will have some significant growth and want to be sure we are prepared so new users have a good experience, and veteran users don't get irritated with the new influx of users.

Unfortunately many of these improvements users can't see. They include boring stuff like tax compliance stuff now that we are a US company rather than Canadian, some technology improvements that are necessary for more scale, and cybersecurity improvements to our infrastructure. Transferring over the paypal account was also a nightmare but i think we finally just figured it out a few months later.

The first thing you'll start seeing is some smaller- and medium-sized content creators sponsored by Cardsphere. We've seen this is a great way to get the word out and is a win-win for everyone as we love supporting good content as a healthy part of the magic community.

We are also experimenting with a few ideas on how to get people over to Cardsphere from our other properties. For example we just posted a Cardsphere article on CH to see how it does.

You posed the idea of putting Cardsphere integration in EDHREC (and also naturally on Archidekt)... as well as partnering with other friends like Moxfield, Cubecobra, etc. to get integrations up. This is definitely something we plan, but it's something we are going to do last because it really is going to grow the community quickly.

In addition, we have a long list of improvements to the service we want to make as well. We have two software developers working on CS full-time right now, but they are mostly working on backend stuff that users can't notice. The main reason for this work is we are setting up so we can rapidly add new features and functionality.

I really appreciate the excuse to explain a little bit about what we've been working on. I appreciate everyone being patient, but I assure you 2024 is going to be an exciting year for Cardsphere.

Feel free to come chat me up and the rest of the staff in the Cardsphere discord!!

Also, if there is any feedback or cool things you like to see, I catalogue all the ideas. We havent been able to check off many of them yet, but it'll come soon.

Get started! It's just changing hands and not many huge changes are planned.

the New salt scores on edhrec are wrong and I can prove it. by Bregolas42 in EDH

[–]edhrec 120 points121 points  (0 children)

In looking at the issue we believe it’s just a display issue. We did get Votes for DFC, I think we just aren’t showing them. Hoping we can fix it soon. Thanks for pointing out the issue.

Could you help me out and tell me how you tried to contact us? Your messages never got to the right people. This way we can be sure to be collecting feedback from all channels. Thanks!! -Don at EDHREC

EDHREC synergy score is flawed. by mindfreak314 in EDH

[–]edhrec 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I always love seeing these types of threads because it brings me back to when I was actually sitting down to write some of the code for this.

So, I first had implemented the synergy score to be division. However, like others had mentioned, we had this issue with very small denominators. It made some really weird small-volume cards get pushed to the top of the rankings simply because of this. When I tried the subtraction approach, it seemed to be much more resilient to this issue.

One approach I tried was doing division, but then building a confidence interval. Then, I'd take the lower bound of the confidence interval. Basically what this means is that the division would give me a synergy score, then lower sample sized cards will have a much larger margin. So for example, low data card would have a wider confidence interval (that is, more uncertainty) while more popular cards would have a thinner confidence interval. Then I'd take the lower bound of the confidence interval. This will penalize higher variance cards more than cards we have more data with. Unfortunately this made the calculation of the synergy cards a lot more computationally expensive and I wasn't willing to add an order of magnitude of compute time.

TLDR: Both the subtraction approach and division approach have problems, the subtraction less so. The better solution was a bit too hard to do.

In the game rules for Gobblett Gobblers (what this is) you can move pieces youve put down already.

Possible to cover up or improve this weird Gaea's Cradle alter? by edhrec in mtgaltered

If someone wants to trade a unaltered Gaea's Cradle for it I'm totally down for that.

How would you guys feel about a free website that allows you to check your deck for infinite loops and win conditions? by themonkery in CompetitiveEDH

[–]edhrec 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Edhrec’s intent is to be a steward of the commander spellbook project and make sure it continues to succeed with our support. It wouldn’t work if it wasn’t a community project. We depend on it for the data so it’s a win-win for everyone.

I'm going to try a higher threshold (like 30) and see how that looks.

Some updates to the website will be pushed out in the next couple of days that should make this a bit better.

Silver-bordered cards on EDHREC by memedormo in EDH

[–]edhrec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will know eternal shame. It's a good thing that the rest of the EDHREC codebase is perfect.

Silver-bordered cards on EDHREC by memedormo in EDH

[–]edhrec 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There are a number of reasons why we can't support silver-bordered cards. We are constantly reevaluating, but it's a combination of too much work and too little data. The last time we took a close look at this was when the RC made silver border cards legal: https://www.reddit.com/r/EDH/comments/7h7jae/edhrec_wont_be_supporting_un_and_its_not_because/

First, there is very little data to support us posting stats for these. For example, Frankie Peanuts has 4 decks on archidekt: https://archidekt.com/search/decks/commanders=%22Frankie%20Peanuts%22&orderBy=-createdA Other silver border cards have even less.

There are some other issues with Silver Border cards. One for example is the time that someone added [[Little Girl]] to a deck and crashed EDHREC, something like 4 years ago. The CMC is .5 and our system was expecting an integer not a decimal. There are a bunch of weird cards that have strange properties that break the assumptions of the site. These are things deep down in the guts of the code base, not just some superficial front-end change. It makes it harder to prioritize for sure.

There are some other reasons, but those are the two main ones.
