As the Generic Collectible Card Game is pretty much the only way to play Magic: The Gathering on Linux, I use it as my primary client. However, the cards in the http://www.reneploetz.de/gccg/ repository are only updated up to Lorwyn, so I couldn’t play with Morningtide cards. Googling for them also found nothing.

But there are fortunately some scripts there, which download spoilers from Gatherer and convert it to GCCG-readable form. They needed some updating, and the gatherer output has changed recently, but I managed to get them to work. Then I compiled both the data files and card images into gccg_package compliant archives.

The packages can be found at http://noughmad.fileave.com/gccg/. To install the updates from within gccg, run from the directory where gccg is installed:

$ ./gccg_package source add http://noughmad.fileave.com/gccg/

$ ./gccg_package update

And to install the card pictures:

$ ./gccg_package install mtg-cards-061

This is what you do if you’re using Linux. On windows, I’m not completely sure what you have to do, but I think running:

@perl gccg_package source add http://noughmad.fileave.com/gccg/

Update Everything.bat

@perl gccg_package install mtg-cards-061

in the command line (Start=>Run=>cmd) will do the trick.

You can’t buy Morningtide boosters, because those are defined in the factory server configuration. So to play Morningtide limited, convince the guys at thinlizzy.myftp.org to update or start your own server.

You just can’t buy them using the graphical interface, type /buy MT booster to buy one.

Enjoy!
