Your modesty is showing.
You can't put custom cards in a deck on tappedout. One community is for brewing and sharing decks and the other is for coming up with new cards. There's some overlap but this doesn't seem like a great way to promote MTGCS, especially the 'me-centric' feel of the post and claiming that the site doesn't have many people on it. You should probably advertise either the site or your own creations and not try to do both.
Thanks for your suggestions. Take note that the discussion is in the custom card creation forum where it does actually make a lot of sense and would allow for simple, possibly extensive, overlap. Also, with TappedOut users consistently more and more tethered to Untap, this grants another great way to test out customs.
Unfortunately it is true that this site currently is low on activity serious cardsmiths, I hope it changes moving forward!
And those original quotation marks were no accident. I don't by any stretch consider myself the best smith on the site, but in any actual ranking with regard to this site, I have become (due to the users) the most popular. I can think of more then a few more capable card designers than myself. Feel free to debate this point however, I won' t mind altering my observation!
How is that true exactly? Our daily card average is ~700 new custom cards. In April, Cardsmiths made a total of 18,000+ cards - and those are just the cards that were published and saved. What sort of metrics are you using or expecting?
I wasn't referring to the casual card creator (which accounts for the majority of creations), but, rather, the number of us actively commenting and edifying each other and thereby bettering the website environment. Those of us active on the forums and contests etc. etc.
I'm glad there's high activity and all, I just wish there were better ratios between serious cards and design versus "whymtgcardsmith" contributions.
Please correct me when/if I speak inaccurately!
Examples could include cards that make major changes to how the game functions so as to astonish the reader and/or show how all around cool cards are being made daily.
Yes, I'll be adding more images for sure!

That's fair. I really only presented it the way I did because I've been submitting designs I've made here as images to the big custom card discussion on TappedOut lately. I reasoned that they'd like to see where the cards were coming from.
zephramtripp is mentioning my worry on my discussion...
Good point. I really should've only used my own, not used other's.
Oh, whoops, yeah! I totally slipped up there! My apologies XD
You should just make sure to join the daily challenges and look for feedback in the "post your cards here" kind of challenges.
Other than that, it's a great idea to give feedback on other people's cards because it'll convince them to give you some support as well. Although, you should do so for the sake of helping others first and foremost.
Edit: You should also put your cards into set sections on your account, as well as provide references for artwork. This just makes the viewer experience better overall. (This includes links to the image source!)
We have at least 2 new accounts so far! I'd call greater than 0 a success.
Especially in regards to commenting on people's card pages (and replying to messages on them.) as well as posting linked card images. Thus helping new users with the hassles of community feedback and sharing their cards!
