Custom card not appearing in deck description
TappedOut forum

Hello.
I've created a custom card that I want to use as a commander for a deck. It seems that the image does not appear in the deck list portion of the page (when tagged with CMDR) so I tried to just add the image in the description instead.
However, the embed tags provided in the custom card page aren't working for me. I've tried to do an html img tag but that doesn't work too and I've read in a separate thread that someone needs to update my account to allow image posting. I didn't want to hijack that other thread so if anyone can update my account to allow images, please do so.
Not something that I know how to fix, nor is it a feature I have ever tried to use myself, so I don’t have any advice to give. Hope you figure it out and/or get it fixed!

Besides creating a custom card you need to add the custom card as an Alter for a real card if you want to add it to your decklist.
Find a real card that is the same CMC and colors as your custom card then create an Alter of it and use your custom card's art for the alter.
You cannot directly add a custom card into a decklist except as an alter of an actual card.

MagicMarc: You need to set the deck as custom and then you can indeed add the custom cards to your deck. You can clearly see that I have Pikachu in this bug test deck..
However it appears that these do not work for setting it with CMDR. Yet. May take a while though.
As for deck description.
[[concept-card:The Vampire's Siring]]
There's also a button, it's the last button, that is the custom card hotlink button.

I've been able to make the card appear in the decklist by marking it as a custom category instead of the commander tag.
As for the description, using the concept-card and concept-card-image embedded tags don't work for me. They just appear as text. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Trying to use the tag in this comment returned this error message: Type concept-card didn't return anything for 'jc-deaths-envoy'
The custom card isn't set to private. Maybe there's an additional setting required that I have not done.
Thanks for any input.

I tried "jc deaths envoy" and the actual card name "JC, Death's Envoy" and still getting the same error

Link to the deck and custom card? Kind of hard to troubleshoot without links.
