Use the Cardeditor.exe . It should be in your magic folder by now.
search for the cardname and you will have the cardID (cardID=artworkID).

another possibility would be to save the card with the missing artwork to a deck and open the deck file (magic\playdeck\example.dck) with the notepad.
the number on the left next to the card is the cardquantity , left of that is the card ID.

ID->Qt.->Name
.1234 4 Example Card

once you have found the card ID all you have to do is create a .jpg file with the artwork you want to assign to that ID. (remember , the card needs to have 4 digits)

examples :
0001.jpg would be the artwork for cardID 1
1200.jpg would be the artwork for cardID 1200

place the new artwork into your CardArtNew folder if it is used by the constructed version.
place the new artwork into your CardArtLim folder if it is used by the limited version.

Cursed scroll has always had an art. But it's true that those features are sometimes a bit tricky to find for newcomers.

Please go to this topic and download the relevant file.

Th card art new folder is a copy of my own card art new folder, so that's where I got it.
I along with Salbei (and with a helping hand from Bog wraith), take care of the card pics, so If we do the job right, the folder with those arts is up to date most of the time. and should be around the place where you found that one.

we are not so careless as to leave whole collection of cards with the wrong pics. 8)
