PLEASE USE THIS THREAD FOR POSTING THE SPOILER IN OTHER FORMATS. THANK YOU.
So since we now have the full Theros spoiler, I've turned it into a spreadsheet. Sorry I skipped out on RTR block but the biggest issue I had there was dealing with hybrid mana symbols. The reason for that is this:
The spreadsheet calculates the converted mana cost of each card based on the mana cost. Each variable is counted as 1 - thus, Volcanic Geyser, costing XRR, counts as three, one for X and one for each R. Seems fine there, but the problem comes up when dealing with hybrid mana. At that point, a new symbol has to be 'invented' for each of the ten hybrid combinations. It doesn't sound like much but it's a headache to deal with, and I just couldn't get a system I liked for each of the ten guilds that wouldn't get mixed up with either each other or the five 'basic' ones (WUBRG), X, Y, Z, numbers, or something else. So, I never got RTR finished, and then just didn't bother with the others.
That being said, Theros got back to 'normal' Magic as far as the spreadsheet is concerned, and thus I've taken a few hours and converted it into Excel 5.0/95 format for maximal compatibility. Please message me if you notice any mistakes or information that needs to be updated. Thanks!
Tokugawa: I don't know.EDIT:If memory serves me right, the person who posted the screenshots went and grabbed the text of the cards for those we couldn't tell the full text. So we should have it all. If you catch something on Gatherer that's missing from the spoiler spreadsheet, feel free to let me know
RevisedShivan: Yeah, I get that. Technically, X etc anywhere but on the stack is 0 - so in your library, Volcanic Geyser has a CMC of 2. Realistically though, you don't cast it for 0. It was easiest just to count it as just another mana symbol and use the length of the non-numeric part. The formula used is pretty long but it takes into account fun cards like Decree of Justice (XX2WW) and Dregs of Sorrow (X4B).

However, does the oringinal screenshot spoiler include every line of rules ?
