Importing & remixing

Two ways to start from a card that already exists: import a real Magic card from Scryfall, or remix a public card someone made on PipGlyph. Either way you get your own editable copy, and the new card remembers where it came from.

How to

Import a real card and customize it

Pull a printed card's text and art into the creator, then change what you like.

  1. Step 1: Search for the card

    In the creator, choose “Search a real card” (sign in first). Type a name, or use Scryfall's search syntax, such as t:dragon r:mythic. Switch to “Tokens & emblems” to find those.

  2. Step 2: Pick a printing

    Choose the card, then the printing you want. The printings can be narrowed by look: borderless, showcase, full art, old border and more.

  3. Step 3: Choose the frame and the art

    Take the printing's frame (or the nearest one PipGlyph has), or keep your current frame. Tick “Also import artwork” to bring the printing's art in as a starting point.

  4. Step 4: Use it as a starting point

    “Use as starting point” fills the form: name, cost, type line, rules text, stats, rarity, flavor text, artist and set details.

  5. Step 5: Make it yours

    Change anything — rename it, rewrite the text, upload your own art in place of the original — then save it as you would any card.

Imported text and artwork remain subject to their original copyright; the Disclaimer page has the full notice.

Imports & remixes

Can I import a real Magic card as a starting point?

Yes. The editor's import tool searches Scryfall (the community card database) for any published card and seeds the form with its name, mana cost, type line, and oracle text — optionally pulling its art as a placeholder. From there you edit it into your own design. Imports are for personal remixing and playtesting; the card page tracks the Scryfall lineage and shows other public remixes of the same source card.

What is remixing on PipGlyph?

Remixing forks any public community card into your own editor — the design lands as your editable copy, and the new card records its lineage. Card pages show an 'Also remixed by N others' chip that links to every public take on the same source, which turns popular designs into community design conversations.

Can I rebuild my CardConjurer cards in PipGlyph?

There's no direct file import from CardConjurer, but rebuilding a card in PipGlyph's editor takes a minute or two — you re-enter the name, mana cost, type line, rules text, and art. If the card is based on a real Magic card, PipGlyph's Scryfall import can pre-fill those fields for you to customize.
