This of course assumes that there isn't some way to do this that I'm not currently aware of. For right now, in Magic20XD6, I've been making booster packs and getting them ready for draft. But, down the road, I'll need specific quantities of certain cards. Either because I'll have plenty of cards, and I only need to print a few to fill in the gaps from draft, or to reprint cards that needed changing after they've been tested. Obviously, the same problems are coming to a head right now in the Community set. As certain cards become very different, it would be best to print 4x card X and 4x card Y. I don't think there's any way to do that right now.

Yeah, that seems useful. The simplest way would probably be to have a text box where you can enter card codes or names, like for a new detail page, and it generates a one-off page with those images. The simplest would be if it just used the normal mark-up formatting, but it would be convenient if you could enter "4 CW01" instead of "((CW01}}((CW01}}((CW01}}((CW01}}"

It might be more useful if there was a way of getting there from a cardlist view: eg. show all active cards, filter by rarity=common, show me most recently changed, select the 10 most recently changed and generate a page with those images. That would be more work and you'd have to decide exactly what it did, so maybe, maybe not, depending how complicated it would be.

The current way to do it is to create a details page (details pages have the "Printable" link at top-right that removes the header/footer/etc), using ((Cardname)) or ((C123456789)) to embed mockups of the cards you want. You're free to delete the details page after printing it, and if you use ((C123456789)) format it can be in any set.

I'll see if there's any other way to do it that makes sense. I could make something like transient details pages, which only exist for long enough to be shown once.
