{{MTG}} is a template taken from the Magic: The Gathering wiki that creates a link to Scryfall (a database of MTG cards) that displays the card's artwork when hovered over. For example, {{MTG|The Fourth Doctor}} becomes The Fourth Doctor.

The syntax is as follows:

{{MTG|card name|set name|scryfall set code|#=collector number|title=display name|artist=card artist}}

|card name= is the name of the card, exactly as it appears on the card. |set name= is the card's set's pagename on the Magic: The Gathering wiki. This defaults to "Doctor Who" so can usually be omitted. |scryfall set code= is for the set's code on Scryfall. It defaults to "WHO" so can usually be omitted. |#= is the card's collectors number as it appears on Scryfall and can be used for displaying alternate artwork. |title= lets you override the card's title as it appears in the link.
