Specific Card Printing Codes
Deck Help forum

I'm trying to put together a deck for my girlfriend, but when I add Dragonspeaker Shaman to the list, it doesn't seem to be adding the correct card...
According to MTG Gatherer, there were three prints of this card (in the 'Scourge', 'Archenemy' and 'Duels Decks: Knights vs Dragons' sets), TappedOut is showing the Scourge version which as you can see, lists it as a 'Creature - Barbarian'.
Does anybody know what 'printing code' I can give it to show the 'Creature - Human Barbarian Shaman' text from the two newer sets? I tried both the [ARC] and [DDG] codes I found listed on Wiki; although neither gave any errors, the card didn't change.. Am I making a mistake or is there a problem somewhere else?
Hmmm... Seems a bit strange to me; the 'Format Help' link in the Deck Builder is where I got this whole idea from. :/ I just noticed the same thing happens with Quicksilver Amulet . While this doesn't actually make any difference to the text, it actually looks like crap compared to the artwork shown on MTG Gatherer.
Oh well, I guess there isn't much I can do about it then. :) Thanks anyway.

Yea I dunno why it does that, perhaps you could contact the site admins and inform them. No worries, my pleasure :)

To be honest I don't think listing a card with the 3 letter acronym matters unless it is in your trade binder, where you can narrow it to the specific set, but it won't change whatever image has been stored for that card apparently as I have seen many cards with this issue as well. I just go based off set, and/or ask what set it originates from.
