Masterbase changes

I downloaded the new masterbase I'm noticing several cards are under different set names from previous versions of the masterbase I downloaded here.

Where are the authors of the masterbase getting thier set lists?

I refer to magiccards.info but the masterbase has never reflected the divisions found there.

You're talking about MWS, right?

Yes, sometimes it happens.

From their heads. Cataloging promo cards is a hard thing. There may be different approaches. It is up to the author.
P.S. If you're a collector, try Magic Album instead of MWS. In MA card move from one set to another won't affect your inventory.

I see, well I've updated my masterbase to reflect the card categories found on magiccards.info.

I've attached it if anyone is interested. It's updated to the most recent promo cards as far as I'm aware.
