Not sure if a typo or intended, but Darien, King of Kjeldor is shown in the ingame DeckEditor as Darien, King of..., while others cards with long name will get either a shortened name or name that go past the card (like Demonlord of Ashmouth).

It appears to be an error in the mirage.c file
int choice = do_dialog(player, player, card, -1, -1,
" Subtype Swamp\n Subtype Island\n Subtytpe Fores\n Subtype Mountain\n Subtype Plains", 0);
Probably better to report it as a bug, rather than a typo.

Don't know if it must be corrected or be faithful to the original card but Liability has an errata that doesn't show up in the original card but mentioned in the gatherer.
instead ofWhenever a nontoken permanent is put into a player's graveyard from the battlefield, that player loses 1 life.
Whenever a card is put into a player's graveyard from the battlefield, that player loses 1 life.

Not sure what you mean - the card text in the manalink.xls file and the game reads:stassy wrote:Don't know if it must be corrected or be faithful to the original card but Liability has an errata that doesn't show up in the original card but mentioned in the gatherer.instead ofWhenever a nontoken permanent is put into a player's graveyard from the battlefield, that player loses 1 life.Whenever a card is put into a player's graveyard from the battlefield, that player loses 1 life.
"Whenever a nontoken permanent is put into a player's graveyard from the battlefield, that player loses 1 life."
This is correct - both in the way the card behaves in the game, and according to the rules text from the gatherer.

I think it would be best if we report stuff like this in the bugs section - as it's an error in the coding rather than a simple correctable typo in the manalink.xls card text.

Sonic searching for some values in Manalink.csv I saw that some cards have wrong values for text change as a result the text doesn't change.
|S1 "colour" instead of |S "colour" :
Repentant Blacksmith
Freewind Falcon
|S2 "colour" instead of |S "colour" :
Mountain Yeti
Wall of Light
Weatherseed Faeries
Narwhal
Scalebane's Elite
Edit Sunday 21 - Minion of the Wastes text
"When you play Minion of the Wastes pay any amount of life." on the picture on Gatherer.
and "As Minion of the Wastes enters the battlefield, pay any amount of life." on the text on Gatherer which seems to be the correct and latest.
While we have "As an additional cost to cast Minion of the Wastes,pay any amount of life." in this case Sonic shouldn't we change the text of the card as to what the text on Gatherer is so it is correct with modern rules and better understandable,too.

Nice spot Aswan jaguar - I've checked back and the incorrect |S1/2 codes are a legacy of the original 2000+ manalink3.xls.Aswan jaguar wrote:Sonic searching for some values in Manalink.csv I saw that some cards have wrong values for text change as a result the text doesn't change.

The 'Minion of the Wastes' seems to be a recent oracle text revision - as the card text for the original manalink3.xls was correct as of the M12 release. I've changed it to the latest wording.

Never noticed this thread before. The only one I can think of is on Memnarch when you steal a creature it says, "Stole a creature". Should be, "Steal a creature".

Unfortunately, that would come under 'coding bugs' - as I think you're referring to an error in the cards effect/ability selector menu, and not a simple mistake in the cards rules text.Althuna wrote:Never noticed this thread before.

Random Singleton text says : "Put this card in your deck to get a random mono-colored singleton deck of 60 card."
However, Random Singleton no longer do only that but allow also to generate up to 3 colored deck and expansion selection

Changed to read:stassy wrote:Random Singleton text says : "Put this card in your deck to get a random mono-colored singleton deck of 60 card."
However, Random Singleton no longer do only that but allow also to generate up to 3 colored deck and expansion selection
"Put this card in your deck to generate a random or expansion themed 60 card mono-colored, two-colored, or three-colored singleton deck."
This OK?
