Markdown Syntax

Use Markdown in deck descriptions and private deck notes to format text, show mana icons, and reference cards.

Quick Examples

Write

Card References

Wrap a card name in double square brackets. Resolved references render as clickable card names with the same tooltip used in deck notes.

Write

- Lowercase canonical name: [[lightning bolt]]
- Normal canonical name: [[Sol Ring]]
- Front-face name: [[Commit]]
- Full split or double-faced name: [[Commit // Memory]]
- Flavor-name alias: [[Hawkins National Laboratory]]
- Printed-name alias: [[Doric, Nature's Warden]]

Result

Lowercase canonical name: lightning bolt
Normal canonical name: Sol Ring
Front-face name: Commit
Full split or double-faced name: Commit // Memory
Flavor-name alias: Hawkins National Laboratory
Printed-name alias: Doric, Nature's Warden

How card references are matched

Matching is case-insensitive.
Canonical card names and front-face names are checked first.
Printed names, face printed names, flavor names, and face flavor names are also supported.
Canonical matches win before printed-name or flavor-name aliases.
Side-B-only face names do not resolve in Markdown card references.
Art-series, outdated, and non-card records are not used.
There is no syntax for forcing a specific printing.
Card references do not resolve inside links or inline code.

Highlight Legend

Use highlight color markers to build a legend for your deck. Type {highlight:yellow} to insert a small yellow square, then explain what that highlight color means.

Write

Highlight legend:
{highlight:yellow} Combo pieces
{highlight:blue} Interaction
{highlight:green} Ramp

Result

Highlight legend:
Combo pieces
Interaction
Ramp

{highlight:red}
{highlight:yellow}
{highlight:blue}
{highlight:green}
{highlight:purple}
