[not a bug] Homelands Set Cards Missing; 50% Ice Age; More?
Posted: 06 Jun 2019, 22:48
Hi. This being my first post, I would like to begin by saying thank you to everyone who has ever worked on developing or otherwise contributed to improving and keeping this game alive all these years. Truly an incredible effort and such a pleasure to enjoy. One love.
Now, I have been playing with the early sets from the '90s since I never got to experience those and have always been curious to see the origins of magic.
I got to Homelands and I happened to look at wikipedia's entry just for general context and info, where I noticed mention of Irina Sengir and Veldrane of Sengir, but these cards are missing from the Homelands set in Manalink 3.0 (the most recent 30/7/2017 installation for new users posted by Aswan jaguar). However, there is card art for them in the CardArtManalink folder (at least after applying drool66's July 2018 Art Patch - I didn't check earlier).
I only noticed this by chance; since I never played with these sets before, I don't know what cards to expect and am worried that there are other cards missing from other sets that I would not realize. I don't know of any easy/automated way to check the cards in the game against any official card set lists that may exist to find out.
EDIT:
Ok so I manually checked the set list (at gatherer) against the cards that appear in Deck Builder - select tournament formats/expansion - Homelands - enable filter.
It seems that most (73/115) of the set is missing. This is the full list of missing cards from Homelands:
Abbey Matron
Æther Storm
Aliban's Tower
Ambush
Anaba Ancestor
Anaba Bodyguard
An-Havva Constable
An-Havva Inn
An-Havva Township
An-Zerrin Ruins
Apocalypse Chime
Aysen Abbey
Aysen Bureaucrats
Aysen Highway
Baki's Curse
Beast Walkers
Black Carriage
Broken Visage
Carapace
Castle Sengir
Chain Stasis
Clockwork Gnomes
Coral Reef
Dark Maze
Daughter of Autumn
Dwarven Sea Clan
Dwarven Trader
Ebony Rhino
Evaporate
Feast of the Unicorn
Feroz's Ban
Folk of An-Havva

Irini Sengir
Ironclaw Curse
Jinx
Joven's Tools
Koskun Falls
Koskun Keep
Labyrinth Minotaur
Leaping Lizard
Leeches
Mammoth Harness
Marjhan
Mesa Falcon
Mystic Decree
Orcish Mine
Prophecy
Rashka the Slayer

Reveka, Wizard Savant
Root Spider

Rysorian Badger
Samite Alchemist
Sea Troll
Serra Aviary

Truce
Veldrane of Sengir

Have I misunderstood the purpose of Manalink 3.0? Is it intentional to exclude so many cards?
EDIT 2:
Took a cursory look at Ice Age, which officially has 383 cards, but only ~200 in Manalink 3.0. Same for Fallen Empires (~110/187).
I'm guessing that this is the case for other sets as well...
???
EDIT 3:
Legends missing -
Adventurers' Guildhouse
Cathedral of Serra
Divine Intervention
Equinox
Land's Edge
Lord Magnus
Mountain Stronghold
Seafarer's Quay
Unholy Citadel
Wall of Caltrops
EDIT 4:
Ok, so I've noticed that most of these cards were added in the subsequent Battle For Zendikar v2 patch, which is unfortunately no longer available.
Disappointing.
Well, I would delete this now, but instead I want to ask is there any way for me to add these cards one by one myself (taking into account I have no coding knowledge or experience)?
Finally, if not, what is the best alternative for playing with 90s cards against AI? Forge, Xmage, Cockatrice, Untap.in?
Thank you for any help.
