MTG Wishlist 2.2 Chrome Extension with TCGPlayer

MTG Wishlist new version is here with new features that we'll describe below, but first, we'd like also to introduce our new partner: tcgplayer.com. As we said in the MTG Finder 1.3 announcement, TCG Player is a famous webstore that includes several prices from other stores. If you don't know it, what are you waiting to visit it?


MTG Wishlist 2.2 Changes:
  • TCG Player column inserted. It contains 3 values corresponding to card prices: minimum price, average price and maximum price. Those prices are taken from all the webstores included in tcgplayer. To check the card you'll only need to click one of these values.
    Card prices are in US dollars and depend on the current expansion set. If no expansion set is selected or it doesn't match with tcgplayer's sets (maybe because tcgplayer doesn't support them, like some special sets), the field will link the tcgplayer homepage. To use this service, card names must be in english.
    If you want to checkout your wishlist in tcgplayer, you can do it only by clicking the column header "Price TCGP".
    Global TCG Player data are loaded every 24 hours, when the browser starts or clicking the refresh button (maybe you suffer some wait delay if you want to see your wishlist when it's loading TCG Player or Blackborder data).

  • Card images now depends on the selected expansion set. If no expansion set is selected, the default card image will be shown. Not every expansion set is supported, like special sets or promo decks.
    Card images are displayed directly from the wizards database, so it's possible to not see some expansion sets until wizards uploads them (at this moment, commander and m12 pictures are not available). I've done the request to wizards, I'm sure that they'll fix it soon.
  • Card prices auto-change if expansion set is changed and prices are different.
  • Key shortcuts have been included. Now you can open MTG Wishlist in a new window instead of a popup only with shortcuts. Set the combination in the options page.
  • Loading times have been decreased. Editing a card will no longer reload the app unless you want to delete it.

Known issue: when the last card image popups, it won't be visible unless the scrollbar is present (to see the scrollbar, you must have a few of cards inserted in order to cover frame height).

MTG Wishlist can be downloaded from the Chrome Webstore.

I hope that you like the new features. Of course, you're welcome to post here any suggestion, comment or complain.

Don't forget to like us on facebook and leave your feedback at the webstore.
