MTG Salvation

I do not doubt that the package is a package.

Artist's site, somewhat NSFW

Wow, Tireless Missionaries. Am I the only one thinking that these creatures are horny? Nyehehehe.

Heh, as a matter of fact, I had to stop mid-sentence to "Nyehehe" when I was complaining about that card yesterday.

I'll have a Sharpie and a coin with me whenever I'm at risk of busting one of these. Heads: I replace all 3's with 5's. Tails: 4W -> 2W.

They updated Battlefield Percher and nobody cared!

i try to install zendikar on my mws reading that instructions but when i load a deck mwspñay says; load deck error:invalid file format
Can someone help me??

That happens to me a lot. Open the deck in MWS first (not MWSplay). Sometimes this works fine, and you can start a game from there. If so, might wanna save it. Otherwise, it'll complain about some number of cards. Usually their expansion is spelled wrong in the .mwdeck file, sometimes the card name itself - or it might be spelled correctly but your patch has misspelled names, eg Cliff Treader or Æther Figment. MWDeck files are just text files - just open it in notepad, correct any mistakes, save, and try again.

I don't really understand how to add this, could anyone help me? (Where is add/analyze/remove sets)

It's under Tools.

So, here's what I do, assuming a clean, up-to-date install:

-Open MWS
-Hit Ctrl+M
-Click a card in the top frame, just to be sure
-Tools->Analyze/Add/Remove Sets ...
-Click Add New Edition
-Edition Name: Zendikar, Edition Key: ZEN
-Select "Get data from text Spoiler"
-Click the open folder icon, navigate to your saved .txt file, click Open
-Leave the rest unchanged; click Next Page
-Select "No Starter Packs"
-Set Booster Commons to 10, not 11 (but leave Booster Lands at 0)
-Click Add Edition
-It should tell you 249/249 cards were added
-Click a card in the top frame again, just to be sure
-Ctrl+S to save the new Master.mwBase
-Exit MWS so the changes can take effect
-Everything should work when you start MWS again

I keep a copy of mws094f.exe and mtg_gamepack.exe, as well as my last officially-downloaded Master.mwBase and Data\Sets.dat files, on my hard drive. It doesn't take long for me to Uninstall Magic Workstation, run the .exe's and AutoUpdate, and add the newest text spoiler.

Here's my Zendikar MWS text patch, pulled from Gatherer.

I suspect I'm duplicating a lot of people's work.

I haven't tested this yet - I'll make changes if anything goes horribly wrong.


Edit: Works fine for me. Not sure why I'm getting 13-card boosters, though. Maybe the 1 Land cancels out a Common.
Let me know if you find any formatting errors.

Edit 2: Ah, AEther Figment.

Edit 3: Nothing major. Just accidentally had ALL BLUE MANA SYMBOLS AS BLACK. Did a find + replace to change. Hope everything's good now.
Sorry to those whose time I wasted!

Edit 4: Last edit introduced a typo to Caller of Gales' entry. Island (235) was also skipped when I patched, couldn't tell why.
Edit 5: Ewww, file had become corrupted, lots of random '?'s.

Edit 6: Just cosmetic. 'Landfall- ' to 'Landfall - '.

Preeminent Captain was missing first strike!

lookin good

heh, waterspRout weavers

Note that Inspired Sprite is actually a 2/2, not a 3/2.
Redeem the Lost costs 1W, not W.
Stream of UnconSciousness.
Stingmoggie was still Stingmoogie in its rules text.
Nice work cleaning up those ’ ’ ’ . . . They were annoying with my card images.

Made those fixes. Leaving artists and flavor text alone.

Assuming Cenn's Tactician is uncommon, since Forfend is common.

You might find me playing LOR-MOR Sealed on MWSPlay while the novelty lasts.

Nice to have the full, 100% accurate spoiler (though less important with Gatherer updated).

But, I do wish Caranthir's list hadn't been removed. I've been learning these cards as they're spoiled, and have several mental corrections to make now.

Quote from disturbed01

Well sorry everyone thats what happens with lack of sleep and being sick. You slip when you are trying to help out. I'm sorry I miss typed the info but sad to say I have no scanner or cammera so I had to type it all by hand and to ERR is human. Once again sorry if I got anyones hopes up by mistake. I'm sorry.

Oh well next time I will just keep my mouth shut if I get the spoiler before its all posted here. Once again sorry yall.

After all I am human and far from perfect.

Five sorry's is way too much! You definitely made your point, I don't think even someone who preordered could be upset with you.

Do you know how many people are enjoying Lorwyn on Magic WorkStation right now, just because you took the time to type all those cards for us? We appreciate it A LOT!

It is WE who owe YOU a big THANK YOU!

I made a table of Lorwyn creatures' races and classes.

This must be the simplest set ever, in those terms. Removing Advisor, Archer, and Scout would be even better.

It feels strange to have no triple-type creatures in the whole set, after the last few years.

This all assuming spoiler's correct.

Judge of Currents 2/2 or 1/1?
