This is a quick reference guide to the forum sections, and what to do in them!
MTGC Boards
This is the subforum for any new related to MTG community, whether it be welcomes, rules, guides, or updates! Be sure to check it often!
App Information
Here's a section for the soon-to-be Android app! Ask questions about development, things in it, when it'll be released, etcetera! You can also say that you want a certain feature to be in it or donate to the programming!
News
This is a section for updates, news, or other really needed information for members! Most often only the first page stuff will be needed.
Help
This is a section to ask how to use certain features, what things on the forums mean, what to do when things break, and everything else a newbie could ever need to get started! Mods (And other users) will tend there constantly!
Welcome
An area to introduce yourself, whether you've been playing for 10 years or 10 months! Any intro is appropriate here (PG-9!), but don't post a bunch- just keep it easy!
Forum Creation
A temporary place to discuss the forums, members, ideas, and anything else to be added!
Trials
Oh noes! Something bad happened! xXTrOlLmAsTeRXx harrassed you and trolled massively! Come here and start a trial! Kuberr stole hundreds of dollars in a trade? Come in here and open a trial! However, there are some formalities! Also, don't give out addresses publically. That may not be an official rule but I'm pretty sure that violates the US constitution somehow. That counts even if you're not in the US.
Magic: the Gathering
The subforum for anything Magic related, whether it be card uses, rule questions, games, speculations, or random facts about Wizards! Post away!
Discussion
you can count on most of the stuff being here! We've got spoilers, speculation, card uses, information, and just about everything else but rules and games! Be sure to read the guidelines for what should be posted here instead of somewhere else, which I'll make soon enough!
Rules
Confused about a card text? Wondering if you could have played this card here? Well rules sure is handy for that! Well tended by our reasonably smart staff (
) and always answered, any question about a card is welcome there! Make sure the questions are obvious, though- we don't want a 3,174 thousand character post to ask if equipping is instant speed.
Wall Games
A section where you can just play any format against your fellow MTGC-ers! Just post the game you want and play! Cheating is definitely possible, but it really ruins a lot of the fun when you do that. Any deck, any format, any rules, any players! A great way to test, that's for sure.
Articles
Noticed something cool you want to write about? Want to give advice to new players? Put an article in here! However, before you post it make sure it's been refined and has proper grammar! You can post things like how a certain creature type could be a colour most people wouldn't expect (birdbrain
) or you can write about how certain decks function or something like how many copies of a card you should run!
Make-A-Card
Fun contests designed around new cards or a fun card you made of someone or a cool fanmade thing you saw is put riiiiight in here. Be sure to be nice when posting about people! I know Mishrasupreme may be a bit of a jackass but don't post a PW of him and all the abilities are related to "Be a jackass"! Also, keep things nice and tidy around here.
General
This is a subforum for, well, just about anything else! Your favorite video game to a cool painting to how to cook a steak, anything else goes in here! Games are going to be heavily dominant (and very exiting), but all are welcome!
Discussion
Basically everything you want to discuss is in here! Politics, religion, and world problems go here! The debates may get heated, but be sure to follow the rules- There have been times people have snapped!
Creative
A lot of stuff goes here! Stuff like how-tos, games, cool drawings you saw online, or cool videos can be put right in here. There will be a lot of topics, but they should be easy to navigate! Just be sure of one thing- No topics are explicit unless labeled (NSFW) in the name. NSFW means 17+ language is permitted here. Everywhere else, PG-9, please!
Decks
This area should be very self explanatory. You post any decks in here, be they commander, standard, modern, casual, legacy, or vintage! Be sure to link all the cards in the deck, and keep all decks legal and playable in the formats put into! Further guides are available in each deck section. Decks will get a lot of feedback, some of which you may not like! If you don't, don't flip out- just say something like, "I'm not sure that card would benefit me enough to use it, thanks for the help!". When leaving feedback, be nice! Say something along the lines of "I think this card may help you more than this card!" Don't say "This deck sucks tear it apart and make it like this! *Proceeds to list off a deck*"
Community
This is where everything related to trades is put in. Whether it be an offer for a card or your whole binder, put it in here.
User Pages
If you have a binder to share and want people to see it, it should go all up in this section! Make sure you title the post with your username, and make everything nice and organized. Link all your cards, and don't post anything but your binders! If you complete a trade with someone that was good post a compliment on their thread, or maybe like their binder!
Trading
You want a card from people? You just got a card that people want? You updated your binder? It needs to be in here. Keep things specific to people in PM's, and keep everything obvious to readers! But, feel free to go wild with requests!
If anything else needs to be known, ask around! An answer will be soon!
