After about two months, I've finally finished building a completely new Magi Nation plugin from scratch, and thanks to Trevor, it's now available through PluginFinder! A few new features:

- A format toggle to only play with the released sets, or only 2i produced sets, if you choose
- A listing of all the cards available for the Restricted tournament format
- Inclusion of all major official errata
- The unreleased set Traitor's Reach
- the GEngine fansets Elder's Legacy, Shadowfall, and Keeper's Quest
- Booster packs for all official sets (including Traitor's Reach), as well as the five Unlimited starter packs

To Do:
- Add the rest of the starter packs

You can find the official rules to the game here: http://www.lackeyccg.com/magination/OfficialRules.html.

- Special thanks to joethemexican for pointing me to several TR cards I'd missed!

If anyone finds any mistakes, has any requests, or just has any questions about the plugin or the game, please let me know!

e: Since pluginfinder is down at the moment, you can get the update list manually from this address:

First of all, thanks for doing this!

I have just one main comment about the plugin, which is that there should be a numerical counter or dice (if this is possible) because it seems absurdly hard to track how much energy in pips when it gets up to high numbers.

Also, is Morag really energize: 2?

InShaneee

I actually had the same problem with the pips, but Lackey itself already has a solution built in! Just go to Preferences > Appearance, and check "Show card counters as numbers". Now, instead of pips, you get big, easy to read digits, which makes everything far simpler.

As to your second point, excellent catch! Morag is energize 7, and the plugin has been updated with that info.

OMG! This is AWESOME! I cant wait to use it. You freakin rock!

InShaneee

Hey folks! Please update your plugin next time you play. As I've noted in the OP, I've added in booster packs for all the sets (including Traitor's Reach), as well as the Unlimited starter packs for the five original regions. Enjoy!

I... Hope its better than mine and that people are actually playing it. This makes 3 plugins for MND now lol.

Hello. I have two questions :)
1.What is a restricted card list? Are those some kind of cards you cannot use?
2. I found two different lists (i think). Do you know witch of them is a valid one?

At the end of Magi-Nation's life, there were two tournament formats. "Unlimited", where you could use any card ever printed, and "Restricted", a sort of 'directors cut' with only the creator's favorite cards from each region. For the Restricted format, you are only allowed to use the cards labeled as 'Restricted' in the plugin. I figured some people might enjoy it, it's an interesting twist on things.

The first link shows the PDF I used, which is straight from the company AFAIK. It shows the cards you CAN use in restricted, as opposed to the other, which shows the cards you CAN'T use.

ooooOOOOOOOOOoooo. Haha. Ok, that solves the dilema :) I would never figured it out :) Thank you.

Creators favorite cards? That sounds kinda wierd :)

InShaneee

Well, they were trying not to ban any cards like in M:tG, but they had also got some things in play they really didn't like. If you're curious, here's where they explain the rationale behind the decisions they made for Restricted:

Great Plug-in I might have some cards you don't have in the plugin. lmk of a email I can send the pics too.

orothe

Is there a link to it? I can't find it.

InShaneee

You can find it in the Plugin Finder within the program itself. Go to Preferences > Select Plugin. If you don't see it in the list, try clicking Update Plugin List from URL.

I would just like to thank you InShanee for putting up Magination on here. I am excited to play it finally. I was wondering, not all of the TR cards are on Lackey. Is there any possible way to put up the rest of the cards on Lackey? ;D

InShaneee

I wasn't aware I'd missed any. Do you know what cards are missing specifically? If you have the card images, that would also help immensely.
