Promo cards?
TappedOut forum

How does one make promo cards show up on a deck list, I have the holiday box Karametra's Acolyte in my deck and I would like to make it show the alternate art. What is the correct code to put in (i.e. [RTR] or [M10]

Thanks
I think I've seen them before with a Nighthowler promo and Consuming Aberration

Promos are still being added to the promo set and I dont think the acolyte is up yet, I'm still waiting for Judge's Familiar and Bident of Thassa .

Some cards are defaulted to promos. Consuming Abberation is, I know. Admins set up a promo set for us to use for this purpose, but I don't think many have been added.

I thought so... well it doesn't work yet. Thank you all.

Upgraded users need to submit the card data to the database. All our cards are uploaded by volunteers; we don't have anyone that does it for us.

I just submitted the Karametra's Acolyte , Judge's Familiar , and Bident of Thassa promos to the database. If i didn't screw it up, they should be up soon.

Well guys, I hate to be the bearer of bad news once again, but the facts are what they are I suppose.
Femme_Fatale and myself add a ton of cards to the database, and have been trying to get the promo set 000 to work for forever to no avail. We can get the cards into the database under 000, and they will show up once they are approved. But you can submit the alternate art for the cards all you want, and the default image will still show up.
In past sets when I have encountered this issue, I have simply cleared out the card data and resubmitted it, with good results most of the time. With the 000 set, this is not the case. It always defaults back to the original card image. The only way I have successfully gotten a promo card image, is to submit it for the original card. But then the original image is not present.
I have contacted yeaGO! on this issue and have heard nothing in response.
Epochalyptik does a ton on this site, but I know this is not his area of expertise. My admin levels are not such that it will allow me to dig through any html or CSS code to try and figure out if something is not written right or pointing the set to the wrong image. And so I await answers that seem to never come.
I would honestly love to be put in charge of adding cards to the database and fixing broken cards and info, as I feel I have a good enough grasp of how coding works to be able to fill this role, and am on this site several times daily. But I don't even know who would delegate such responsibility.
Sorry for such a long reply, just trying to get out as much info as I can so others are informed. It is not for a lack of myself or others trying to get these issues resolved that they are unresolved. And once again, I am not attacking anyone, I understand everyone is busy and trying to do a million things at once.

Yeah I just checked it out and it just shows up with the card shape but nothing on it. But I'm not going to be too fussy about the aesthetics of my deck- I can say it is foil and change the set on cards so I am appeased. Thanks to you who put so much more work in to this site.

So, i had nothing better to do with my time but to test the promos, and came up with this: Promo test. I have all the working promo cards in the sideboard and all the ones that don't pull up a promo image in the mainboard. I hope this will be a useful tool for future troubleshooting.

I don't think there is a way at this time.
