Thanks, that'd be helpful.

I know this, but this is not what concerns me. My concern is, if we
make a deck with CV, then we need to, erm, actually go to our
collection and make it. So what we *take to the tournament* is a
collection of old, out-of-date cards. What I'd like is for CV to
*print* either the data for all cards in the deck, or the data for
all cards for which it knows your version is outdated (but this is
impossible because the deckbuilder doesn't know where it got the card
from)

Or imagine I have merge duplicates *off*. But I only have old cards,
so I build it and say "print the card info for all cards in my deck
(when this feature is allowed, I don't know if it currently is). What
I *want* is for it to print the *tournament valid* data, i.e the Most
Recent Printing, and not the info on the card itself.

I want this as a reference to consult at the tournament.

That's cool, but does this allow me to *filter* the Inventory view
with all the MRPs?

A simple example of what I want: say I open inventory, and go to the
filter window. I filter for a certain old expansion. I also want to
press a button that says (include all MRPd cards in filter). The
result would be:

If I just filter for expansion Alpha, which is cards A, B, and C (but
not D, the result of the filter would be:
A
B
C

If I filter for ONLY expansion Alpha, and I click the "include MRPs"
button, and there is also an expansion Beta, which is cards A, B, C,
and D, the result of the filter would be:

A Alpha
A Beta
B Alpha
B Beta
C Alpha
C Beta

That make any sense?

Thanks for the trouble, and sorry for the headaches.

I can't answer about the filter, but on this area,
build your deck with Merge Dupes on
Click File > Output deck
Select Include Description Text
You can also Include Deck Details for whatever other facets you want
Then Output to Printer

This is (ahem) all in the docs...

You might as well make this your sig... since no one *ever* reads the docs - at
least not the first time through
