Making Tappedout Better for Cube
TappedOut forum

If tappedout had a visual spoiler button like cube tutor I would be less inclined to use both. I just went back to change a chunk of cards since I keep forgetting to update this at the same time, and it was a pain. It's far more likely for you to accidentally skim over multiple cards when they are just text and you're used to them being there. The image makes it far more obvious and simple. Also maybe a custom color switch for cards? Like being able to change for ex Lingering Souls to multicolor for your cube. Even if that were to happen, It'd still be nice if random cards wouldn't be put as multicolor in the system when they aren't. Since just reading through the cards and correcting only got me so far, I started relying on the counts for colors. Took me freaking forever to figure out Garruk Relentless and Noble Hierarch were in multicolor and that was why my green count was all messed up.

Definitely not, as Noble Hierarch is definitely a good ramp card to use even in mono-green. Which makes it kinda pointless to have him in multi-coloured.

711.2a In every zone other than the battlefield, and also on the battlefield with its front face up, a double-faced card has only the characteristics of the front face. 711.3. Except for determining whether or not a permanent can transform, a spell, ability, effect, or rule that needs information about a double-faced permanent sees only the information given by the face that's currently up.---I'm pretty sure it's considered only green for all zones and rulings except when it's flipped on the battlefield. About the "mana produced" thing, I feel like everything should just follow color, which is only determined by cost and rules text. Mana produced is color identity, which as far as I know only matters specifically to legality in edh. And just as a statement, there's no frustration here or anything. Just trying to help get the info right. I love that any time I've mentioned something on this site, yeago and other helpers are immediately right there trying to make things better.

Colour isn't determined by rules text. The thing is that ruling doesn't work in the concept of deckbuilding JaredMatthewsArtwork, because otherwise cards with devoid would come under as colourless, when in reality the deckbuilder should have them portrayed as red because that is what they cost.
I mean, transform cards are kinda hard to determine in this case, so I wouldn't entirely mind as long as they still make EDH decks turn into prototypes when using ones not in your colour.

Don't know if you'll get the notification from an old post yeaGO, but another thing that would make cube a little better is having pack randomization be automatic and have rarity based packing be a side option. Having it refill the distribution back to rarity and needing to blank them out again every time you go to edit something seems unnecessary. Probably only about 1% of cube users want anything other than random distribution.

Noble Hierarch shouldn't be viewed in multi-color ... hmm, I think I know the problem. I'll submit a fix and will check up on it a few days from now.
Garruk Relentless Flip is multi-coloured because it is multi-coloured. If the flip side is a different colour from the front, then the whole card is multi-coloured.
However, I, and numerous others, have suggested a method in which to add in custom colour identifiers to cards. However, when this will get done or if yeago even has this on his "list of things to do" is beyond me.
Edit: Further checking up on the Noble Hierarch issue, when clicking on the graphs to see sources of green, Noble Hierarch comes up, probably because they check for the mana cost of cards only, whereas custom deck-list as "colour" shows Noble Hierarch as multicoloured, which is either due to the "additional colours" or the "mana produced".
