From his original request, it seems like he wanted to show all the
cards available for standard (turning off Merge Dupes). I think he wants
to do this in the inventory screen.

Hmm... I guess that would need every single version of 'Serra Angel' (or
whatever) to have the tag.

An alternate solution would be to go back to the deck, show 'standard
legal' cards with duplicates merged, and add some inventory information
columns to the view. That way you get a tally of the total number of 'Serra
Angel' cards you own, regardless of edition, style, artist, language, etc.
It doesn't give you specifics, but it's better than nothing (at least until
the author takes the time to go back and add the tags to every single
pre-printed version of currently legal cards).
