Should we make people link to a card from the Gatherer entry when posting decks, much like they do in the actual MtG forum?

No, in LiaThistle's thread, the place where decks should be posted, she has a link to the Gatherer in the first post that people can use. I think that's plenty of direction for people who don't know what cards are.

EDIT, If TCGplayer doesn't do it then I do't see a reason we should.

I agree with Mustache. While the links in the MTG forums you had a nice BB Code to use which was [ card] cardnamehere[ /card] which don't exist here.

Putting in links would be a major hassle for the poster and it doesn't take long to use Gatherer or cardshark to look up specific names.

Ja, im with Mustache and And Zed on this. It would be fine if we had some cool link like on mtgsally, but it would be a major chore having to type out the link for every card in a deck.

You figure most people on here know what the cards do, and if they don't, it really doesn't take too long to just look it up.
