Multiple version of same card

[gdewan at prairienet.org]

I don't know if this is a result of Card Vault not having the
necessary means to do this or how the database was set up by the
database author, but I was putting together a LotR deck. I own two
Legolas Greenleafs, one a foil promotional that came with the big-ass
LotR DVD set, and a regular one (which I pulled out of a draft pack).
With inventory validation turned on, I initially just clicked on one
of them a few times to add both in, but I got a warning about an
inventory shortfall, I I removed one, and added in one of the other.
It would be nice if the inventory validation were able to check
against all version of the card (assuming they were supposed to be
exactly the same except for edition or whatever). Does Card Vault
allow for marking different cards to be effectively the same?

Card Vault already does this if the data files are designed appropriately.
And I'm pretty sure the LotR files ARE designed appropriately for this. The
key is to go to the Settings menu and make sure that the "Merge Duplicate
Cards" option is checked. This will cause all cards with the same name (and
any additional cards identified by the data file author as such) to be
collapsed and treated as the same card. All inventory totals for all of
those cards are merged together as well for verifying you have enough of
the card to field the deck you've designed.

Hope this helps,
Rob
