I don't know how to formally request this, but someone told me that the Metaboard was the right place. Code: Can we migrate the [c][/c] and [card][/card] tags to direct to scryfall.com instead of gatherer.com?

That person was me! I presume. And I second the notion, though I don't think it'd be worth a huge amount of hassle. |

its a little annoying that crusade doesn't work but aside from that i feel like i haven't had any issues with the autocard system i don't use it extensively though |

Scryfall is a better database, so it's more convenient to, when clicking on an autocard link, go to Scryfall directly. It is not a massively needed improvement though, in my opinion. |

Agreed. It would bring some quality of life improvements over The Gatherer, but isn't mission critical. |

Switching where the link goes is very simple (and should work now!). On the other hand, changing where we get the images would take some work - with Gatherer we can just feed it a card name and get an image out, while Scryfall has a more complex/richer API. I feel like getting slightly nicer autocard images isn't incredibly valuable, though, since they need to be pretty small to avoid disrupting reading and navigation, and if you want a pretty image you can just... click the link. So I probably won't do that part. |
