Hi again, remember, new to mtg and imtg :)

We bought a set of booster packs that included a promo card and I can't seem to find it in the card database... Any ideas how to add it to my binder?

Also, can't seem to find tokens or a certain artifact creature. Are they in the database somewhere???


Thanks!

I just released rev 57 of database, with some shinies added on. Is your missing card there?

Hi there, I updated the db and then went to Card Database > search for "Angel of Glory's Rise"

With no filters applied, it shows me two results, one from avacyn restored and the other from media inserts. From what I've researched about the card I have, it's from the promo expansion. Does this make sense?

The triple pack promo should be the media insert, if I'm not mistaken.

xaashley

Does it matter that the symbols don't match?

Silent1236

There's only been two printings of {Angel of Glory's Rise}, the standard from Avacyn Restored and the promo from the triple packs, so it should be the right one.

What do you mean the symbols don't match, though?  The symbol on your card compared to the one in the database?

xaashley

Yes, the symbol on my card looks kind of like a firework... The one in the db says mbp.  There's no image of the card in the db so I can't be sure, but that's what shows up in the search

That seem right to you?

Silent1236

Yeah, sounds about right. That should be the one

xaashley

Awesome, any idea about adding these as well?

Pentavite - artifact-creature, m12
Zombie - m12
Zombie - inistrad
Ooze - return to ravnica

A Pentavite is the token card for {Pentavus}.  So it's just a token as well :)

xaashley

Ahhh ok awesome, thanks! Is there a way I can look this stuff up or is it just something you learn?

Silent1236

Are you talking about what's in the database or about the many different cards in MtG?

xaashley

Both I suppose :) knowing that that card is a token of another, etc
