Is there a way to make pie show cards which are paid for with Phyrexian Mana and also Flashback costs? I am tired of Porcelain Legionnaire for example not being counted towards white mana costs and being counted as a CMC 2 card is there a way to change this?
@yeaGO! It could be handled by a checkbox underneath the charts. It's label would read "Include Phyrexian Mana". When active, the charts would consider Phyrexian Mana symbols.
A fast red deck may not care about Phyrexian Mana, and would be more inclined to pay life instead. Meaning, they would most likely prefer to have this checkbox disabled.
I'm not really sure why one would want to include Flashback cost in these charts. It would only be useful if every card that was in the library was in the graveyard instead.

Flashback is for just splashing a color for flashback so you can alter the mana base

I think there should be two checkboxes, one that says "include Phyrexian Mana", and one that says "include flashback costs"
The phyrexian would include pie and curve changes, however, the flashback would only include changes in the pie diagram.

To be honest, I think the Phyrexian mana symbols should be included by default. For example a Porcelain Legionnaire should show up with a 3 CMC; after all, it is still a mana symbol... As far as I'm concerned, the point of the Phyrexian mana symbol is simply to be able to pay with life instead of mana if you don't get what you need.
The Flashback (or rather, activation costs in general) of cards would be really nice to include in the charts though. That would be best with a tick box option.
