- Added hand/life modifiers to vanguard cards.
- Added loyalty and brackets around costs for planeswalkers.

It seems that there are only second halves of split cards, first halves are missing. Second halves appear twice, though.

[Arch]

Problem is in core data. Fixing.

Do you somehow extract split cards? Such as Assault // Battery ?

No. Not in a proper way anyway. I used to get the data from http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Searc ... hase%22%5d With the rewrite I did recently I'm looking at http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Searc ... hase%22%5d instead. Notice that both links are going to the same page. This works for transform and flip cards since they have all the data on a single page but double cards have a different format. I'm going to have to do some custom work for extracting and matching them.

They goto different pages for me.

The text spoiler looks like:

text | Open

Name: Assault // Battery (Assault)
Cost: R
Type: Sorcery
Pow/Tgh:
Rules Text: Assault deals 2 damage to target creature or player.
Set/Rarity: Planechase Uncommon, Time Spiral "Timeshifted" Special, Invasion Uncommon, Invasion Uncommon

Name: Assault // Battery (Battery)
Cost: 3G
Type: Sorcery
Pow/Tgh:
Rules Text:
Put a 3/3 green Elephant creature token onto the battlefield.
Set/Rarity: Planechase Uncommon, Time Spiral "Timeshifted" Special, Invasion Uncommon, Invasion Uncommon

The Checklist goes to something that looks like this:

checklist | Open

103 Assault Ben Thompson Red U Planechase
103 Battery Ben Thompson Green U Planechase

I was referring to the links on the pages. From the first link you can extract the card data straight up. The "Assault" and "Battery" links however goes to the same page. So from the second page you have to follow the links on the linked page and then figure out which is actually the "main" card.

Updates fixes double cards and removes letters from the collectors number.

Urza's lands have broken type line:

Land - Urza’s Power-Plant

[Arch]

Fixed for future releases.

Looks like DGM is up on Gatherer a bit early:

Some split cards might still be broken -- just found that there's no Crime and two instances of Punishment.

Probably not going to get anything up until friday, won't be home much until then.

Think that has been corrected with this commit. Haven't verified it yet though.

Updated first post with new downloads.

Thanks for the update, Arch. In the 04-26 release, some of the Planeswalker abilities show up as "[null] null" in the mtg-data.txt file. For example,

Code: Select all

Jace, Memory Adept
{3}{U}{U}
Planeswalker - Jace                                                                                                                                                                       
4                                                                                                                                                                           
[+1] Draw a card. Target player puts the top card of his or her library into his or her graveyard.
[null] null
[-7] Any number of target players each draw twenty cards.
