[EDIT] This is now available in the main pack! Get it from there, it's more up to date.
I made the Wilds of Eldraine Enchanting Tales frame.
I had to invent the artifact, gold and colorless frames. I did a decent job for the artifact frame, the other two not so much, so if anyone wants to give them a go, I'll incorporate your versions in the template.
To use it, you will need the very latest version of MSE, otherwise it will pester you about card stamps. The best way to update is to go to the following link, download the Lite pack, unzip it into your MSE folder, allow overwrite, then reload MSE: magicseteditor.boards.net/page/downloadsYou can get the template at the normal MSE resolution of 375x523, or the WotC image gallery resolution of 744x1039, which will look better, but will not align with the other cards in your set if you export them as a PNG. It will have the correct size if you export as a PDF though. If the card is too big to edit in the editor, you can change the zoom value by going in the edit menu > preferences > display tab. MSE Resolution (375x523)
WotC Gallery Resolution (744x1039)

By any chance, would there be an option to disable the transparent textbox (and just have a normal landscape art)?
As I see here on your preview, it looks like solid colors to me, instead of being transparent...

In the style tab, there is a field called "Textbox opacity percentage". Set that to 100.

Hello, I just downloaded this (and yes I have the latest version of MSE) and I was able to change the rarity of one card, and all of a sudden I can no longer edit rarities and the console error of "card has no member 'card_stamp' keeps popping up. How to fix?

You do not have the latest version of MSE. Please follow the instructions in the original post.

Apologies, I thought 2.1.2 was the latest version since that's what the link posted in the main post was directing to.

I also get that same notification, while using 2.1.2 I have tried downloading the Lite, as stated in the OG post, but that also leaves me with 2.1.2... and the notification is still there   |

You have not updated properly.
2.1.2 is the exe version. This number is largely irrelevant, as it does not track updates made to game files and templates, which is where development happens these days.

Just wanted to say thank you for the amazing template! I also wanted to share some proxy I made with this.
I added a few custom mana symbols, so that the tales look a bit more in theme. If I can figure it out how, maybe I can also make adventure cards with this or iterate over the power/toughness container if that is allowed. |

desdemona That is most definitely allowed. Also if you provide the assets you produce, I can integrate them to the template. |

desdemona looking good! if you can do the hybrid mana symbols, that would be perfect.
Also, this template will soon be integrated into the full pack, so if you give me the assets within a few days, you can have your work featured in the official release!

Thank you! I will try that next. I was playing around a bit with maybe making a blend mask for gold cards. Sadly, the gold looks very muted in just a masked blend   makes me wish I could have actual metal-cut outs |

nice!
stretch goal: colorless mana, snow mana, 2-hybrid mana (2 generic or one colored) and phyrexian mana. these are not needed though, I already have enough.
would like to have your gold mask as well!

Sadly, the gold looks very muted in just a masked blend makes me wish I could have actual metal-cut outs separate cutout is something that's doable with the blend mask, you just need a second step in the code. sort-of-similarly, you can simplify hybrid and 2brid by making mana symbols shaped like one of these   |

Just made myself some mana symbol masks for the hybrids real quick - hopefully actual mana hybrids tomorrow In the meantime: Edit - I forgot the mask:  |

Alright, I integrated the symbol font in the template as the default choice.
Will be live when the next big MSE update drops.

Cool! I hope some people will like it! I am also currently checking if I can create Adventure cards:
One of the issues I am having is the line height in the text_2 area on the left side. Is there a good way to decrease, or is there a documentation of all styling attributes somewhere? Is it also possible to set the shape of a card? The property seems to be read only. Currently I am just setting the visibility of text_2, mana cost, type by name_2 being filled or not, I may change this to just check if a card subtype is adventure. |

You probably want to make a separate template for adventure, and set it's shape with:
card_shape := { "adventure" }
somewhere in the init script. That way the adventure part can always be visible. If the user doesn't want it they just switch template.
To change the line height, you use these 3 properties:
line height soft: 0.9
line height hard: 1.2
line height line: 1.5
line height soft is the space between lines, when the user presses shift+enter, or when the text naturally wraps to the next line. line height hard is the space between paragraphs, when the user presses enter.
line height line is the space between text blocks, so for example between the rules text and the flavor text.
There are 3 additional properties:
line height soft max: 1.1
line height hard max: 1.3
line height line max: 1.9
These are the same as the other 3, but they apply when there is a lot of space in the text box. The program will space the lines more, up to these values.
You can find documentation here: |

Thank you very much! I was again absent for a lil bit. However I have tried to work a bit on nyx frames and adventure frames. Also trying to figure out what would make legendary crown like indicators. For the nyx: Raw:  Adventure:  |
