#Card art doesn't always match the set it's from and I can't figure out why.

Cards from secret lairs and some misc sets for some reason don't use the actually art for that version of the card, they just default to the original or newest art. I've checked settings and tried looking for an answer but I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix it.

The problem with SLD is it's an evolving set where they're always adding new versions of the same card, so unless you're updating your images manually it's not able to keep up with the correct artwork. For an example (I'm making these numbers up):

Wizards' releases an SLD Counterspell card (collector number 10), Forge names it Counterspell.fullborder

Wizards' releases another SLD Counterspell (collector number 50), Forge names it Counterspell2.fullborder

Wizards' releases another SLD Counterspell (collector number 25), Forge names it Counterspell3.fullborder

The images are now out of order. Nobody really has the time to keep these up to date and renaming them correctly. Even if we did, once you have Counterspell2.fullborder on your hard drive, you'd have to manually delete it yourself to get the new updated correct version.

It's just too time consuming. As annoying as it is, I'd recommend when you see these kind of problems, it's likely something similar to the above and the only real fix is to delete/replace manually as we unfortunately don't have a way inside Forge to replace images etc.

Possibly yeah but depends on the set. Our collector numbers don't always match Scryfall for various reasons. Tbh we need a proper audit of all of that and the images on our ftp at some point but finding the time to do that isn't easy. But yeah unfortunately, the fastest and easiest way is do it yourself

I think the majority should work fine though, just those edge cases
