Markdown Syntax

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

Quick Examples

Write

Cast [[Llanowar Elves]] for {G}.

Result

Cast Llanowar Elves for .

Mana Icons

Wrap a supported mana symbol in braces. Symbols are case-insensitive, so {g} and {G} both work.

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Art-series, outdated, and non-card records are not used.
Add a set code with [[Giada, Font of Hope|FDC]] to show a printing from that set in the tooltip and card dialog. Set codes are case-insensitive. If there is no match in that set, the name stays plain text. When a set contains several printings, the usual preferred printing is selected within that set.
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
{highlight:orange} Flex slots

Result

Highlight legend:
Combo pieces
Interaction
Ramp
Flex slots

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