XML files for (almost) all MTG cards

[Emashzed]

Many persons are working on code generators, card editors, or making their cards "by hand" (sometimes only including the english text).

I just thought I'd try to help and do the basic work "once and for all" so everyone can concentrate on the "interresting" bits.
So I've made myself a little card generator that extracts info from gatherer + magiccards.info and generates every card for every block.

The files are available in my mediafire folder :



Each zip contains all the cards for a given MTG block.
The XMLs contain full localisation for every DOTP2013 supported language (when it exists), and all "basic" abilities (such as flying, hexproof...) as best as I could do with automatic generation/detection, and also correct MultiverseId, artist, type, etc, etc...

It's not 100% perfect, it's not complete cards (specific scripting still has to be done by hand), but it takes care of 95% of the automatic and tedious work when working on cards.

Edit: Added cards for Portal sets and Commander
Edit (12 Nov 2012): Added Return to Ravnica
Edit (13 Feb 2013): Added Gatecrash to r2ravnica v2.zip

Here is an example of a generated card :

I hope this is useful for some people

great great work man!

Conflux is missing. Are you going to add it later?

I think it is in alara. The number of cards will match (Shards of Alara, Conflux, Alara Reborn 539 cards % 20 lands missing)?!?

[Emashzed]

Yup, Conflux is in Alara.
Each zip contains the cards for its 3 expansions (except Lorwyn/Shadowmoor of course) ; minus the basic lands.

[--Dream--]

Correct, thanks!
