Need Update For Rules

The Rules Viewer needs to be updated to the present with Innistrad.

Can we get the data & apply it ourselves or does someone, hint hint, Snacko, have to compile this for us?

There's a plugin for that Plugins> Crystal Keep Rulings. You can update whenever you want to.

When I updated using the plug in, the app crashes & gives me this report:

Download didn't finish correctly. It happens very rarely, you need to go http://crystalkeep.com/magic/rules/summ ... le-txt.zip and extract it to data folder. Currently there's no fail safe mechanism, however it doesn't happen often.

Ok that fixed it but the rules files are from October 2009.

Is there another source for these files that are up to date with Innistrad?

This is the only source... Well if crystal keep doesn't update then there isn't any beside what Wizards has in their manuals.

Yes, that's what I found too. I've checked there as well as some other places I used to know.

Wizards has a comprehensive rules file available, but the .txt file format of there's isn't formatted in a way that the app needs.
