    What if we make it a game of charades?

    In all seriousness, did you attend the meeting? Do you all Skype in, or Discord chat?

    Yeah, I've noticed that all my threads need some form of tweaking, but in the long run it's for the better.

    mtgnexus is live? Awesome, i'm glad there was an announcement about it >_>

    When the site officially opens there will be an announcement. Some eagle-eyed usere just happened to notice that the home page changed.

    Converted my template to Nexus standards, went okay. The interaction between card image floats and lists is wonky, and it's unfortunate that the order of things in the deck is jiggled around. Both of those are known issues already, right?

    Do you mean how an image float can overlap something below it? If so, I can mention it. The deck thing is more in-depth so dont have a response to that.

    No problem. I already had like every one of these questions at some point when porting over threads, so I'm getting quite handy with the conversions.

    I don't see that numlist is an option anymore. I also see list *is* an option but isn't in the BBCode Guide. Is numlist just a parameter in list now?

    Also, how do we change the font size of our text? It seems that [size] tags no longer work and cause the text to not show up at all.

    In one instance of the list tag, I added in a cardimg that was not meant to be part of the list. It displays the image correctly but if I put the cardimg before the first item in the list (using the [*] tag) it adds an extra, empty bullet point. If I put it after the first actual item in the list, it seems fine.

    I do notice that the deck tags will expand or contract to the right number of columns based on window width. This is nice but I am kind of disappointed that because I keep my window at half my screen size, I can only get 2 columns when it seems that there is enough room for 3. Is there a way to force it to 3 columns?

    Otherwise, the transition is mostly seamless. There were a few hiccups other than the ones I mentioned (the anchors changing was something I had to deal with as well) but overall it seems pretty good. I really like the Header tag and the Deck header and I will be playing around with those a bit more.

    List (bullet list)
    List=1 (number list)

    Size=# where #=% of normal size. So, size=50 will make your text 50% smaller. If you want to do bold header text, there's h1, h2, h3, and h4.

    I don't think you can force the deck columns. I tried adding my Karador deck and the result was not something I wanted to leave up, so I'm jealous that your worked. I'm going to keep prodding Feyd to revisit the deck tag at some point when we get settled.

    Well we finally sold our old house. I'm trying to convince the wife that she should let me take two years off work and become a pro Commander player.

    It's in a topic under off-topic.

    There are some minor things I'd like to see changed on there now that I've had a chance to look around the site for a bit, but I'm content to wait until whatever you're all dealing with around the site launch has resolved. Definitely looking forward to alternate themes, because black text on gray backgrounds with whatever that font choice is gives me a little bit of a headache.

    What a cool resource, thanks! The card image pampering is lovely.

    These ranking things ( Rate3.5 ) would be nice, if it wouldn't be too much trouble.

    All added to the list.

    That was cool - got to register and look around.

    Question about BBCode - will we still be able to change the printing of a card that pops up? I noticed that a card tag on Nexus defaulted to a textless promo.
    Example: [card]Hazoret the Fervent[/card] vs. [card]Hazoret the Fervent|Amonkhet[/card] - Hazoret the Fervent yields the abomination of an invocation, while Hazoret the Fervent yields the legible version with a far less funny name.

    You should hlbe able to select specific card images. [[Naturalize|M11]] should give you that specific printing, for example.

    Missing the Alink and not honoring the anchor tag or the foil tag but otherwise my main deck post went across OK. Will fool with it another time Smile

    A link has been replaced by "anchor goto=" and "anchor id=".

    Foil is added to the list.

    cryogen posted a message on 40 Life
    I just want to jump in and point out that this is a casual format so any "it forces you to be a better deckbuilder" upside isn't necessarily an upside. I'm sure everyone on the RC/CAG Hope's for players to grow in skill and experience, but they want this to be a welcoming format to players of all skill levels.

    I also suspect 40 life is one of the hills they will die on and you'd be hard pressed to change their minds. Doesn't mean they won't listen to compelling arguments though, so keep up the discussion.

    I’m not sure if its the same one. The one I’m referencing had Baetog and Kwai missing, so it was 4/6 not 5/6 like you mentioned.

    I think they were both absent, so we are probably thinking of the same episode and I simply don't remember because it didn't stick out like their unifiednstance on Iona.

    In that same podcast, or a similar one, most (i think all) of the CAG members there didnt think that PE was an issue cause it wasnt that strong or they didn’t really see it being played. They also had some other pretty hot takes, so we’ll see. The only thing I’ve heard reliably is that some relevant change is coming (ie not just to the document).

    I don't recall that, but I know that the RC/CAG is divided on the pervasiveness of PE.

    I'd be happy with that banning, although I can't say I've personally seen her in a long time.

    Her and Stasis are the only two "I'm trying to take the game away from other players" cards I see ran. And Stasis is only in Estrid.

    About a month ago the Wizards podcast did an episode with I think 5 of the 6 CAG members, and they were asked what they would banned. Every single one of them said Iona, so I can't believe she is going to remain legal in the long run.

    Extremely good meeting Commander RC + CAG meeting tonight. Full announcement and updated philosophy document coming on Monday. #mtgcmdr #edh


    It's time to pull our our crystal balls and speculate on Monday's announcement. Personally, I think you better play Iona one last time because her days are numbered.

    And as of now, I can a cess the site through my work (government) computer. So hopefully the site is more accessible than MTGS is.
