At the time I'd stopped playing, I'd compiled checklists for every set in the game's history. Yes, everything from Alpha to New Phyrexia. Now that I'm back in the game again, I figured I'd update that project to include recent sets. The old version had been fairly popular here, so I figured I'd share the new one.
You could type in the documents to keep track of your collection digitally, but these are optimized to print out nicely. I aimed for nice formatting, and making efficient use of paper. The idea is to have the information handy when you're not by your computer.
I did the checklists as Word documents, sometimes one set and sometimes a few related sets. I also have ZIP's of several Word documents
The files are .DOCX (Word 2007 and later)
I have Word 2007, so I went with that default.
I didn't want to mess with file format since precise formatting is key to these.
Older versions of Word can understand this format with a plugin. Linux users, I know OpenOffice had problems with these .DOCX's last I checked a few years ago. However, if I have MS Word save as .DOC, and send that to OO, there aren't as many problems. I can do that if there's interest. Also, OO Calc didsn't seem to have a problem reading the Excel versions.
* Lorwyn/Morningtide, Mirrodin/Darksteel/Fifth Dawn, Onslaught/Legions/Scourge, Planar Chaos/Future Sight, Planeshift/Apocalypse and Shadowmoor/Eventide are combined for lower pagecount overall. Time Spiral (including Timeshifted) and Invasion are separate even though for those blocks I combined the later two sets.
-Combined Checklist- https://www.mediafire.com/folder/wy841ejlszaea/Combined_Checklist
For various groups of related sets, I made one Word document that had the checklists for all the sets in the group. Here are those, as well as plain Excel versions covering most of the collection.
(If somebody wants PDF versions of something else, let me know)
Of course, not every checklist looks the same (especially since I assembled them over a large period of time, and tweaked the format for the circumstances of each set). However, the examples above provide a pretty good approximation.
Major revision of the Basic Land checklist
Had forgotten Coldsnap (and the Ice Age reprints in Coldsnap theme decks), Mirrodin Besieged
Moved Collectors Edition, Edgar and Alternate 4th Edition to the same section as ABUR and regular 4th, since they used the same art and this saved space http://www.mediafire.com/view/5sna1n2mdvh13od/Basic_Land_list.docx

Forgot to put separate foil and nonfoil columns in the Modern Masters checklist. This expanded the list from 2 to 3 pages. Since I wasn't jamming it onto 2 pages anymore, I smoothed out some formatting.

Fifth Dawn theme decks had reprints of some Mirrodin and Darksteel artifacts with darker frames. I added those to the Mirrodin Block checklist. There were formatting tweaks on a few individual expansion checklists.

I also renamed some of the older individual set files to elimiante underscores and CamelCase, and added a couple more PDF samples.

Thank you. I've seen some downloads, but you're the first to get back to me on MTGS about the 2014 updates.
