Installation
(For multiplayer dueling use this guide).
- Download and unpack these 2 files (unpacking the contents of the Program directory to c:\magic is recommended):
Microprose MTG Mok's Manalink 2.0 Version.part1.rar (92.77 MB)

- Restart your computer.
- Run magic.exe. You should be good to go. Congratulations, you have just installed Manalink 2.0.
- Important: patching beyond this point will cause Shandalar and Multiplayer mode to become corrupted. If you want to play Shandalar or Multiplayer, copy your current installation to a separate directory, and use that exclusively for Shaldalar and Multiplayer.
Now that you have Manalink 2.0 working, you probably want all the latest cards and features. To add those on, download the following (ignore warnings about viruses from the first file... some of the files in that zip intentionally delete other files for cleanup purposes.)
*Latest Code Patch (required): http://www.mediafire.com/?tj5685wvogvz5aj
*Non-Card Art (required): http://www.mediafire.com/file/nzgzzjzuh1o/noncard_art.zip
Alternative server for non-card art : http://rapidshare.com/files/404516253/noncard_art.zip.html
*Card art in Constructed and Limited mode : http://www.mediafire.com/?h2cb2atdlz2qqeu
Delete or backup your old CardArtLim and CardArtNew folders and extract from the archive the folders CardArtNew and CardArtLim into your Magic folder (eg. c:\magic\cardartlim and c:\magic\cardartnew). Missing card art will be adressed as soon as possible as they take time to be shaped manually into Manalink.
With these downloads, you will now have 2 executables: Magic.exe and MagicLimited.exe, which are different versions that contain different cards.
You can download an add-in that lets you interchange cards from both versions here: Updated Deck Editor
