Seems to be the same as with Balduvian Shaman that was reported a while back - that I didn't get around to fixing. Looks to be some 20 cards that are actually affected by this. (Having reminder text within the rule.) I'll add it as well...

There's more:

Bayou Dragonfly has its keyworded abilities in one line. That must be due to error on gatherer
Wrexial, the Risen Deep .. the same. Looks like a common practice from the side of WotC.

Pale Recluse - same thing

It doesn't understand landwalk at all since I entered "Landwalk" as the only possible landwalk ability. Will fix.

Soltari Guerrillas has wrong order of mana symbols in its mana cost.

What's wrong about {2}{W}{R}?

The official way is to go the shortest distance clockwise around the color wheel.

The error exists on Gatherer though - http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/ ... rseid=4918

So even my site lists the colors in the "wrong" order - http://ark42.com/mtg/search.php?legal=0&color0=1&color3=1&colormatch=3&pagesize=100&sort=1&startat=0 and the other ~53 R/W cards with mana symbols in the correct order.

I've been refactoring the app this past week as it was getting rusty. Will deliver an update with bugfixes once that is ready, probably by the end of this week.

Looks like it's up on Gatherer now, even though there isn't a link on the main page.

Updated first post.

Besides the sets there were some minor changes to the wording of a few cards.

They also removed some flavor text from some Innistrad card and the flip sides of Budoka Pupil and Cunning Bandit for some reason - I would guess not intentionally. I fixed the flip cards but did nothing to the flavor text.

Arch, Marek, guys, so many thanks. This is crazy useful work.

I was looking around the thread to see if anyone had noticed the disparity in the text representations of hybrid, phyrexian and snow mana between CompRules, magic set FAQs and The Gatherer. For example, hybrid mana is (B/R) etc in cards' upper right corners, but {(b/r)} in reminder text, but only on Gatherer- in card set FAQs it's the other way 'round, (b/r) in cards' mana costs and (B/R) in the text box. And don't get me started on the Snow mana symbol...

I see that the text list you produced uses the CompRules version, which I think is the only sane decision. It's like each text was created by two different teams, working from different specs...

Anyway, now I don't have to go get the cards from Gatherer, I can use your awesomeness-in-text-format. Problem gone. Thanks :o)

And I wish more people would use this excellent time saver. Maybe some folks like to write a parser from scratch, and deal with the formatting hassles, but why reinvent the wheel?
