Putting together your concept and the tools you've learned you can make a great card! But, how do I do that? One thing, wording, wording wording! This is probably the hardest part of your card, even I struggle with it, yeah I know, crazy. Unlike all the other buttons, these don't insert a keyword into the text box and is just an external toggle. Which you will have to use for your card will usually require you to preview your card first before knowing which one you need. MTGCardsmith only have two font sizes, small and large. And finally, these last two buttons on the side, "Small text" and "Large text". " These are what tells the website to make the text between these symbols to be italicized. You'll probably see these two symbols at the beginning and the end of your selected text. Now, we have the last button, "Italics", If you just press the button, you'll think its broken, but what you have to do is, select all the text you want italicized, and THEN press "Italics". But wait, if you look, that's not the symbol, that's just some weird gibberish! Yes, it gets inserted as some weird sting of text, usually a letter inside of indented brackets ", Add a long dash. When you press one of these silly symbols, it'll insert that symbol into the Card Ability textbox. The top box is full of silly symbols, if you've ever played magic before (Which you most definitely have) you'll recognize most, if not all these symbols. Now look below, you have the meat of the card, what the actual card is gonna do and be! Now hold your horses, what are all these buttons for?! Let's walk through this together. These are the easy ones to fill out, and are basically self-explanatory. From top to bottom we have the following: Card name, Frame color, Card watermark, (optional) Card type, Card subtype, Card rarity, and Card's set icon. Looking up just "Fantasy" and looking around, is a way too find a lot of good art, and it's what I do a lot! Now, you've got your art, and you select it and you press "Next", you'll see this screen: Now, this is a lot, so lets look at what we got here. Or, making a creature? Look up "Wizard" "Goblin" "Mermaid", or just flat out "Fantasy". Making a land? Look up keywords like "Landscape" "Majestic" "Forest" "Mountainview". ) Ok, now you're on your website of choice, how do I find the art I want? Try using keywords that relate to your card. (Word of caution: Gelbooru has great art, but there is a LOT of nsfw, tread carefully, unless of course, you're into that. You go to, press "Create New Card", press M15 Card, and then, you see this: Uh-oh, you need art! Now where do you find you right artwork for your card? Theres a few sights to look: Artstation, DeviantArt, Pixiv, Imgur and maybe Gelbooru. ![]() Now, you have a card in mind, an idea you are satisfied with and you're ready to make your card. ![]() Even I experiment with complex cards from time to time.
