@BradC Nope, they have never worked in comments, I've always had to post direct fully qualified links to cards into my comments because of it.

@murgatroid99 As would have been deleting the answer to take it out of the question so no one could interact with it.

@Andrew It was an accepted answer and shouldn't be deleted over something like this

@JoeW Accepted answers mean it's the one the asker believed most helped them. For stack overflow, where the answers are more easily testable that's a lot more clear than an exchange site like BGSE. Your answer did answer the basis of the question, if the ramp spell can get 2 or 4 total lands, but had objectively wrong points you defended (not specifying 1/6 of the possible results explicitly when you listed the other 5)

@JoeW It shouldn't be deleted by the community for that, the community should point out the error and it should be corrected, which is what happened, but the poster can delete whatever they post for whatever reasons they wish, if you didn't want to deal with the community correcting it was a choice you could have made

@JoeW And really because of those errors, it was probably the accepted and, at the time, highest voted answer because of FGITW

@Andrew It isn't possible to delete accepted answers, even moderators need to remove the accepted flag before they can be deleted.

Also you don't need to keep pinging me with your responses

It doesn't matter why it was accepted

Fair point then if that's the case, I've honestly never tried to delete one of my own accepted answers, I was able to get to the confirmation screen asking if I am sure I want to delete it, but am not going to delete a meaningful answer to test.

Though that's bad UX on the part of SE's developers if that's the case, if the accepted answer can't be deleted, the delete option shouldn't appear rather than allowing the workflow to get even as far as I was able to get.

Regardless someone shouldn't be deleting a good answer just because it doesn't cover the case of playing 0 land

And it isn't bad workflow, it is designed to prevent answers the help the person asking the question from being deleted.

This isn't the only case of the UI showing something that is prevented by other things

@JoeW My point here is that the site should reject the workflow sooner, not showing the option to delete on the answer at all, or showing an error when it is clicked rather than the delete confirmation message.

It likely isn't as simple as that or they would have done it before now

Just as you will see the review dot at times when there is nothing to review

There are a lot of things that would be nice if they did but they can't do for various reasons

You can always make a post on the main meta about it

@Andrew Ah, so you can get a link in comments using the normal square brackets/parenthesis format, just not using the mtg prefix autocard thing, got it. Thanks
