This page describes shorthand for commonly used icons and symbols you may wish to include in your edits. All of these symbols can be used inline with text.

Mana symbols

A single mana icon (or colorless mana) is produced by double-curly braces around a letter:

{{U}}  
{{W}}, {{U}}, {{B}}, {{R}}, {{G}}, {{C}}  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  

When you want to show multiple color icons together, you can alternatively use the {{Color Icons}} template:

{{Color Icons|URG}}    

Resources

The {{Runes}}, {{Crystals}}, {{Jewels}}, and {{Orbs}} templates produce the corresponding icon:

{{Runes}}, {{Crystals}}, {{Jewels}}, {{Orbs}}  ,  ,  ,  

In each case, a number can optionally be passed to the template, to indicate the amount of resources:

{{Crystals|20}} 20  

Sometimes you want to show amounts of runes, crystals, and jewels together. You can use the {{RCJ}} template for this:

{{RCJ|2,000|120|150}} 2,000   · 120   · 150  
{{RCJ|100||20}} 100   · 20  

Expansion sets

The symbol for an expansion set can be produced passing by the three-letter set abbreviation to the {{SetSymbol}} template:

{{SetSymbol|ORI}}
{{SetSymbol|XLN}}
{{SetSymbol|ZVE}}
 
 
 

Card type

Card type icons can be produced using the {{Creatures}}, {{Spells}}, and {{Supports}} templates:

{{Creatures}}, {{Spells}}, {{Supports}}  ,  ,  

Like the resource templates, the card type templates accept a number which is the amount of cards of that type:

{{Spells|8}}   8

Card rarity

A symbol for any rarity can be produced using the {{Rarity}} templates. Pass it a one-letter (C, U, R, M) or two-letter (MP) abbreviation to tell it which rarity you want:

{{Rarity|C}}
{{Rarity|R}}
{{Rarity|MP}}
 
 
 

You can also get a line-up of all the rarity symbols, with one specified rarity highlighted, using the {{Rarity icon lineup}} template:

{{Rarity icon lineup|M}}    | | 

Changing the size

Most of these icons can be rendered at a size of your choosing. All templates above except the Resources templates and {{Rarity icon lineup}} can be passed an additional parameter, which is the size (height) of the icon:

{{G|50}} {{SetSymbol|RNA|36}} {{Creatures||10}} {{Rarity|U|24}}
