I'm trying to use card tags and differentiate between, for example printings of Tovolar, Dire Overlord // Tovolar, the Midnight Scourge between Innistrad Moonlight Hunt #246 and Innistrad Moonlight Hunt #311.

Putting in "Tovolar, Dire Overlord // Tovolar, the Midnight Scourge|Innistrad Moonlight Hunt #246" results in Tovolar, Dire Overlord // Tovolar, the Midnight Scourge|Innistrad Moonlight Hunt #246.

Meanwhile "Tovolar, Dire Overlord // Tovolar, the Midnight Scourge|Innistrad Moonlight Hunt #311" results in Tovolar, Dire Overlord // Tovolar, the Midnight Scourge|Innistrad Moonlight Hunt #311.

These appear to be the same to me. Am I using the syntax for card tags incorrectly? I didn't see it in the BBCode guide for multiple cards of the same "set". If I just missed it, I guess I'd request an update to the BBCode entry for card tags to cover this corner case.

Good Morning!
In order to card a specific printing, the best way is to tag it with it's nexus printing ID.

If you look at the "normal" version:
cards/innistrad-midnight-hunt/68149-tov ... ht-scourge
You'll see it's specific ID in the URL - 68149

Syntax is straight forward: [card]Tovolar, Dire Overloard|68149[/card]Tovolar, Dire Overloard|68149

The 311 Promo is:
cards/innistrad-midnight-hunt/68150-tov ... ht-scourge
Thus: [card]Tovolar, Dire Overloard|68150[/card]Tovolar, Dire Overloard|68150

This reminds me, I need to add quick copy buttons for [card] and [cardimg] for card pages, so it's simpler.
To the beaten, the broken, or the damned; the lost, and the wayward: wherever I may be, you will have a home.
