Oops! In my previous update, I added the "normal" holiday additions to LTR, but I missed the five Jumpstart cards. Fixed!

[New sets]

Hey! Sorry, was rather preoccupied with real life. I'm back! Whole bunch of stuff in this update:

New sets

• The Lost Caverns of Ixalan
• Lost Caverns Commander
• Special Guests
• Fallout
• Jurassic World Collection

Sets with cards added

• Secret Lair Drop, as always
• The latest Holiday card, Seasonal Sequels
• The basic lands for Wilds of Eldraine, which for some reason were missing
• Lord of the Rings holiday additions (and Lord of the Rings Commnander holiday additions). It's weird that they didn't give these a new set code.

As always, let me know if anything's missing or not working correctly.

@WhamBamSam I think if I added them, I'd want to do it as a separate variant of the plugin, so one could opt into it, but by default the plugin wouldn't have them. That way people who don't even know about Alchemy wouldn't have them showing up in their search results and being confusing and unplayable. No promises when I might get around to setting that up, though.

Yeah, for example it runs just fine on my decade-plus old Macbook. I think it's hard to find a reasonably useable computer that won't handle Lackey, specs-wise.

• Added Doctor Who
• Added back the copy of Lucille that's actually named Lucille (in addition to Gisa's Favorite Shovel)
• New SLD cards, as usual
• Changed how "reversible cards" work to match regular DFCs, instead of counting as two different cards. Now the SLD cereal box and baseball card prints are actually playable.

Yeah, RapidShare shut down in 2015.

(Apparently it, or someone else using the name, is up and operating now, but using a .io URL instead of .com.)

Fixed! Huh, I thought when I woke up and Lackey was done downloading, that meant everything had worked. Didn't realize it just moves on past errors and doesn't mention them at the end.

Also I keep duplicate copies of Universes Within cards with both their official and flavor name, and apparently I accidentally didn't do that for Lucille. Will add it back in with the next update.

No worries! There are a lot of things in Lackey and sometimes they're easy to miss. I'm sorry I didn't think of it earlier.

Not sure why those were missing, but I reuploaded SLD and KHM and I'm currently running a "download all" to see if it hangs up anywhere else.

[New Sets]

New Sets

• Commander Masters
• Wilds of Eldraine
• Wilds of Eldraine: Enchanting Tales
• Wilds of Eldraine Commander

Sets with Cards Added

• Secret Lair Drop (I mean okay, this is pretty much every update)
• Lord of the Rings: added all the various alternate art treatments
• Lord of the Rings Commander: same

There are a LOT of new cards, and my server's been weirdly persnickety about uploads, so let me know if you notice any missing or corrupted images.

The search area on the left goes down in order of the columns, a fact you probably can't change. Because you've added enough columns, there's only room for one Text search. At least on my laptop screen, which isn't, like, tiny, the last option is the second Sound. And there are circumstances where it's really nice to be able to search for two different things on a card. So it would be really nice if you could move things like Draft Qualities, Script, Sound, maybe one of the Sets, to after Text. If there are people who like reading the text in the box instead of reading the card, they can still enlarge the column even if its not the last one.

I totally didn't think of it at the time when reading this, but are you aware that you can reselect which field any of those filters apply to? When you click on it and the "Edit Filter" pane comes up, one of the dropdowns lets you change to any available field. You can have six different filters in a row all search the Oracle text, if you like. The ones displayed at first are just default suggestions.

Overwhelming Splendor's text also contains the word "enchanted", which includes "ante". If you want to remove all cards that reference ante, try excluding "ante.", since they all have that sentence about removing them from your deck.

Like the Alchemy stuff? There'd be no way to actually use their mechanics, so I'm not sure that would be useful at all.

Unfortunately I've not found a way around this either, other than using a mouse. My trackpad always zooms in and out whenever I box select or drag cards.

If you do figure out a solution, I'd love to hear about it.

[New (Full) Sets]

• The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth
• Note: only mechanically unique cards for now. I'll come back and add all the various alternate/full art/borderless/etc. prints later.

Scripting improvements

• Added scripts to Garth One-Eye so he can spawn tokens of Shivan Dragon and Black Lotus.
• So uh... I noticed that Magic cards in fact pluralize "Food" as "Foods". Therefore I've changed it back in script labels.

Yeah, unfortunately Lackey only supports integer probabilities. For instance, you can have 5%, but not 4.5%. Since no probability can be smaller than %1, the most chances you can ever have in a pack is 100, and that's only if they're all of equal probability. It's a big limit on what can be simulated.
