  • Linking MTG cards via forum posts

    Staff Pro

    I'll post our internal documentation for it. Never made this public since the editor still needs buttons.


    How to use Magic BBCode. For the purposes of this document, the "magic" bbcode tag names have been replaced by "example".


    Documentation - MtgCard

    The tag name is "mtgcard". It must have a start and end tag.

    [example]CardName[/example]

    Options can be provided with this bbcode with the following format:

    [example option="value"]CardName[/example]


    Options

    • text
      • The text used for the card link. This will replace the card's name which is used as default.
    • set
      • The 3 letter code for the card set for this card.
      • Examples:
        • M21 - Core Set 2021
        • JMP - Jumpstart
        • AKR - Amonkhet Remastered
        • ZNR - Zendikar Rising
        • LEA - Alpha
    • num
      • The exact number of the card.
      • You should use this with set for the best results.

    Basic Usage

    The contents of the tag is either the card name or the id of the card in our database.

    If you want to use the database card id, these are the numeric id found in the card's URL.


    Link to a card

    [example]Plains[/example]

    Plains


    Link to a specific version of a card

    Example below is a Plains from Eldraine

    [example set="ELD"]Plains[/example]

    Example below is the specific Plaines from Eldraine.

    [example set="ELD" num="250"]Plains[/example]

    If you were to only use the "num" option for Plains, there is always a chance that there is another Plains with the provided number which means you may not get the intended result. Using the set code is the best option.



    Documentation - MtgCardImg

    This embeds a card image for Magic the Gathering. If we are missing the image, we will display a text version of the card instead.

    The tag name is "mtgcardimg". It must have a start and end tag.

    [example]CardName[/example]

    Options can be provided with this bbcode with the following format:

    [example option="value"]CardName[/example]

    If a certain option does not accept a value, the option only needs to be present within the bbcode.

    [example option_with_value="value" option_without_value]CardName[/example]


    Options

    • text=value
      • The text used for the card link. This will replace the card's name which is used as default.
    • set=value
      • The 3 letter code for the card set for this card.
      • Examples:
        • M21 - Core Set 2021
        • JMP - Jumpstart
        • AKR - Amonkhet Remastered
        • ZNR - Zendikar Rising
        • LEA - Alpha
    • num=value
      • The exact number of the card.
      • You should use this with set for the best results.
    • size=value
      • The width in pixels of the card image.
      • This defaults to 265. We do not recommend changing this because Magic cards do not scale well.
    • discuss
      • Adds a link to a card's discussion thread in a button below the card image.
      • These do not exist for older cards. If the card does not have an associated thread, it will not provide the button.
    • rating
      • Adds a set of rating stars below a card's image.

    Basic Usage

    The contents of the tag is either the card name or the id of the card in our database.

    If you want to use the database card id, these are the numeric id found in the card's URL.


    A card image

    [example]Plains[/example]


    A specific card image

    Example below is a Plains from Eldraine

    [example set="ELD"]Plains[/example]

    Example below is the specific Plaines from Eldraine.

    [example set="ELD" num="250"]Plains[/example]

    If you were to only use the "num" option for Plains, there is always a chance that there is another Plains with the provided number which means you may not get the intended result. Using the set code is the best option.

    This has been my method too! Of course, I'm too lazy to post gifs myself, but have been targeted the most anyway? Was it something I said?

    That's amazing, thank you! Enjoy a freshly squeezed snowball on me! ❄️

    Quote From ChickyChick

    Good luck to the finalists! Looks like my Valeera didn't get much love.

    To be honest, for how weird of an effect it is, it did pretty well, just not well enough to reach finals. You'll see in the Transparency Report once the comp is over ;-)

    Use the Card ID instead of its name (same goes for HS, LOR). You can find the ID in the card's URL on its card page.

