Sideboards and stuff

When adding a card, it should go to the deck currently in view instead
of always going to the main deck.

In B5 it is possible to have up to 4 different sets of cards:

* Starting hand
* Main deck
* Crusade pile
* Sideboard (in tournament play)

However the database only has the main deck and crusade pile. Now, my
messing with one of the files, I was able to get a sideboard added.
However, it seems to only to want to allow transfering cards to the
deck marked as the sideboard, making the third deck is useless.

Now, befow I go asking the creator of the b5 db to add this, I was
wanting to know if this is even doable.

Hmm, Card Vault has a few limitations that made implementing the decks
appropriately difficult. Each card can be assigned a deck that it can go
into and then there is a sideboard which can contain cards from any deck.
What that means is that there is no way to create a card that can be placed
in 4 different decks even though Card Vault supports having that many decks.
Until that feature became available I decided it was more important to
have the Crusade Pile. The starting hand can be simulated by sorting those
cards to the top and although I hardly use a sideboard, the notes field can
be used to store those cards. Not the best solution, but a solution. In
the meantime I'll continue to lobby Rob until he relents and allows me to
implement as many decks as I want.

The B5 data does need some work -- I need to make the traits like
Corporate searchable and add some statistics. I'm definitely up for
suggestions.

It's on the todo list - and a relatively high priority item. So it'll be
added as soon as I can reasonably get it done. :-)

Thanks, Rob

The starting hand could also be included in the notes section as well.

Have you considered adding this information to the FAQ in the data file? Or did
you do it already?
