Thanks SoldT, but your scanner has some vertical lining effects in the black areas. These kinds of things stick out when reduced and sharpened. Maybe you can make an exchange? Generally Cannon makes good scanners.

Got 3 uncommons and a new ad back uploaded, tags won't stick for some reason.

I can't get the tags to stick either.

I've uploaded 9 10 other cards, and the 3 missing tokens, for 12 13 cards total.

I just went through the list, so I've doubled up on the same 3 as tenminutegod, so I guess you can choose between the scans.

- Hero of Iroas
- Herald of Torment
- God-Favored General
- Nessian Demolok
- Siren of the Silent Song
- Odunos River Trawler
- Stormcaller of Keranos
- Thassa's Rebuff
- Eternity Snare
- Zombie Token
- Centaur Token
- Soldier Token
- Springleaf Drum

PS: I'm fairly sure the "new" card back from tenminutegod is actually from Theros, I found it on an old Theros insert card and it has Copyright 2013 on it. I've checked all my token backs and ad cards and can't identify anything new.

EDIT: I've just noticed some dust I must have missed on the top left border of the Soldier Token, if I need to rescan the card, let me know.

EDIT2: I forgot to get the Springleaf Drum out of my deck, so I rescanned the Soldier Token while I was at it.

EDIT3: To avoid double scanning like I did, until tags work again, this is what I believe are the remaining cards:

- Eidolon of Countless Battles
- Silent Sentinel
- Spirit of the Labyrinth
- Arbiter of the Ideal
- Vortex Elemental
- Whelming Wave
- Champion of Stray Souls
- Fated Return
- Forlorn Pseudamma
- Flame-Wreathed Phoenix
- Pinnacle of Rage
- Archetype of Endurance
- Nessian Wilds Ravager
- Chromanticore
- Ephara, God of the Polis
- Karametra, God of Harvests
- Heroes' Podium
- Temple of Malice

The Ultra Pro ad is indeed the same as the Theros one, but it's on the back of a BNG rarity symbols card. I was surprised to see they reused it.

EDIT: ABU finally has the BNG tips/ads up.

Just went out and bought a new scanner. Can someone have a look at this scan and check it's usable?
http://www.mtgapps.com/Scan.jpg

If it's usable, it adds:
- Silent Sentinel
- Spirit of the Labyrinth
- Fated Return
- Forlorn Pseudamma
- Heroes' Podium

(I also uploaded it to the contribution centre, but like others have said, the tags don't stick.)

Assuming my scans are fine, we are now only missing 4 cards:
- Whelming Wave
- Champion of Stray Souls
- Flame-Wreathed Phoenix
- Temple of Malice


Also, do you want uploads for scans of DDM (Duel DecksL Jace vs. Vraska) cards?

Thanks Teppic, I just messaged extreme to ask his opinion.

Edit: Your images are okay, but again the blue channel has some banding. It isn't severe, but it's enough to discount your blue framed cards. Eidolon of Countless Battles shows poorly too, for whatever reason. The rest is usable.

As for DDM, sense it's a box set, I think we can hold out for another scanner.

I started some updates with the contribution center but don't have time to wrap things up right now. All Uploads and Saves are currently disabled. You can still view the checklist, but please post links for the remaining ~10 cards to this thread.

I've ordered the remaining cards (from the US), so I'll scan them if no-one else has by the time they arrive.

Also, I decided the problems with my previously scanned blue cards were the cards themselves (doesn't occur on cards from other sets), so I have scanned Jace vs. Vraska. The only card I suspect may be bad is Jace, since mine had some very light horizontal scratch marks across 1st ability's loyalty cost and the author info at bottom. Not sure if this can be corrected in processing or not.

I just went through the BNG cards and prepared them for processing and I show the following cards missing:

057_Whelming Wave
063_Champion of Stray Souls
097_Flame-Wreathed Phoenix
164_Temple of Malice
Token 10 (Gold)

I have not compared ABU to the advertisement card scans yet.

Edit:
Just looking over some last night there might be some rescans that may need to be done. I noticed what appeared to be banding on some of the blue cards and some red cards had very odd color saturation / tones to them.

I just uploaded the 4 missing cards from the set.
I do not have the missing Token.

Since I wasn't sure the status of the upload tool, I placed the 4 images under the folder in which the uploading tool places all the other images. They don't have any numbers infront of them like the others so they should be fairly noticeable. I also uploaded the entire set image scans I made into my contrib folder.

@Skibulk
Did you ever manage to work on the upload tool? Is it PHP? If so mind if I take a look at the code?
