Limitations and known issues
Every tool has limits, and hiding them costs you test prints. This page lists Fabricard's current limitations honestly - what does not work, why, and what works instead. It is the same content the app shows in its Limitations dialog, published here so you can read it before you even open the tool.
URL import works for Archidekt only
Moxfield, MTGGoldfish and TopDeck protect themselves against automated requests (bot protection), so pasting their deck links into "Import from URL" fails. That is their call to make, and it is unlikely to change.
What works instead: Open your deck on the site, use its export function, and paste the decklist here as text. The common text formats (MTG Arena, Moxfield export, Archidekt export, plain text, sideboard lines included) are fully supported - see the supported formats page for copyable examples.
Cards without a printing in your language fall back to English
Not every Magic card has been printed in every language, and some translations are not in Scryfall's database yet. When no matching printing exists, the card keeps its English version and is marked with a small "↩ EN" indicator. Language resolution itself runs as a background pass: cards swap to your language one by one while the preview stays fully usable.
What you can do: Switch to a different printing of the same card (click the card to open the variant picker) - an older reprint may have the translation.
Very large decklists need a moment
Cards are fetched from Scryfall in batches of 75 within their fair-use rate limits. A 100-card deck typically appears within seconds; a maximum-size 400-card list needs several waves, and choosing a non-English language adds per-card lookups on top. The preview appears immediately and stays usable while images sharpen in the background.
Set Browser previews are English
The card grid in the Set Browser always displays English preview images regardless of the language setting. This is display-only: cards you add from there are fetched in your preferred language during the load.
Print quality is bounded by the source scan
The PDF can only be as sharp as the scan Scryfall has for the printing you picked. Most modern printings are excellent; some older or promo printings only exist as lower-resolution scans and carry a LOWRES badge in the variant picker. Picking a different printing of the same card usually solves it.
Everything is stored in your browser, on purpose
There is no account and no server-side storage: decks, settings and saved custom decks live in your browser's local storage. That is a privacy choice - nothing you build here leaves your machine. The flip side: clearing site data removes them, and they do not follow you to another device by themselves. Use the profile export (a portable fabricard-profile.json) or a Share Link to back up or move your work.
Proxies are not for sanctioned play
Printed proxies are not legal in sanctioned tournaments. This tool is for kitchen-table games, playtesting and enjoying decks you do not own - check your local game store's policy before bringing proxies to their tables.
