Dear developers.
Thank you for all the support lately. It is awesome - you rock for all the support you give us.
I do have one suggestion:
Make the carrousel work better.
1) Currently it is really slow to navigate. It takes too long to go through your cards and get the last/bottom cards in there. 2) the selecting/targeting and the confirm button is so slow and doesn't respond very well. Some times it takes many tried before it works. 3) the selecting/targeting seems to disappear sometimes (especially during a day change). This makes it slower to select the cards - especially if you need two in different places In the deck (e.g. Ancestral discovery).
Too many times I've been stuck there too long only to be too late when I get out to use the cards. So any improvements will be most welcome.

My thought is to make it show more like the AH. Instead of every card showing individually, group them with the total number in the deck in the top corner.
The card played would obviously determine how many of them were selected.
It would make the carrousel a lot smaller and easier to manage.

Can't. Order may be important.

I had the issue while selecting a card from deck or archive, even though I select the card and "Confirm" is active, touching the button won't do anything. I had to exit the whole app and come back.

Wampyrs, that is a general bug, but it is reported.
My suggestion was of a general nature. It is the design of the carrousel that I would like them to improve.

Can't. Order may be important. Don't you always shuffle deck after looking into it? I can't come up why it may be important. But I don't see the whole picture.. I think the suggestion is ok. Another could be making more cards visible at the time. More on a row. More rows. Smaller size. Better response when selecting. Etc.

I've thought of that same thing, but what Bronto means is that every card kinda needs to be presented, for example if two people have the same sequence open at the same time (say, pick your poison and quick study), there might be two copies of the same thing, but if the one player takes that specific one, the other mustn't be able to grab the same one. And yes like Bronto said the order might be important.

Just testing the waters here. Are you all fine with how the carrousel work currently (bugs aside)?

I do agree I want a faster carousel. The massive cards can be made smaller, I think. Something more like the sequence builder or the way memories are viewed in the memories page (laid out not in a carousel) maybe.

would making it easier to navigate increase the strength of stuff like pyp too much? i always found it complemented the realtime aspect with it taking (realtime) to go through you opps deck

I've been frustrated occasionally that I'll miss playing a surprise in time because I'm cycling through my cards after tutoring something, but perhaps the real time aspect of cycling through is an important part of it - especially for PYP, as you point out. Hey, if you wanna rifle through my cards, it should take you a while.  I would like to at least see an improvement whereby the passage of a day, my opponent playing a card, or whatever else sometimes causes my selection to automatically de-select would stop happening.

Most of the deck searching is in your own deck, so no need to fear buffing a few cards. It will be an improvement for searching your own deck. Besides, it shouldn't be a technical issue that delays you in going through the opponents deck with PYM it should be your ability to process the information and your knowledge/recognition of the cards. And there is a strength in taking time with PYM as you learn your opponents deck so people are still going to take time with PYM (or lose the advantage of knowing the opponents deck).
With your own deck you just need a specific card.
