What does the Set Editor do?

It modifies the files common.txt, uncommon.txt, and rare.txt which are used to generate the booster packs which are used for sealed and drafting.

Why does the card text not show activated abilities?

The set editor only reads the card information from the file "cards.txt" which doesn't include activated abilities.

Are any statistics generated?

Yes, the set editor shows a number of statistics so you can evenly balance the set. When you view the statistics your files are automatically saved.

Can I use the keyboard?

Yup, you can use the up and down keys as well as these keyboard shortcuts.

z - common

x - uncommon

c - rare

v - none

Just press the z key and it will make the card common.

How does the sorting work?

Each time you sort you are sorting the current listing of cards. So if you sort by color and then type, it is different than sorting by type then color. Sorting by the card name "resets" everything.

What is the order of "sort by color"?

WUBRG, multi-colored, land, artifacts

What is the order of "sort by type"?

Planeswalker

Artifact Creature

Artifact

Creature

Instant

Land

Sorcery

Enchantment

Why is Master of Etherium and Sarcomite Myr sorted incorrectly?

Because they are blue and yet they are artifacts, usually artifacts are colorless. Basically it is just an error.
