Glimmervoid, Hammer of Nazahn, Izzet Charm, are accidentally low quality.

Izzet Charm looks fine to me, but I agree on the other two.

Also it looks like token scans were obtained from a mix of standard tokens and VIP Edition double-sided tokens: Some of them feature a star instead of a dot in the bottom left part. Not a big deal, but I thought I would let you know in case that is something you want to fix.

Presenting (at long last) Jumpstart:



I've also uploaded an updated version of 2XM that should fix the low-res images and the foil tokens from the original release.

Thank you guys for all your hard work! I was looking on the MEGA site for the Zendikar Rising cards and tokens but I can't find them. I know the releases were recently re-organized (thank you!) and I was wondering if it might have been moved somewhere? Or is it here and I'm just missing it?

[Xitax]

Zendikar Rising appears not to be fully scanned (extended art cards, see Scryfall).

[Protoman]

Any update on ZNR?

[Trong22]

Insanely beautiful pictures!

Hi, i'm downloading the torrent, btw thank you for your work it's amazing, whato do i have to do once i have the complete file? i'm using magic workstation.

[Sielgaudys]

Hello, need a little help. So I used both download LQ set pictures and also downloaded a torrent with the card art from here. My problem with both options right now is that it seems to lack certain alternative art variants. For example - Coldsnap snow-cowered land cards at best have two art variants. Is there a way for me to get missing ones?

Have you tried renaming them from xlhq to full?

Such as:
"Abrade.xlhq.jpg"
to
"Abrade.full.jpg"

Try total commander or download a free renaming tool from somewhere for mass renaming.

Don't ask me why, that's just way it is.

You guys who do the scans are AWESOME! I am so thankful that you take the time to make hi-res scans of all these cards and share them. Do we have an ETA on the recent sets to go on the MEGA site? I've been posting the low-res ones from the visual spoiler on the wizards site, but it doesn't include all the variants, and, well, it's low-res.

Dear CCGHQ Team:
For starters, let me say AWESOME JOB! Your scans are really great, quality is superb and I love them in my Forge.

I do reach out to You with a plethora of questions today (or tonight, depending on where You are and when You read it), regarding many topics. I'll try to organize those questions the best way I can but it ain't gonna be perfect.

Questions related to ongoing work on MTG cards in XLHQ resolution:

1) Do you guys aim to get every set in existence? I'm well aware new sets won't be ready anytime soon (I'm not one of those who keep asking about those in 999 topics) but there are plenty of old-as-earth sets that I can't find no matter how hard I try. REN, RIN, FBB, 4BB to name a few of the oldest ones.

2) Do you guys focus exclusively on scans or are You planning to prepare online-only sets in XLHQ resolution too? For as much as I searched, there is not a single online-only set in your files.

3) How come some of the sets have bigger file size in MB than others? While most of sets are close to a 500 KB number, there are some with sets double that size (around 1 MB). I'm talking XLHQs only.

Questions/Feedback related to current file ecosystem of your XLHQ cards for MTG:

4) Is there any chance you could consolidate your files somehow? As it stands now, files are spread across multiple torrents, multiple MEGA accounts and several forum topics. None of the sources have everything and each and every one of the sources have at least one set that others do not. The prime example would be JOU and BNG sets which are present in only one torrent (last one anyone would ever check) and there's several forum topics (not only here) asking where those are.

5) Are sets released when 100% completed or are there updates to already released sets? Is there any reason to download same set from multiple sources, hoping there are more files there than somewhere else?

Questions related to CCGHQ project in it's entirety:

6) Are you guys scanning and releasing XLHQ files from other card games too? I'm looking for any source of Doomtrooper, Cthulhu CCG > LCG high quality cards, without any success so far.

Other questions:

7) Are you guys supplying Scryfall with files? Their PNG files have the exact same resolution as your XLHQs which rang a "coincidence" bell in my head but since I'm not a pro in graphics I can't tell whether those are the same or one of them has better quality than the other.

P.S. If You'd rather answer any of those questions in PM (for example to avoid off-topic or delicate matters [yes, I've seen the attribution debate]), please: do PM me.

Thanks in advance for taking your time and answering my questions
