Since a few months ago, the site has offered the possibility of automatically making the card names in your posts display a tooltip card picture upon hovering, and link to their page on http://deckbox.org upon clicking. Because there is not (yet) a button for this function in the forum editor, some readers aren't yet aware of this.

To provide a card, or a list of cards (see below) with a tooltip/hyperlink, you need to put {CARDS} before its name and {/CARDS} after it, replacing the { } brackets with the [ ] that are used in this forum.

As of today, the parser is a little smarter and will recognise the most common ways of typing decklists. Here are a few examples:

HTML Code:
[CARDS]
5 Tarmogoyf
4x Spiny Starfish
1 Æther Adept
2-4 Framed!
3 Fire // Ice
1 [LG] Karakas

Random text
// Commented text
4 Swords to Plowshares // Commenting after a card doesn't work (thank the split cards for that)
[/CARDS]

Boy, I sure hate [cards]Wasteland[/cards]!
will turn into:


5 Tarmogoyf
4x Spiny Starfish
1 Æther Adept
2-4 Framed!
3 Fire // Ice
1 [LG] Karakas

Random text
// Commented text
4 Swords to Plowshares // Commenting after a card doesn't work (thank the split cards for that)


Boy, I sure hate Wasteland!
As smart readers will have figured out from the above examples, you can also just wrap CARDS tags around a directly-copied Magic Workstation decklist and only the card names will be hyperlinked.

4 [TE] Wasteland

You are not required to put CARDS tags around your decklists and new card suggestion, and you won't be sanctioned for not doing so (whereas, for example, you are required to make your posts readable and make sure they have content).

It will often be in your own best interest, however, to use tags when proposing decks or mentioning cards that are not completely well-known. Readers are lazy enough that having to look up a card on their own may very well be enough to dissuade them from reading the rest of the post you have worked so long on.
