MTG Salvation

Wow, this is awesome information! How did you compile it all? Discord and the PlayEDH server?

I wrote some scripts that scrapes tappedout and Cockatrice's card database. It's all automated now.

Like a boss! With your permission, I'd like to try and format it to MTGSal coding sometime and create a separate post OR edit this one so that it can be a running tab of the metagame and meta card choices. This kind of information is awesome and deeply appreciated.

Yeah man, go ahead, anything you need from me, just say something.

Just want to say what an amazing piece of work. I am sure the whole community appreciates this. Please keep up the good work!

I tried downloading your work into Excel and Word, and I'm having some difficulty doing so. I'd like to be able to transpose the pdf summary you included as a series of spoilers so that your work is easily accessible to the MTGSal community here. Lots of clicking and downloading otherwise, which makes the information a tad difficult to access.

Yeah, the first one I did, I loaded it onto Google docs but it was even harder to get the data files. I had to use tab separated values (tsv) because of all the commas in the card names. So I just zipped up the data files into "Q1 Data.zip" at https://github.com/TemporalInept/ESoLW/blob/master/Q1 Data.zip, just download and extract on your local computer. As for the document itself, I'll look into. I'm not using windows so I don't know how easy/hard it is to convert the document to word.

Eh, anything that converts the PDF into an edit-able format will be sufficient. I essentially need to be able to copy and paste it into the MTGSal coding platform is all.

I'll try unzipping the files via the link there. I'll chime in if I have tech difficulties!

OK, I look into making an accessible format for the document.

Hey Temporal Inept, I wanted to reach out and ask if you've done a Q2 analysis yet? I'll be editing your original post and title to more accurately capture the information that you're providing here.

EDIT: I edited the OP post to make it more visually appealing and easier to navigate.

I have it ready to go and was thinking of a June release in order to allow the surveyed decks time to update. I was hoping to get a mtgsalvation format or at least html but am running into difficulties doing so. I think it will be ready for Q3 though.

Awesome. You can post the links here and I can update the OP to include them like I've already done.
