Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me with the following questions.:

  • Can you add specific basic lands to your Inventory? (Based on picture and number? I know they all do the same thing, but it's more for a personal catalog point-of-view)

  • Can do you add tokens to your inventory? (I know you can see on a card what tokens it can create, but again, for a catalog point-of-view)

  • How do you take down a post you created? (I made posts in the past, but I see no need for them to stay up if they have been answered and I saw it.)

Thank You!

  • I do not believe TO has every basic land in its data base. You can select lands from a specific "set," by using a dropdown when adding cards. If the art is not the one you prefer, then I believe you have to add the art yourself as an "alter." I've done that once or twice and it's pretty simple. If you want info on that, let me know.
  • You cannot put tokens directly in the deck list itself, nor in your actual inventory. The best you could do in this case is either make a thread that you can refer people to, or list relevant tokens in a deck description. The syntax for tokens is "token:1/1 soldier" within double brackets [ ] .
  • If you mean delete a thread you started, then if you really really want it taken down I believe a Mod can do that for you. Otherwise I think they just leave questions up so that future TO-users can hopefully see the answer also.

I hope that helps some. Feel free to ask anything, really (within reason of course, I'm not gonna tell you my mother's maiden name or anything, lol).

Gattison what’s your mother's maiden name?

What was the name of your first pet?

What was the color of your first car?

What was the street you grew up on?

KllrRoboPenguin and Gattison:

There is indeed a way to input specific lands printings. It was implemented about 4-6 months back or so and I've slowly been updating them. The syntax is one of the following:

Card Name (TLA:Card Number)
Card Name (TLA:Final 1-6 numbers of the card's gatherer url)

(codeblock doesn't bypass syntax yet so I can't show the square brackets in above.)

to look like

[[Boros Guildgate (GRN:244)]]
[[Boros Guildgate (GRN:452994)]]

Please note that I am slowly adding the basic lands so not all of them are in our database just yet. These are the sets I have done:

  • C14
  • C15
  • C18
  • DOM
  • DDS
  • DDT
  • DDU
  • DTK
  • FRF
  • G18
  • GK1
  • GNT
  • GRN
  • GS1
  • KTK
  • M19
  • ORI
  • SOI
  • TPR

Femme_Fatale: Oh that's awesome, good to know! Thanks for correcting me and thanks for doing all that work! =D

Suns_Champion: well, since you're obviously not KllrRoboPenguin, you're also not a cop, so I'll answer you.

Still trying to figure out the forums for this site. I've used it for years but have only recently starting figuring it out. Is there a forum for all the different features/abilities/shortcuts like brackets when putting in a card name for a deck description to link it.

I want to be able to add my gold boarder cards and I can not for the life of me find it.

Also, is there a way to search forums?

JBecicka, if you check the buttons ontop of the comment box, those will show you all the links you need.

In order to get a specific card printing, go

  • Cardname (TLA)

Enclosed by double square brackets.

Note that for your specific case, most commemorative products (collector's edition and world championship decks) are not presently on this site and will be a while before they get put in as I have other things in the backlog to complete first (basic land variations and promos).

As for searching the forums, click on the little magnifying glass in the top right. That search field will search for decks, cards, cubes, users and forums, all portrayed in their separate boxes.

@Femme_Fatale thanks. That makes sense about the gold boarder cards. They aren't technically legal.

I also clearly haven't figured out how to tag people yet either. I have more research to do. I know this site has amazing capabilities, once you can figure them all out.
