Looking for specific arts that should be in the system.
TappedOut forum

Basically, the issue here is that there is apparently special artwork for various cards released with VMA shown here: However some of the artworks are not shown on WotC's actual card image database, shown here.
Can anyone find me the cards with the missing art?
I mean if push comes to shove I can make the card images by scratch with the magic set editor to have those images.
Bonus points if you can find me VMA card images for every card that isn't in VMA format shown on the WotC card image database for the VMA set above.

Here's an example of the "..."
Also, timevault art and skullclamp art are hella amazing, just saying.

I may only just MSE the cards with the art that is missing. I don't think I can photoshop 300 cards to have the VMA set done with the yellow highlighting on the keywords. I mean, I may be insanely obsessive with the card database, but not to that extent.

No no, that's not why I mentioned it xD I was just saying that the printings themselves have poor framing but awesome art, so art plus normal frames/text will be awesome, even if the cards themselves aren't ever printed like that.
I can see players get confused and asking why no store has these for sale, and maybe even legal issues putting fake cards as real ones, so those should be considered first.

Yeah I guess ... It is just irritating when WotC promises new art but doesn't grant it.

How about art for judge/fnm/promo cards? i have a few nice ones in my collection that i would like to display in the matching tappedout decklist, i mean, i did spend a lot of money searching for the specific printings for the reason of showing them off, while that in and of itself may not be tappedout's concern, i would be willing to get ahold of a scanner and send the images i have to you myself, i also collect promos and could continue to do so as i got new ones. my response time may not be great, but i would love to eventually have more access to choice in the display of decklists

i feel i may have misinterpreted this a little and that were not talking about display in tappedout, but proxying =p

Please do not Reanimate old threads rebellion.march.
The code for the promo set in decklists is it's TLA in a single set of square brackets. On T/O it is 000. All you have to do is check the cards tab.

yes but that image set is sorely lacking, and a number of imahes in it are not the promo image, but a core set image or some other such

That's because it is hand done, and there is no database for promos that was released by WotC. The image has to be of high quality to use, and it can't be scanned. The promo set itself also has quite a few problems. There is currently one user who is doing all the work for the promo set. The hard part is finding the promo image first.

Well, the issue is that mtgo pictures often have ...'s in them. In fact, I think that the MSE VMA pictures you're considering as a MUCH better option. (Although, I imagine there being some legal loops to jump through...)
