New Card Pages

Hey guys,

We have been working on new card pages for MTG Vault as we'd like to become self-sufficient and not rely on other sites to provide for us. Before we launch these across the site though we'd like to get them tested out here on the forums.

There are two ways to link to cards on the forums and they are as follows:

[noparse]Birds of Paradise[/noparse] - This links to the latest version of the card.
[noparse][card=RAV]Birds of Paradise[/noparse] - You can specify an edition using its three letter acronym.

Birds of Paradise
[card=RAV]Birds of Paradise

Just have a play around with it and let us know if you find any problems, missing cards or just have any suggestions for the page. We're aware there is a lack of line breaks in the card text and we're looking into it. ;)

this is great. the page is a lot less cluttered and more organized. however, I like the old setup better, only because the other site that we used to show cards showed the rulings for each card. MTG Vault does not do that. if we can add rulings for the cards, then I think that the site can truly satisfy the users as the old way did.

Thanks for the feedback! We're going to try and do everything eventually so this is very much a work in progress. The site is still using the old card pages from magiccards for now and it's only the forum autocarding that is using our own card pages whilst we work on them and get some feedback. :)

Some of the data is a bit off at the moment too, especially when it comes to Land (or other cards that have multiple printings).
