{"ops":[{"insert":"Over the years, users occasionally request a way to add custom created cards to their decks. This would be a significant undertaking for us whether we have the UI for creating these cards or just a way to upload them from other sources. We're interested in hearing what form you'd be interested (or not interested!) in seeing custom cards take on Archidekt.\n\nIf this proposed feature is of interest to you, give the thread a thumbs-up and leave your thoughts below! User interest in each feature will help us prioritize in development.\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":"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":"\tI really like this idea, I really want to make a deck using my own art to play with online, But I understand how it could be difficult to have people manually filter through peoples deck list.\n\tAnd i have read many comments mentioning a NSFW tag which I think is the most viable option. But instead of thinking of it just like a regular deck tag, like budget, and Elves, why not make a slider on the deck creation page that says if your using a deck with custom art and then make a symbol that shows up on people deck image or something. then you can make the NSFW tag on top of that as well.\n\tThen just to be even more safe just make it so that you can't upload custom art for the deck image, only official art.\nIt isnt a fool proof idea but I think more people would appreciate it than not, thank you for your time.\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"}]}
