Are you building a standard deck? You might've bought cards that aren't playable in that format, always be careful when buying card from the "collection" screen.

Check out your filters. There is a chance some filters are filtering them out. The game automatically applies color filters whenever you start editing an existing deck.

It's also worth pointing out that every game format has a different card pool. By changing your deck type to "Timeless," you should be able to see all the cards. If the card disappears after switching to your previous format, then it's not available in that format.

is there a list somewhere of the editions (symbol not name) chronologically listed
and the criteria for standard and other formats
was considering crafting some cards, but they look old and im not sure if they will last for much longer

There is if you try building a deck...you can filter it that way. In fact you can filter quite a bit by showing cards you don't have, marking the game format (alchemy, etc.), and more. Pretty much unless you play brawl,historic, timeless, etc, you probably don't want any cards older than the last five seasons or so, because the further down the list are the cards that will be "useless" sooner, other than to make your collection look pretty.

yea but im not trying to filter for what is currently legal
im trying to see how many editions in the future it will be
figuring out wich is starting to get close to being 5 seasons old
so having a list of the symbols of the editions, in order, would be pretty useful for a quick reference to see how much time a card has left

it's ALL available there. Let me start the game and I will try and post a screencap or so where you can filter with exactly that information.
All you need to do is look at the season listing on the right hand side, the seasons are all in order with the current at the top...so basically the top five are the recent five seasons....everything below it is older. Seasons don't seem to be yearly, they change every 60 days or so. Anything you craft from the top 3 or 4 are relatively "safe", by season.
I check these all the time when building decks, or editing them. Also you could try the MGTA website or any of the deck building sites. Google is your friend!

There is all the information you need to know. For my example I selected the Standard format in the format dropdown.
I chose the Advanced Options button from the menu. it's the little symbol that looks like fader sliders (sorry, musician here).

On the right hand side I highlighted the five most recent seasons from the list of cards from the last three years, under Format Legal. Why? because those will be seasonally the most recent. Of course you can do this same thing for every game format, as they will likely be different in what is legal.
It will also give you a list below that of the seasons and game styles that are not format legal...and of course those might be legal in other game formats.
Still, those lists will tell you exactly what seasons were the most recent, and you can adjust from there.
