Just to add to what Colen said, the two new qualities were critical
additions for even more reasons. The reserved quality is needed to allow
users to build decks with those cards EXCLUDED from availability during
deck construction. The electronic quality is needed so that users can use
inventory validation of decks against just the electronic card inventory,
exclusive of any physical cards owned. These are in addition to the points
that Colen identified.
User qualities may be useful, but they undermine any formal exchange of
trade/want lists. I'm anxious to hear what folks have in mind for this (see
my previous post on the subject).
Thanks, Rob