    So [mtgcardimg]17612[/mtgcardimg] is this

    while [mtgcardimg]30682[/mtgcardimg] is this

    It might be something big :) who knows

  • Edwin VanCleef

    Is his surname really 1 word? Looking at the capitals, I think it should be 2 distinct words instead. Also, the 'Van' part is usually a word on its own in Dutch language surnames.

  • Mountweaver Priest Budget Deck List & Guide for Darkmoon Faire - Budget Deck Breakdown

    I like this concept: I've played Exotic Mountseller in several decks (even in Druid back in May 2019, way before it was popular), but since DMF I didn't touch the card. Nazmani Bloodweaver and Palm Reading are actually great addition to this strategy and will surely help the deck to stand out. Also, big props for finding a useful place for a garbage card like Whispers of EVIL lol

    Now all we have to hope is that Shaman's early game pressure will be hammered down by the nerfs, and then this deck will have more chances.

     

    Anyways, good job!

  • Darkmoon Mini Set

    I didn't even open any packs from Darkmoon.

    After Outland, I retired from Standard, all my focus is on Wild. So, I'm waiting patiently until the end of the reveals, then decide when to open my packs. After, or before the mini set's release.

    I don't know about the cards' rarities, I hope there will be some new legendaries, which might interest me.

  • Budget Mountweaver Priest

    I love budget decks that come out of no where to beat up the current meta.  My hat's off to you and I hope to see it beat up some stuff that is going around right now. 

  • Mountweaver Priest Budget Deck List & Guide for Darkmoon Faire - Budget Deck Breakdown

    I like this idea.  I'd like to see how it would do against some Tier 2-1 decks as well since it's totally off-meta

  • Mountweaver Priest Budget Deck List & Guide for Darkmoon Faire - Budget Deck Breakdown

    All I read was the into, and I scrolled down here to say thank you. Thank you. I have limited resources, and I want to play more for fun. Now, back to the reading. 

  • Linking MTG cards via forum posts

    Ah, very nice! The buttons are indeed missing and how do we pick a specific card art? Or to be more precise; a card from a specific expansion with specific art?

    For instance, the card Hymn to Tourach from Fallen Empires has four distinct artworks and I would like to choose 1 of them specifically for linking to a forum post. The next one below is not what I want, but the last one is though.

    I approve of this carnage.

    So, right back at ya, catch! 🤣

  • Hearthstone's January Card Back, Ironforge, Has Arrived!

    But as far as I know alliance didn't have any shaman in its factions on vanilla, no? They started to have them with Burning Crusade and Draenei and eventually after that Dwarves when Cataclysm hitted. Right now I'm totally out of lore but which shaman dwarves are lore related?

    I'm totally curious about that.

    It's easy.

    I see gif, I throw snowball.

  • Legends of Runeterra Joins the Riot Season 2021 Reveal Event On January 8

    I think that it's my first time "hyped" with a Runeterra expansion. Never feel this before for this game hahaha.

    Let's see what they show to us but I don't know what exactly should I expect :P

    Already a thing, if you use

    or

    I guess we are missing the buttons in the editor for it thought :)

  • Linking MTG cards via forum posts

    I think it would be an amazing feature to also add links to MTG cards just like it is possible now for Hearthstone and Runeterra IMO.

    Are there any plans to add such cool feature in the near future? I certainly hope so.

    Puns are always tricky if you're no native speaker, but I think I wasn't too far of with Duskbreaker. What about The Darkness then? 

  • Snowpocalypse

    Staff Pro

    That's now been fixed! Sorry about that, that usually isn't the case for the MTG clues.

  • Hearthstone Devs Return to Work on Monday, Will Be Talking Balance Internally

    1. they have to identify the Problem(s)

    2. they have to find solution(s) for these Problem(s)

    3. they have to playtest the solution(s)

    4. they have to predict how the meta will change and potentially have to nerf more cards(basically going back to 1.)

    5. The Apple/Android store have to approve the new build (can take between 1 - 7 days)

    I don't expect them to announce the nerfs anytime soon.
