regarding the deck statistics, would it be to be able to "program" the
statistics window for each deck. for example, Warcry has an army deck
and an action deck. I want to see certain stats when looking at the army
deck, and when I switch to the action deck, the stats window
automatically changes to display new stats. basically , the stats window
would be linked to the active deck.

I'm not sure how much true "value" this would really provide. I can see it
as a convenience item, but I can't see it making a real impact on deck design.

I'm also concerned this would lead to confusion for many users. Seeing
things come and go would appear as a bug to users who didn't know about
this functionality. And users wouldn't know about it unless they actually
read the documentation - we all know how many folks do THAT. :-(

I also know for myself that I would prefer any statistics I'm designing a
deck around to always remain visible, regardless of which deck I'm
tweaking. In general, I'm going to be going back and forth between decks,
tweaking them in conjunction with one another. So the constant changing of
the stats would cause me to have to re-locate the stats I'm focused on each
time instead of them always remaining in a fixed location.

Counter-arguments???

Thanks, Rob
