Magic Rules Tip template

[Idle Muse]

This is a style which can be used to make rules tip cards to go with your set, just like in real booster packs as of tenth edition and lorwyn onwards.

Example:


It is based on Shadowmoor and, to a lesser extent, Lorwyn rules tips. It allows you to choose a background image and a set logo if required, and lets you choose the color of each font in the styling options. The rarity can be changed by clicking in the top-right corner of the card. To make mana symbols in the title or text box, either type and select the code and click the star icon on the top bar of MSE (next to Italic), or use the Format/Insert Symbol... menu.

Current issues to be resolved:
- Due to a bug in the way forward_editors are processed, the card title is not currently multiline. It will be in future releases.
- Many tips cards have text that wraps around a background image. If you wish to do this, you have to enter the extra spaces yourself to pad out the text; there is no way of dynamically defining a mask image at the moment.
- The toggle for text shadow on/off is a bit laggy; if it doesn't change straight away, change the text colour a few times until the shadow comes on/off.
- Text shadows are only enabled if the text is black or white.

Tenth edition "Tips and Tricks" cards are a little beyond the scope of this style. Maybe I will have a go at them in the future.
But for now, enjoy adding rules tips to your sets!

I actually like it. My only thought is that I'd like to see it sort with tokens, away from other cards.

Well, a quick-and-easy way to do that is set the rarity to special, and choose to sort special separately. Unless you are using special for something else, this seems like a simple solution.

Well, in my version, I can just paste in the correct code for it.
