Title: Introduction to this MtG System
Post by: Azhtek on March 08, 2011, 11:22:40 AM
A new area of boards for specific games. Trying to get a thing going, and not just in Magic, to expand the community in different areas and interests.

How the system works: There are three new buttons that I've added. (http://www.furry-within.com/Themes/brightforest_22/images/bbc/card.gif)  (http://www.furry-within.com/Themes/brightforest_22/images/bbc/mana.gif)  (http://www.furry-within.com/Themes/brightforest_22/images/bbc/deck.gif) They are, in order, Card, Mana and Decks. These will let you build a deck within FW to show off, allow others to have input and offer advice on your deck, and so on. Here's a reference guide on the command you'll use to create.

CARD LINK
The first icon (http://www.furry-within.com/Themes/brightforest_22/images/bbc/card.gif) with the Magic card back is for creating a link to autocard. The code to for a single card is
[card]cardname[/card]

So for example
[card]zap[/card]
will create
[card]Zap[/card]

If you want to type an alternate name, put the real card name inside the opening brackets, like so
[card=shadowmage infiltrator]Finkel[/card]
will create
[card=shadowmage infiltrator]Finkel[/card]

MANA SYMBOLS
The second icon  is for mana symbols and other symbols; it has all five colored mana symbols in a circle. The code for inserting symbols is
[mana]CC[/mana]

Put the entire cost inside, like so
[mana]1RG[/mana]
and it comes out
[mana]1RG[/mana]

Hybrids halves should be separated by a slash '/', in any order. Both of these work:
[mana]R/G[/mana]
[mana]G/R[/mana]
[mana]R/G[/mana]

The monocolor hybrids use the digit 2 in place of a color, in any order. Both of these work:
[mana]2/w[/mana]
[mana]w/2[/mana]
[mana]2/w[/mana]

Put a space between the numbers if you have two consecutively, but want them to show up separately. For instance, a number and a monocolor hybrid should be separated by a space.
[mana]4 2/w[/mana]
[mana]4 2/w[/mana]

[mana]2 4[/mana]
[mana]2 4[/mana]


These are the valid letters, numbers, and hybrids that can be used within the mana tags:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 15 16
w u b r g x y z s t q p c
w/u u/w u/b b/u b/r r/b r/g g/r w/b b/w u/r r/u b/g g/b r/w w/r g/u u/g
2/w w/2 2/u u/2 2/b b/2 2/r r/2 2/g g/2

s for [mana]s[/mana]
t for [mana]t[/mana]
q for [mana]q[/mana]
p for [mana]p[/mana]
c for [mana]c[/mana]



DECKLIST
The third icon  turns a list of cards into a deck listing with autocards. The code to produce a deck list formatting is
[deck=decktitle]decklist[/deck]

The deck title is optional. If you want to leave it blank, then use the simpler code
[deck]decklist[/deck]

If you have a sideboard, simply put the word "sideboard" on its own line, then the cards below it.

Comments can come after a card if they are put inside curly brackets or after double dash, e.g.:
3 Healing Salve {comment }
1 Flash -- restricted


For example, using the following code to create a decklist

[deck=Merfish]
--Lands
4 Wanderwine Hub
4 Adarkar Wastes
2 Horizon Canopy
4 Terramorphic Expanse
3 Gemstone Mine
2 Faerie Conclave
3 Snow-Covered Island
1 Snow-Covered Plains
1 Snow-Covered Forest

--Creatures
4 Silvergill Adept
4 Riptide Pilferer
4 Lord of Atlantis
4 Merrow Reejerey
3 Tarmogoyf --[mana]1g[/mana]

--Spells
4Ponder
3Psionic Blast
3 Unstable Mutation
4 Bound in Silence
3 Ajani Goldmane {should be [card]Reveillark[/card]}

--sideboard
4 Unsummon
4 Rune Snag
4 Oblivion Ring
3 Disenchant
[/deck]


will produce a nicely formatted deck listing: 
[deck=Merfish]
--Lands
4 Wanderwine Hub
4 Adarkar Wastes
2 Horizon Canopy
4 Terramorphic Expanse
3 Gemstone Mine
2 Faerie Conclave
3 Snow-Covered Island
1 Snow-Covered Plains
1 Snow-Covered Forest

--Creatures
4 Silvergill Adept
4 Riptide Pilferer
4 Lord of Atlantis
4 Merrow Reejerey
3 Tarmogoyf --[mana]1g[/mana]

--Spells
4Ponder
3Psionic Blast
3 Unstable Mutation
4 Bound in Silence
3 Ajani Goldmane {should be [card]Reveillark[/card]}

--sideboard
4 Unsummon
4 Rune Snag
4 Oblivion Ring
3 Disenchant
[/deck]

I am fairly new to this game. Actually I just bought it today, and I was wondering if someone could perhaps teach me in-game about how things work? Since I've understood you can play 2v2 against AI, that could be possible. Thanks for future responses :3
