To buy a whole deck at once in the beta, right click on empty space in the deck window and select "Add missing cards to wishlist". Then when you filter cards in the trade window, select that you want only wishlist cards to show up. No way to see what people are buying at aside from the ads and some bots' websites.

Wizards have been doing a bunch of "transition to the new client" articles to help along.
http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/ar ... ine-client
You make the wishlist either by dragging cards to it or right clicking on and empty spot on your deck list and selected "add missing cards to wish list"

Because the file is misformatted. You have an option to fix that. Open it in notepad, put each card on a separate line, then save and try to import it again.

The primary problem is that I have no idea what I'm doing. I don't know how to turn tickets into decks. I don't know how to cut and paste decks and then find the cards or whatever. Importing a .txt seemed like a step in the right direction, but it doesn't work.What's the primary problem you're having? Getting the cards or putting them in the deck?

If you are willing to wait, I will be home from work in about 2.5-3 hours. Seems like you need a full-on tutorial.

Ok, while you work on the wishlist:The primary problem is that I have no idea what I'm doing. I don't know how to turn tickets into decks. I don't know how to cut and paste decks and then find the cards or whatever. Importing a .txt seemed like a step in the right direction, but it doesn't work.What's the primary problem you're having? Getting the cards or putting them in the deck?
To turn the tickets into cards:
Go to collection. There's a tab for cards and "other products". Click other products to show your tickets. Right click the stack
of tickets and say you want to add them all to your trade binder. They're still available to use for entering games so there is no downside here. (P.S., you will do something similar with packs when you start winning those to sell back to bots).
Now, at the top, go to the trade tab (home, collection, play, TRADE) at the top. This brings up all the bots (and a few humans) buying and selling cards. There's a small search text area to type in and narrow down by either user name or what they're advertising.
Some of the people here seem to like a group of bots called "goatbot" if you want to search by that. Alternatively, start off searching for bots advertising they sell cheap cards like commons, gobble all those up. The bots' chat windows are very helpful at telling you how to trade but basically you need to:
1) There's an option I guess to search by your wishlist. Alternatively, you can search individual cards in the trade through a similar window. You only need to partially search the
name. If the card doesn't show up, they don't have it in their trade binder.
2) drag the cards you want from their list to the bottom left window. This window is things you are getting from the other person in a trade.
3) the bot will ask tell you prices of cards in chat as you get them. When you have everything you want, they have a way to say that you are done
4) the bot will take the tickets from you automatically and then ask you to confirm
4a) If this fails, it's because you didn't set your tickets to be traded. Cancel trade, put tickets for trade, and restart.
For the more expensive cards, like the lands for example, I recommend you price shop among multiple bots because you can save a couple bucks that way. Or check that MTGO price link up above to at least make sure you're not overpaying.
Sorry, I'm not home or I'd hop on and show you too.

It's just frustrating Kait. It is the least user friendly program I've ever used. I've never been this frustrated when learning a new program that is in English.
I watched the video. I still don't get how you find the cards once they are in your wishlist? Surely it isn't just trial and error? How do I find out which bots have what I need?

Unless they're big money rares like Chandra, you pretty much have to do it the same way you do when making trades at a card shop if the store owner doesn't have them. Grab your wallet (tickets), go person to person, and ask if they have what you're looking for. MTGO doesn't sell singles from their store, you have to do it entirely through trades.
Personally, if you're having trouble with the wishlist in MTGO, I just make a list of your deck, say in notepad or pen and paper, start getting the cards, and mark them off as you get them. It'll take you about...30-60 minutes and that's if you're trying to price shop.
You don't need to buy basic lands. You stick those in your decks the same way you did for the new player phantom drafts you were in.

I think you arent even trying, just want to make a drama.
I just typed in google: How to trade on mtgo v4. First result is mtgotraders, bot chain, one of the biggest one out there. You just have to read what is there...
Also looks like you didnt read what Lazer wrote.
I understand this program isnt made efficient and stuff, however I dont think you need to be computer genius to use it.

Actually, being a genius works against you. The aneurysms you get from looking at the source code can't be good for you.

I looked at the dictionary for what does aneurysms mean, you mean this?Actually, being a genius works against you. The aneurysms you get from looking at the source code can't be good for you.
"An aneurysm is a swelling in part of an artery caused by damage to, or weakness of, a blood vessel wall."

I'm sorry, I'm just overwhelmed by how difficult and inefficient everything seems to be. I've had a lot of great info from people here thrown at me, but it's been more than I can absorb all at once and I'm struggling.I think you arent even trying, just want to make a drama.
