[Builder] Custom cards

{"ops":[{"insert":"There are two categories I'd like to see here. \n\n1st, I sometimes proxy real cards because I don't think the official art does it justice (and this is an opportunity to use the oracle text). \n\n2nd, I homebrew my own cards. \n\nI'd like to be able to add both to these into my Archidekts. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Personally, I'm not interested, and I do have custom art proxies for a theme deck I made. My real concerns are\nSeeing homebrewed cards not super obviously appearing as such in the deckviewer."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Getting nsfw, hateful, or borderline-nsfw art popping up in searches, deckpages, etc."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true,"bold":true},"insert":"However"},{"insert":", I get people want the feature and I don't want to yuck anyone's yum, so I'd support the effort as long as certain measures are in place. I know many won't use the custom art for nefarious or nsfw graphics, but because some definitely will...\n\nIf implemented, I would really want toggle switches in my user settings to make sure I can\nIgnore decks with custom (mechanically) cards completely on the site from searches, homepage, community updates, etc. "},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Toggle off custom art for deck images when searching and for all cards when browsing others' decklists."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Maybe there could be an exception option that permits custom art/cards from followed users only in searches and deckpages."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nHere are some challenges I foresee with implementing this feature\nIn addition to the art, custom cards with text that's nsfw, hateful, etc. will probably require incorporating some kind of text search/filter."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"I don't know if this would really be a problem or not but possibly super high resolution images or uncompressed image formats could slow down deckpages. Easy solution I think would be to restrict filesize/format."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"While single images may not include nsfw content, the way archidekt stacks cards in different view settings means people can take advantage of mosaicking to present nsfw graphics piece by piece with custom arts overlayed on eachother."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"You'll have to include a way for users to easily report decks and users abusing this feature to get them taken down, but also have to do it in a way that prevents trolling, anonymous reporting, and report-bombing of decks, like those by popular creators and such."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"For the love of Emrakul: no GIFs or video formats in card art please."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Possibly, you could have a \"Card Creator\" where you could create a card by importing real cards with new images (have seperate stuff for importing frames and importing images, also allow for editing of such cards) or new cards entirely, with new text and so on."},{"attributes":{"header":4},"insert":"\n\n"},{"insert":"Or you could try and get "},{"attributes":{"color":"#00aced","link":"https://twitter.com/ImKyle4815"},"insert":"@ImKyle4815"},{"insert":" (twitter) to connect up card conjurer and archideckt with importing cards. (This could be done with other card maker websites, but card conjurer has the most extensive database of card frames real and customized, and kyle is a very friendly guy, also, card conjurer is very user-friendly, even a beginner can go right off the bat with awesome cards.)"},{"attributes":{"header":4},"insert":"\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"[deleted]"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I would be interested in the ability to add custom art (proxies or alters) for a card. The way I envision is that in the Set dropdown one could select \"Custom art\" and then upload an image. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I am interested in this feature because a friend made some custom partner commanders of myself and my partner that I want to make a deck to play against him and his partner. I prefer an artless method (e.g. a form to fill in all aspects of a MTG card) to do this. The alternative I'm using is two partner commanders of the same colour identity in the decklist and a footnote in the deck description with the custom cards.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"You could give us the ability to import the cards from our files and photos, to solve the issue of less safe for work artwork and card stuff you could make it a per deck thing, where you would have to go to a deck and import a file as a custom card, but those cards stay in that deck exclusively unless you put the same card in other decks, that way you don’t have to worry about nsfw stuff on the main site, because the only way you would see it is if you went to the actual deck. And also you could restrict the custom card thing to private decks only. (Sorry for the wall of text)\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Even something as simple as being able to choose the name of the custom card--with no other features--would be massively helpful. I personally use other sites to make custom cards, so I personally am not interested in having Archidekt devs implement a complete custom card creator with all the snazzy features.\nI would really enjoy seeing integration with external custom-card-creating websites, but if that's not feasible, placeholder cards with custom names will meet my needs.\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":"Maybe integration with MTG Cardsmith or another custom card builder? Potentially with some kind of API call to whatever their DB is, rather than hosting the custom cardmaking system internally. I feel like that would cut down a lot of the development process on your end.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I'd very much enjoy this feature. Been making some homebrewed cards for me and my friends and we'd like to see them in here when homebrewing decks. Now, I don't know anything about website design and coding, but the ideas for filtering to, by default, not show up decks with custom cards feels correct. It could also simply be that you add custom cards to your collection and can only use them in private only decks and such.\n\nI dont think this site would need its own card builder unless yall cant figure out how to allow people to import cards, be it pngs of their custom cards or links or what have you. Overall, very much been dreaming of this feature.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"For me, even just a \"fill in some text\" placeholder would be great. The continued improvement to the \"Tokens & Extras\" section (which is awesome) finally has me thinking of managing my tokens here rather than in a spreadsheet, but there are some tokens that WotC never got around to printing...\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":"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"}]}
