How to eliminate card sets from the game

I'm trying to relive the golden age of MTG and I wanted to have cards through Urza's Destiny. Is there an easy way to limit or eliminate sets of cards in Manalink 3.0? I saw older patches, but the links to download were dead.

I appreciate any input, it's very cool to see that this game lives on!

If you want to have as many cards as possible from those sets you are better of with Manakink 3.0 . You will need to do some work though. The only way I know is to edit Manalink.csv which is located in magic updater. Probably there is another way easier but I am not a developer to help you.

This is for duels, gauntlet, draft,...NOT for shandalar = adventure part of the game . See * for shandalar.
In Manalink.csv there is a column named coded card (all coded cards are set as 1 and the not coded as 0).
1- If you go and filter the sets you don't want(which are in other columns) and do that set by set as I don't know if you can filter more than 1 columns and then change 1 to 0 in the coded card column, you will eliminate the cards and so sets from the game.
2- Then you need to save Manalink.csv of course.
3- You have to run Magic_updater.bat which is in magic updater folder.
4- When above bat finishes go to updated_files folder copy all files in there and put them in your main magic folder replacing the existent.

* For shandalar things are easier as you can edit shandalar.ini under [Sets] and put the sets you don't want to be loaded there. It is explained there how to do it and lots of options.
