Magic plugin - lots of outdated texts

[psly4mne]

Lots of cards in the Magic plugin have outdated or wrong oracle texts. Some cards have significantly changed wordings, such as Illusionary Mask and Chaos Lord. I wrote a script to check Lackey's text against Oracle, and found 1065 cards that are probably wrong. The list is at http://pastie.org/pastes/9784623/text.

Also, the monoblack Unhinged cards from Farewell to Arms to The Fallen Apart all have the text for the wrong card. Each one has the text of the card alphabetically before it, with Farewell to Arms have The Fallen Apart's text.

most of that oracle text issues are not really significant.

for example Darksteel Relic says "Darksteel Relic is Indestructible." and the oracle text just says "Indestructible". also, sometimes i remove some obvious reminder text to take up less space. if you want to update the card data files and fix the errors, i'll update the plugin.

Yeh, the oracle texts in plugin are for the most part excellent.

Still, that script could be useful for helping make sure the oracle text stays correct and up to date. :O It would probably be a lot of work to implement it, but if a vote of "I love the oracle text thingy in the plugin, and would love to see an 100% accurate update to it" will be helpful at all, by all means count my vote.

I think Bort is going to be a bit more busy figuring out what is going on with the hosting site right now, though. ^^

No one seems to have voted against you, so I went ahead and wrote a quick script to update the oracle texts. I did not fix the black Unhinged cards, because I'm using Yawgatog's oracle text files which don't include Unhinged. I used " | " to separate lines because I didn't like how lines tend to run together.

I wasn't quite sure what to do with DFCs and flip cards. I can change how those are formatted easily if someone has a better suggestion.
