*grins* It's good to be loved...
BTW Aedon...I'm not sure if anyone has explained it to you yet...
The dots and numbers are casting cost. The color of the dot tells you what color of "Mana" you need to cast something. There's red (mountains), Blue (Islands), Green (Forests), Black (swamps), and White (Plains).
There are other kinds of land too but those are the basics.
So if something has say...2 green dots and a (3) that means it takes 2 forests and 3 of any other kind of mana to cast it. Or "colorless".
If something has a little curved arrow, it means you have to "Tap" that card in order to use that effect. Which means that once tapped it can't be used again that turn.
With me so far? *grins*

Along with land each color has traits associated with them. Green which is for nature and linked to elves.
Blue which is for control and knowledge and linked to wizards/mages and used to be linked to drakes (used to have an all drake deck it was fun)
Red which is for destruction and recklessness basically and a bit of chaos and is linked to goblins and other green skins along with some dragons.
White which is for order, strict discipline and alot of humanity and is linked to a lot of human cards used to have a lot of angels and some of my favorites rebels and mercenaries.
Black which is for desolation, death, chaos and is linked to undead, rats, and other assorted things like that.
Of the five they have natural opposites blue is opposite of red, white of black, and green was always iffy then they basically made it everyone had two opposites which doesn't work as well but it meant blue was opposite green and red. White was opposite red and black. Black was opposite white and green. Red opposite White and blue. And green opposite of black and blue.
I write this because I took what the colors mean into account when I determined mana cost haha. There is a whole book series for MtG.

Like the landcard James, how did you get it to take UO screenshots, it keeps coming up as a Black image when i try to upload them. Well first I took a screenshot, and pasted it to Paint (Then I moved in the game and did it again so I could copy/paste my character out of it), then just moved it up to the corner and made the image smaller so it didn't have all that other stuff that's on the screen, then put it on the card editor. Though I never got a black image so it isn't like I was trying different things. I couldn't think of a good image, for this next one, but here it is:

I liked the serious Rotep card, and wanted to make an extra powerful James card...unfortunately a Google search for "Bunny Wizard" got just the sort of results you'd think there would be, but rather then wait until I find a suitable image:

*giggles* Bunny Wizard...
I'd be afraid of googling that...
It's like a Furries idea of "I put on my robe and wizard hat..."
