Card Images for Deck Descriptions
TappedOut forum
Posted on Sept. 9, 2014, 3:58 p.m. by Orcinbob
I know how to use the img tag and right now what I do is use the snipping tool on a picture of a card and upload it to tinypic or imageshack or what have you.
My question is, are there any easier ways of adding an image to a description? Or is this basically the only way to do it?
If I have to upload every picture I want to use, I will; but to save time, I would prefer just linking directly to a picture if possible.
Thanks, Epochalyptik I wasn't sure where this was supposed to go.
After a few minutes of searching, I think I have found a solution. I'll post it for those who are interested.
Search for a card using Tappedout's search engine and then right click the picture of the card and hit properties.
In the window that pops up, there will be a line called "Address (URL)" and it will be something like this "http://static.tappedout.net/mtg-cards/SET_NAME/CARD_NAME.jpg" which you can link to using an img tag.

or rather it will be dashes instead of underscores eg. /Set-name/Card-name.jpg

What I usually do is just search for "card name art" and just use the url of that image. It will automatically resize the picture for you if it's too large, to fit in the description area.
It would definitely be cool if TO had a database of art that could be used with double bracket notation but unfortunately that doesn't exist
