Sounds like it might be a caching issue? Maybe clear your browser's cache or use a different browser? Oh wait I see, I am getting them on the deck list but not the TABLES (reading is key though I think of the deck lists as tables.) By tables you mean the lists of prices. Yeah I think those are old fashion linked because copy/paste because short time span to commit to article.
About Moat (and the other former DCI-banned cards): I realized just now that tonight's event is Singleton, and the last time we did a Singleton, where traditionally *nothing* is banned, people wondered why the old DCI Tribal Wars cards were still banned now that we can just not care about that obsolete list. Well, in fact, they are not anymore.
So, this means tonight will be the first event ever to have Moat back (and Arboria, Engineered Plague, Extinction, Stasis, The Abyss, etc.), if only in singleton form. Only the cards that are banned in Legacy can't be used.
I'm not sure what the card hover didn't work with your table. I need to see the article pre-submission (or the code before the hover program is run) and I can get it working for next week.
Both the hover and the deck creator will update much faster. In either case, if you add the set code at the end - ":enm)" - it will work as soon as the store adds them.
I certainly wouldn't take the Cathar's Shield highly in draft, I expect it to table almost every draft and it should be pick around 10th-15th.
My opinion on Cathar's Shield is more an observation about creature sizing in Eldritch Moon. Creatures will trade frequently, so if you're able to have a trump you have an advantage in battle. There are some decks that don't need a Cathar's Shield, nor should it go in every deck.
My deck in particular needed the effect because the creatures were pretty bad in combat without it. The Cultist's Staff likely would have been as good, although vigilance was quite a boon to have in some of my matches.
I didn't play the Geist-Fueled Scarecrow because I felt my best option to victory would be to swarm the battlefield with creatures, and at some point I might want to cast two creatures in one turn. The body itself is good, but I thought the loss in tempo would hurt me too much.
I recommend you avoid the card CATHAR'S SHIELD. It is very overpriced for the effect you get. I do not doubt your comment that it helped you in that particular match, but will that Shield be good in an average match?
My advice is: If you're ever thinking about playing with Cathar's Shield, just stop and remove that thought from your mind! There will be something better to take. Eric Froelich publicly rated Cathar's Shield as an "F" (the worst possible rating on his scale), and I think he is correct.
The card Geist-Fuelled Scarecrow is a good card, whether you are playing an Aggro, Midrange or Control deck. May I ask why you do not like this Scarecrow for your Sealed Deck No.2?
To further address this, the css should be modifyable within the article by adding extra classes. (Elements can have as many classes as needed.) So it should be doable without too much trouble.
Thank you xger for this and implementing it. If this will be actually working with new sets as they are released it will be awesome (or is already I guess). This was annoying me a lot and I don't even write about limited!
Just one thing. Would you mind doing slight visual changes, please? Like padding, floating the buttons right at least (see link).
It would only take a relatively minor tweak to allow input of the choice set.
As far as using the most recent printing, the complication is that to allow sorting by CMC, color, rarity, or type I had to generate a list of every card on MTGO. I could show all versions and use that list, but then it is 45000 cards as opposed to 15000, so it would take a lot longer to run. So the sets chosen are just the version that MTGO added to my wishlist when I generated the lists.
Duly noted. *Adjusts deck.*
Working for me as well.

I don't have any hover images pop up for any of his tables

Funnily enough, Doomsday isn't on the Reserved, or any B&R list: It was reprinted in 6th Edition. It's less valuable offline than on.
If you want to continue to use the old deck editor, that is fine.
Oh I didn't do any of this, had Xger not show the initiative, we'd still be hoverless and downloadless. He gets all the credit.
Cards like this are so expensive. That is why players are going crazy about it. - Bath Planet
Your points are kindly noted Marcos, thanks.
Thank for your the comment :)

I hope that answers your questions!
Nice article, interesting to read, thanks.

Good stuff Josh.
Incredible work, guys. Kudos!
Great Work!
It's something I attempted to do, but I added the buttons in the last minute, so it should be better when I update it. Thanks for the feedback
I will pass this on to xger

It would be much appreciated. Thank you again!

The guide has been updated!
Both pic= and tmb= still work.

All the new cards work! Really excited about the links being fixed and the easier to handle deck formatting.
