Data Driven Dynamics

With the influx of new posters to MTGSalvation we've had quite a few new cubers start commenting, post their cubes, and provide links to new resources, like the deck analysis tool at magic-decks.de. There's both an English and German version, and either language options supports card names from both languages. It will fix minor card errors, list cards it did not recognize (i.e. you misspelled so horribly that it couldn't recognize it), and provide a graphical output of the color distribution, mana costs, and card types in the deck. It's very spiffy! While it won't replace my spreadsheet (and the quick and dirty analytics I have in it) it will provide a quick way for others to see the breakdown in a pretty and graphical way.

The current version of the PMC Analytics Online is available here but the link will change as the cube changes. It would be great to have a static link to overwrite with it isn't available.

I should be getting cards in a few days which will both increase the foil count significantly as well as provide me with five more cards to throw into the mix. We'll cross that bridge when we get there.
