Someone needs to do one, and I'm not that someone.  I have premium thingie on MagicWorkstation but I have to wait weeks usually to get official update.

Last update was on the www.magicworkstation.com site as given by some other party (which was much appreciated), but until then, I have to tell opponent that my Juggernaut is actually a Lodestone Golem.

Someone here must know how to update their database quickly.  Please post a primer, or at least specifically how to get WorldWake on MWS as ZEN and WWK are both relevant Vintage sets...

Thank you in advance.

Check out the forums at slightlymagic.net

They usually have the updated masterbase kicking around a few days after the new set, I found worldwake here, verified working: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IR7T7FTI

first post under that thread.  thats zendikar.

hope this helped

Ignore everything in this post.  Read my next post for detailed, simple step-by-step directions on how to sucessfully install MWS sets.  I even removed my current WW and ZEN, just so i could follow my own directions step by step and make sure it works (It did).  Hope this helps

Lotushead is right, there should be a primer on this. A constantly updating thread with links to all the new data would be a sick way to go.

The two links didn't help me yet, although I will probably try to decipher it again later tonight.

By following the instructions on the MTGSalvation page, I still end up with an invalid format for my decklist.  Maybe I don't know how to "compile" something or other.

The other link had me download some site specific program, and then I don't remember what happened then, but no joy yet.

Okay, ignore my first post if it was confusing, let me try it again.

1)copy and paste that into your URL browser.  Something should pop up.  After that hit "Save" and save it to some place you can find it (Desktop is usually a good place) name the file Zendikar.txt

2)copy and paste that into your URL browser.  Something should pop up.  After that hit "Save" and save it to some place you can find it (Desktop is usually a good place) name the file Worldwake.txt

3) Open MWS (Not the online play)

4) Put MWS in Library mode (View > Library Mode)

5) Go to the set manager (Tools > Analyze/Add/Remove Sets)

6) Click "Add New Addition"

7) Fill in the Addition Name (Zendikar or Worldwake) and Addition Key (ZEN or WWK)

8) Click the box that says "Get data from Text Spoiler"

9) Click the little folder button then click for the text file that coresponds with the set you are entering)

10) Click "Next Page"

11) Click "Add Edition"

12) Click "Okay"

13) Repeat steps 5-12

14)  After you have sucessfully installed every set, remember to save your library.  To do this, click on the upper half of the screen (The Library), then click "File > Save Library/Deck as" and select "Master.mwBase" and overright it.

Sometimes it gives an error when trying to add a set, if it does, simply close out MWS, then re-open it.

Thanks go to the people at MTGSalvation for putting the text file togather.

This is why I usually just wait until the "official" patch, as painful as it is to wait.

the key is WW not WWK?

After #10, there is no next page button, but add edition button.

This is where I got so far.


Thank you for the awesome expanded primer, but I've still got a ways to go.

ya, it is, i updated that.

Ya, I guess I wasnt paying close enough attention at that part.



You probobly did not save your master base.

After you added one of the new sets, click on the upper half of the screen and hit "File > Save Deck/Library"

If this didnt fix it, make sure your master base is in the proper area.  To do so "File > Assign Default Master Base" and select "Master.mwBase"

Ok, I got it to work finally (THANKS!) and the difference this last time was I went to "Save Deck/Library AS" and then made specifically sure to save it as Master.mwBase, specifically overwriting the last version.

ill favorites this thread and as new sets come out, ill just post them on here.

You should edit #14 in original post to the SAVE AS thingie.

I PM'ed Wiley to maybe include this primer in his Vintage Encyclopedia, but if this thread gets bumped whenever a new set comes out, that would be great.

Would you mind doing a followup primer for getting pics?  There was a thread about a year ago on it, and I successfully got all sets up to M10, but not ZEN or WWK.

Rise of the Eldrazi is out.
