Q: Switch Magic card autolinks over to a different search engine, Scryfall

So... we've had a history of bugs with the autocard feature linking to Gatherer. Whatever way we try to link to it, there's always new and different arbitrary cards that break for some reason.

Guys, I know it's pretty backwards to link a reddit question, but it's too specific to be of much use, so can I get some help?

@AlexMitan It's fine. (I'm not sure specifically what to suggest right now though.)

Stack Exchange sites don't deign to be the be-all-end-all or better than other platforms; we just do our thing well. Reddit also does its own thing well, as do forums.

Is this the right place to as for a tag to be created? No "Battle-for-Rokugan" tag yet so I've used "Identify-this-game" as someone in a comment suggested, just want to expedite the correction by asking here

I've fixed it

@murgatroid99 I did a little write-up on simple Chaos Functions in [M]. These are functions that are designed to simulate randomness, but intrinsic, drawn from the board state, and computationally efficient.

They are trivial to check, but impossible to predict. Compare the chaotic ❋ negative integer to one that is merely a random number -1 through -n, which is statistically trivial (the negative integer has a 1/n chance of being any n.)

Well it's that time of year again.... :/

@Rainbolt feel free to improve the answer as you see fit instead of just pointing it out, and save yourself 90% of the typing effort. — Hackworth 17 mins ago

With responses like this, I lose all motivation to improve an answer. There's a good reason why I sometimes edit the answer myself and other times suggest an edit via comments.

Don't be like that person.

@Rainbolt ya it was a bit of an over reaction on their part. Part of the reason why I don't like editing answers.

Too many people see any modifications to their writing as personal attacks on their intelligence/ability.

ie: They see: I changed this, it was wrong, you are dumb since you wrote something wrong. I am smarter than you.
Vs.
I found a way to make a good answer better by building on what you laid down.

But at the end of the day @Rainbolt, don't get discouraged. It is just another angry person on the internet... not like that is out of the ordinary.
