Arch and Ark are two different users on this forum, and I don't think there is an Arc. Both of us have posts involving similar magic card data from Gatherer, although different methods and different goals.

Hey Ark, why not put a link to viewtopic.php?f=96&t=3371 in your sig?

I guess because I have sigs always disabled on all forums I visit. People tend to put huge images in their sigs at lots of places and it gets annoying with 1 line replies and 20 line sigs.

I agree, those are annoying, which is why it doesn't happen here. I imposed a size limit on sig images some time ago. One guy got around it somehow but he doesn't post here any more.

Any chance of someone doing symbols for the just-announced Gatecrash? Wizards posted the symbol on their page but only in gold (rare).

I'm working on the Gatecrash Symbols now...
Whoever scans DotP 2012, I need symbol scans @1200 DPI - Common, Uncommon, Rare, Mythic please.

Presenting Gatecrash... Until I have scans of a mythic rare from this set, I cannot confirm that the white band goes through the center of the gate...

Can I get a set code confirmation? I'm taking a stab in the dark with "CMA". How about "GTC" for gatecrash too?
Here's Commander's Arsenal symbols:

They just posted some HQ scans of the mythic rare foil cards from DD: Izzet vs. Golgari on the main site too, if you can make out the expansion symbol from that. If not I'm sure we'll see it in a larger capacity before the set is released.

The ones I see are still too low quality to see what's going on in there - I need legit 1200dpi scans of each rarity symbol for the set.Imaginarion wrote:They just posted some HQ scans of the mythic rare foil cards from DD: Izzet vs. Golgari on the main site too, if you can make out the expansion symbol from that.

The Sorin vs. Tibalt symbol was included in the Arcana announcement on the main page a few weeks back as well so that one should be doable if anyone has the time.

Alright,
These aren't perfect. Going forward I won't be creating symbols for sets which Gatherer supplies medium quality images. For this set they have done just that. Wizards' symbols may be downloaded using Ark's Gather Downloader software. They're usually made available a couple of weeks after the set release.
It's just not worth the time to do these when they'll never be as accurate as Gatherer's. I will not be vectorizing Sorin vs. Tibalt, or future core set symbols, and expansion symbols. I will do specialty symbols which Wizards doesn't release i.e. Salvat 2011, etc.
