Hello everyone! This is my first post here (despite being a member for quite some time), but I want to share with the community a card design website that I built from the ground up.
The website is called mCardstock. It's fairly simple with a very intuitive design, yet it has some cool features when you really dig into it. If you get lost, there are little help buttons above each of the input areas; little "question marks" in bubbles. I just thought I'd share this here for people to enjoy. Please give feedback, it's much appreciated!
Note: the site may still have an undiscovered bug or two hidden in there somewhere, so just let me know if there are any and I'll try to fix them.

You're welcome. And thank you, too. (You misspelled "designed".) I'll tinker with it and let you know what I think.
I really like this tool! Magic Set Editor has been very difficult to update with new frames, and this tool allows me to see how legends and planeswalkers look in their current official styles.
But there's one significant problem: it won't display more than one symbol at a time in the card's cost.

The editor will take some time to load completely. There's about 50 MB of data to transfer, so just be patient.
Also, the symbols for the mana cost must be separated by a space (no curly braces or brackets), mainly to avoid conflicting symbols, etc...
And in the textbox, you have to place the symbols inside curly braces.
As for enchantment lands... If you really want it, I could change that. I just limited the card type combinations realistically. For example, how would an instant creature work? Or perhaps a creature planeswalker? I just figured I'd keep it to what has already been created officially or is completely reasonable. I just didn't find an enchantment land realistic. However, if there is enough demand for it, sure, I'll change that.
Also, if you're lost or confused about something, just press the question mark bubble above a set of input fields. It should give you a decent breakdown.
Having users separate mana symbols with a space is counter-intuitive, please change it. Going along with this, you should try to have the card's color sensed its cost.
You need to either remove the reliance on loyalty counters for a planeswalker's abilities or insert a field for static abilities.

I think it's only unintuitive because the previous popular editor didn't do it that way. I'm finding that separating the symbols with spaces makes it easier for me to insert hybrid symbols.
It is missing the colorless phyrexian mana symbol, all the colored ones work but I'm not seeing a way to make the colorless one appear.
A agree that the type selection bubbles should either just be in the place of the type box, or the box should just be a working entry field, since that box is noninteractive, but is in the middle of the interactive text input fields. Having card types selected only via the bubbles does limit anyone who might want to create a new card type or supertype, or who wanted to use the existing supertype World, which is not included as an option.

Agreed. There are more horrible input methods than that.

Probably because it's not an official symbol. And really hard to distinguish. But that's partly WotC's fault in their design of phyrexian mana visuals.
If it were up to me (fingers crossed on my editor coming out before the end of 2020 <.<) custom symbols would be a feature.

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.
[thread=239793][Game] Level Up - Creature[/thread]
Hey, so I just reformatted the editor a bit. I just added enchantment creatures/artifacts, I removed all the color bubbles, with the exception of colorless and hybrid, the mana cost input field dictates the card's color, and the mana cost can be typed in with or without a space. I also added colorless Phyrexian mana.
Planeswalker cards are able to have static abilities. Instead of typing [+X]:, for example, just type [static]:.
On another note, I will be adding four-ability 'walkers at some point, hopefully soon.

EDIT: EDITOR won't load.

Hands to the sky
Give a round of applause
For the great Miss Y!
It appears to be placing all of the mana symbols in the casting cost on top of each other rather than in a row.
I'm also not getting any symbols in the text box.
Why can I only combine card types in certain ways? What if I wanted to design an Enchantment Land?

I agree that mana symbols shouldn't be separated by spaces, but that's a minor problem.
The type line shouldn't have a text field. You could honestly just line up the type symbols where that text field is to avoid confusion.
Static abilities for planeswalkers would also be cool, and allowing any combination of card types would be ideal.
For planeswalkers, it would be cool to be able to adjust the heights of the lines between abilities.
At some point I'd also like to see an option to upload or draw a custom set symbol.
