Collectible Card Game Headquarters

I'm curious about what's the record number of cards added in a single month so far, and how this month will compare to it? It felt like a lot was done this month - it started around 52% and is ending around 58%, so over 10% of the remaining card pool was implemented.

Anyway, 8K cards reached, nearing 60% of the total pool, every set is now above 30% and only 3 remain below 40%. That's a lot of achievements! Congratulations to you guys for the hard work.

Oh and in case someone's interested: I've been trying to keep the list above more or less up-to-date. I use it as reference when I'm "hunting" for cards that can be done. Perhaps it can be useful for other people as well.

As of version 1.53, you can view the total number of playable, non-token cards that were added since a previous release by running the import process and then selecting the "New cards" option in the Status filter of the cards explorer. Against 1.52, I get 652 670 new cards which is by far the most I have ever seen (so well done ).

Thanks to the devs for making it so easy to add cards, and making it so easy to see what needs to be added. Thanks to the guys who add the cards. Thanks to the testers, and then the devs again for the quick bug fixes. It's a nice circle!

The record is 802 new cards, achieved in 1.45 (source https://code.google.com/p/magarena/wiki/ArchivedUpdates) This release is the second highest in terms of new cards added, but in terms of the difficulty I feel that it surpasses 1.45 since it gets increasing harder to add cards since all the easy ones have been done. As an indication, this release (1.53) has the highest number of changes, 1650 changesets, of any release.

I remember that release - Went crazy!

But I agree with Melvin - Most of those weren't implementing new mechanics. Being able to add a fair handful of new, technically challenging abilities (Morph, Transform etc.) Plus a ridiculous amount of script parsing (More love for natural language cards!), costs, abilites, effects etc. Not forgetting the UI changes that also requires - plus importing, updating etc.

A release everyone should be proud of

Just wanted to mention that 60% of the card pool was just reached!

And a more impressive feat seeing that a new set had been released too - Nice work everyone!
