  • Therein lies the problem
    XD
    Just kidding... but not really!
    It's kind of a pain, but you could ask @mtgcardsmith really nicely, and they might could port them over for you. I know it's been done in the past, but I don't know how difficult or problematic it is.
  • Can't as far as I'm aware.

    The way I go about remaking a card is this (Windows):

    Right click on the card, save image.

    Create a new card using that image (the resolution will suffer so using the original will be better if you can get it).

    Back at the original card highlight and right click on rules/flavor text below the card, copy it.

    Paste into the new cards rule/flavor text box.

    Reformat, rename, republish.

    Hope this helps some. Good luck!

  • How many cards are we talking?
  • You should probably remake them on your account if you still have the images. Got to get those delicious favorites.
  • Yeah, I would just remake those three whole cards. I thought maybe you were talking 40 or so. As a future amazing Cardsmith, you'll find yourself making and remaking cards a lot, so you might want to get a little practice in!
    :D

    Ah yes, I remember back when I was just a greenhorn myself! We had to remake everything on our own, no text saver, no M15 frames, no small text and most of the functions didn't work... but we made do! So we did! People these days have it too easy!

    I say we remove small text function. Do I hear a "yay"?
  • Yeah. No card is perfect when you first make it. There is always room for improvement. Btw welcome to the site! Here are some guidelines:

    1. have fun
    2. Don't insult squirrels. if you do, you are also insulting @Corwinnn.
    3. When you mention someone on the forums, do @Uhren, not Uhren.
    4. Don't insult Origins uncommons or Ephara. If you do, you are insulting me.
    5. Have fun
    7. I missed 6.
    6. 6 comes after 7.
    8. I skipped 7, but there is still 7. What has this world come to?
  • 9. No insulting Selesnya or Timberpack Wolf or you are insulting me.
  • 10. All guidelines before this are meant in good humor, do as you please :P
  • 11. If you make a card based on an anime character using MTG rules, it has to be insanely overpowered and under-costed.
  • @Grimshac - I was actually just petitioning to get a new selection added... "Even Smaller Text" in the hopes we can get every keyword ever invented onto a single card!

    Which brings us to....
    12. You know you've made it when you get a feature on Why MTGCardsmith
  • @Corwinnn Oh, in that case I've made it at least twice.
  • @Biblio2 - You've almost caught up to me! I'm at 3!
  • I still haven't made it. My record for favorites is 10 on Unwanted I will never make it. Nevvvvvveeeeeerrrrr!
