[Builder] Custom cards

{"ops":[{"insert":"This would be Super Awesome!!!\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I think custom card support could really set Archidekt apart from other MTG deck builders.\n\nI'm a new user here, after using Manabox and Moxfield for years. I've recently seen several MTG YouTube videos sponsored by Archidekt, but my reaction to all of them was that I didn't feel Archidekt differentiated itself enough from other services to justify my time.\nWhat sold me was actually an independent search on any MTG deck builders that support custom cards. I both make alt art proxies and homebrew cards, and I'd love to have a place to playtest the latter or even just view my custom thematic decks. The fact that Archidekt is even considering this got me interested in the service.\n\nI don't think an in-built card editor is necessary, as those already exist. A simple image upload system would not rely on any sites Wizards end up going after and allows for total creativity where custom cards can exist outside of standard MTG formatting.\nIn the same way, I don't think the custom art or text even needs to be visible to other users: there are forums already in place for sharing altered card art. A plain \"custom card\" image can display for those who are not the deck's owner*, which renders essentially all of the issues in kws' well-thought-out comment moot. It also means custom card images can be stored in a user's cache and not take much Archidekt file space (or maybe link to a user's Google Drive/Dropbox/other file repository if they want them across devices).\n*if users are interested in Archidekt becoming a new platform to share alters this can be turned into an option, but this brings in the moderation issues kws highlights as well as requiring Archidekt to store an arbitrarily large amount of custom card images.\n\nHere's hoping the system works out, I know I will be playtesting any homebrew cards I make here if it does!\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"On the same way we have custom images in the description, we could have some custom cards using the same principle.\nIt could be a hassle for moderation so maybe have some sort of warning for the presence of custom cards\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Kibo makes banana tokens that don't exist so being able to add a custom banana token would be nice.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"would be widely apriceated \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I think the best way to implement it would be having it as a checkbox option on whether or not you see any of this new feature defaulted to off that way people who want to see it can, confusion will be a nonfactor since you can just turn it off or on. Then for import, I'd have blank card and just let people use other card creators download them then import them onto your blank card from their computer. lastly for art, you could try just selecting a card with a replace art option to import and image and auto size it onto where the art is.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"You made this thread over 2 years ago and nothing has changed despite overwhelmingly positive feedback on the idea. Do you want to maybe go ahead and do that already??\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I think this feature is totally awesome, but like some other people mentioned, people could put bad things on archidekt.\nHowever, all of this could be solved just by making decks with custom cards required to be private.\nStill I am very on board with this Idea of custom cards!\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"This would also help for newly spoiled cards. I often find myself wanting to put cards in decks during spoiler season, only to find that they aren't available yet. Just a text version of this feature would allow for using real placeholders\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Personally i think this feature would be VERY confusing. With how quickly new cards come out these days, i already have trouble figuring out what cards do. But if random custom stuff starts popping up that would be a nightmare\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I know this is an ancient post and Idek if there has been something implemented since this post has been made.\n\nBut I just wanna throw it out there that I wouod apperciate some of these things being implemented.\n\nI made a Watership Down theme deck and would love to be able to do something as simple as adding a name to a card/epithet to a card so I can mark what card represents what characters/things from the book. Being able to swap the art for a proxy art with those characters would be nice too. \n\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"hi, i just noticed archidekt has a forum and that this thread exists. i know it would be hard to add many features and moderate them\nwhat i would like to ask is to add an option for a custom commander card in the commander decks\nin my imagination, i see the option of adding a card in the command slot, so an user would\nclick the button \"Add Custom Card as your commander\";"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"the symbols of the five colors + colorless appear and they are buttons that are to default as grey (yeah, i know the existance for colorless is a nightmare for that);"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"the user selects the color identity of the commander;"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"a very naked template picture appears in the command zone that has the pips of the colors selected that can't leave the command zone and that can't have addiotional tags (sideboard and maybeboard included)."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"after that there could be additional options such as the correct mana value or the name.\n\ni would like this so that the deck doesn't appear in EDHREC and the website would add the \"Rule Zero\" tag to the deck (it can be removed, no reason to add a weird code that makes the tag unremovable)\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"If it's possible to make custom art for existing cards available that would be excellent. That might be an easy add-on to this or not I don't know.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"As someone who is currently working on an alt art/ proxy deck, I can say, just the ability to give a Google drive link or other image host to just plop in as a card slot would go miles. I don't even need the image to load quite yet, but to just track it on archidekt would be wonderful.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"maybe making purely text customs? Because the images might be a bit much for the site....??\n"}]}
