Ability to link HS Battlegrounds cards
When discussing Battlegrounds, it would be nice to be able to link to the Battlegrounds versions of cards instead of the regular Hearthstone versions, such that it includes the tier rating instead of mana cost.
I'm not sure what the syntax should be. One option would be to have a separate tag like {bgcard} instead of {card}. A different option would be to have a prefix in the body, such as {card}bg:Alleycat{/card}. I guess the cleanest solution is an attribute, such as {card set="battlegrounds"}Alleycat{/card}, but that would be terrible to type.
A different approach would be to have the post editor look up the card as you're typing and have a way of cycling between versions of the card. Misspelled card names are the #1 reason for me editing my posts, so a way to verify that the right card will be displayed would be great. But this is probably the most work to implement.
With Out of Cards supporting multiple card games, I guess you'll eventually run into overlapping names between games as well. Especially really generic names such as "fireball" might exist in multiple games. So it might be worth thinking of a solution for disambiguation in general and not just in the scope of Battlegrounds.

I agree that would be neato!
O, that this too too solid flesh would melt
Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!
You can actually already do this, we just didn't document it!

Also, all games will have their own card bbcode tags, so no need to worry about getting cards from the wrong games. Hearthstone will always be the base "card" and "cardimg" tags with other games getting prefixes attached ("runecard", "runecardimg", "mtgcard" "mtgcardimg") and having completely independent rendering logic where needed.

Is there a stickied post or something with all of the bbcode? If not, i'm sure I'm not the only one who would find that helpful.
Nice!
Maybe the relevant card tags could be shown on the card's page? For example below the images.
I've updated our "how to link cards" thread over on the card discussion forum.

Regrettably, the thread is missing some of the other attributes that are available right now, but maybe we can get those in or find a way to make an easier to view digest of all the bbcode options we have.

I would love to find a place to put bbcode boxes on the card pages. The sidebar is a likely candidate, we just need to make sure we don't end up with 50 different bbcode options haha
