Magic Data

[Arch]

Just uploading the text version. Don't think anyone is using the data and it's starting to look a bit outdated with the current changes.

Besides the new cards there's been some minor changes to the wording of old cards. The big thing is the level creatures; they look pretty hideous to me. Tell me if you want to re-arrange the text like...

Code: Select all

Kargan Dragonlord
RR
Creature - Human Warrior
2/2
Level up {R} ({R}: Put a level counter on this. Level up only as a sorcery.)
Level 4-7 -> 4/4, Flying
Level 8+ -> 8/8, Flying, trample, {R}: Kargan Dragonlord gets +1/+0 until end of turn.
ROE M


...or whatever.

Since line breaks are important, ruleswise, my guess is that they should stay. We could change the level symbols, though, encase them in brackets or curly braces, which usually indicate symbols.

I would suggest one more change - put loyalty costs into brackets, so Jace, the Mind Sculptor would look like this:

Jace, the Mind Sculptor
2UU
Planeswalker - Jace
3
[+2]: Look at the top card of target player's library. You may put that card on the bottom of that player's library.
[0]: Draw three cards, then put two cards from your hand on top of your library in any order.
[-1]: Return target creature to its owner's hand.
[-12]: Exile all cards from target player's library, then that player shuffles his or her hand into his or her library.

Do you think it would look better?

EDIT: One thing -- it seems that the file contains tokens from duel decks. Those should be probably taken out.

Updated planeswalkers, level-up creatures and removed tokens. Not 100% sure I got all the tokens but think so. Also included Pyhrexia vs. Coalition since I missed it in the last update.

I downloaded what seems to be the most recent file, however I only see a single text file, are there other data files somewhere?

Thanks!

[Arch]

I just decided not to post it this time (see earlier post). Don't really mind doing it if you want them though.

My main qualms about the data is that it could be better. I haven't updated it with regards to the levelers (or Vanguard for that matter). I'd like to separate/remove the reminder text and so on. It's also not really documented how the data is structured, you have to read it to find out.

All of the above are minor stuff but they add up into something I'm not too proud of. Since I'm currently not using the data myself I don't think this will be adressed in the near future either.

Anyway; here it is.

[DarthGator]

Thanks, that worked very well for me, the data seems to be in great shape.

Are there any other sources of card data/images people would recommend?

[Marek14]

Archenemy is out, I think it's not on the Gatherer yet. However, someone on MTGSalvation compiled a card list. Here it is, I removed flavor text and added the set information (apparently, the set code is ARC, which might cause some problems, as the promo Blue Elemental Blast and Fireball are already in MWS under that code).

I don't have compilation of normal, reprinted cards, you can either make your own, or just add the schemes for now and wait for official gatherer.

It can't be abandoned? Truly is inescapable, isn't it?

[Arch]

Added the card. Will however not update at this time.

[Darkdjinn75]

Hello there. I just want to know if all these card modifications and updates will affect Shandalar gameplay mode or just duels 1 vs 1 not in adventure mode. it would be so awesome if this could be all implented in shandalar and make it bigger better and much more of entertaining game play mode. i wish you could add a special card i always wish to be added in this game is "Sneak Attack"

the card it self does like this

Sneak Attack 3 Colorless 1 Red
Enchantment
R:Choose a creature card from your hand and put that creature into play. The creature is unaffected by summoning sickness.. At end of turn sacrifice the creature.

[Arch]

If you are refering to this then it won't have any effect at all. This is only a mirroring of the data in gatherer and doesn't affect the card-pool of any of the game implementations around here.

If you want an additional card in shandalar you should ask in their forum.

[Huggybaby]

Darkdjinn75, quit posting in this topic about Shandalar. I already moved your posts over there once, and yet here you are posting again in the wrong topic. You have been warned.

FYI, any and all questions regarding Microprose's Magic the Gathering and Shandalar go here: viewforum.php?f=25

I don't know what it is but the Shandalar people post in every random forum at this site, it's the strangest thing.

[Marek14]

The M11 Visual Spoiler is on now. Gatherer should have the data tomorrow.
