Did you know? You can now use [ mtg_card = CARDNAME ] in your Escapist posts to create mouse over Magic card displays. Minus the spaces, of course.

Here's an example:
[mtg_card=Chandra Ablaze]

If you're interseted, please check out the new Hexproof article [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/hexproof/9605-Soulbond-The-Buddy-System].

Now that is fairly bitching.

Queue the people having Escapist MTG matches.

That is not a mouse over display. That is a link to the card.
Mouse over said link and you should have an image popup, unless you have JavaScript disabled or something similar.

Im getting nothing. Mabey it just does not work with the most common internet browser out there. That is what I am going with since it always works on every other single site I visit that has it.
Are you using Internet Explorer? Because if so that would be why.

It doesnt work for me. Its probably not on my side since they always work fine on wizards site and star city games. Unless of course its some kind of compatibility issue.
Can you specify the browser you're using? It works for us in several.

That's a pretty sweet feature

[mtg_card=Black lotus]

although to be honest I don't really know what I would use it for. maybe some sort of meta MTG jokes.

I'm such a hipster

I cant help you with that but perhaps that [mtg_card=Deranged Hermit] who lives under my stairs can.
Squirrel decks were so OP. Anyone remember Onslaught block Cleric decks? D:

This guy was the centerpiece: [mtg_card=Scion of Darkness]

I am using whatever the latest internet explorer is.
Weird, it works in mine - it's apparently version 9.0.8112.16421, which I am lead to believe is the latest version (I've applied all updates, so logically it should be). Also, it's completely vanilla - that might be the fifth time I've launched it. Less than tenth, at any rate.

Hmmm... *glides mouse over link* Heheh... shweeeet!

Had to check out [mtg_card=Fact or Fiction]...

Does anyone know if this card is restricted still, or is it outright banned now?

Anyway, came just to post this: [mtg_card=Mirari], the headfuck card (from the books and in open play, whenever I managed to play it, at least)

EDIT - oooooooooooooohh, they reprinted it... *meh* doesn't look as good as the Invasion one...

That's it. I'm gonna [mtg_card=Apocalypse] and get rid of this system before I can begin to over-use it.
