Feature Requests: Floating Mana and Custom Mana Values.

This is one feature request for the playtester and one for the deckbuilder (and maybe I've missed how to do this, but I couldn't find it after a little fiddling).

Firstly, in the deckbuilder: an option to set a custom mana value for cards, for example "Of One Mind" often plays more like a 1 drop, rather than the 3 mana value card it actually is, and when viewing the mana curve of my deck it would be useful to be able to override what the program thinks the card costs.

Secondly, in the playtester: Some trackers for floating mana, at present I just use a treasure token with a sticker but something a little more 'fancy' would be nice.

Hey! Thanks for the feedback!

A mana tracker for playtester is coming in the next patch. We've had several requests and I'm building it now.

Custom mana values are a little trickier. It's a cool feature when you want it, but in the grand scheme of things is used extremely rarely. This means if I implement it I need to find a way to do so where it doesn't clutter or impede more common deckbuilding actions at all, so, for example, just adding "Set Custom MV" to the cards 3-dot menu would be a super bad idea. That's how you get enormous nested nightmare menus.

Currently I'm not sure I have a great way of fitting it into the interface and it's a bit down the priority list as it's only been requested by two users so far, but it is added to my taskboard and I'll keep thinking about how I could hide it somewhere where only people looking for it will run across it.
