Data Files - Magic - 5th Edition - Omissions

I've found several omissions from the Magic - 5th Edition data files.

All of the omitted cards appear to be reprints from earlier releases.
However, please note that some reprinted cards were included.

I have set aside all of the omitted cards, and I will try to send the
names when time permits.

I just did a quick check and they all appear to be there. I went to the
inventory mechanism, used a filter to select only the 5th edition cards,
then used batch edit. I set the quantity owned to one for each as a test
and that yielded a total of 439 different cards added to the inventory,
which matches the count listed on the Wizards website.

By default, only the most recent printing of each card is shown. If you
have other releases visible, and those 5th edition cards you think are
missing were reprinted in a subsequent release, the 5th edition version
will be suppressed and the newer version shown instead. So the 5th edition
Shivan Dragon will be "missing", since only the 7th edition card will be
shown. To disable this behavior, go to the Settings menu and UNcheck "Merge
Duplicate Cards". This will display every release of every card, so you'll
see all the Shivan Dragons, all the Giant Growths, a ridiculous number of
Forests, etc. But you should also see every 5th edition card properly.

Hope this helps,
Rob

So you're saying that the spoiler list posted on the Wizards website is
missing ALL of these cards? Yikes!

I know that Robert (the author of the Magic files) used the information
from the Wizards website as his source data for all of the sets. So if
there are problems with the source data, that poses a definite problem.

Just as a double-check, I just did a quick check and the Crystal Keep (a
respected source of Oracle rulings) lists the exact same 449 cards in its
spoiler list as is given on the Wizards website. Are you SURE all the cards
listed below were printed in 5th Edition? Please double-check this, since
the list below is extremely long for something to have slipped through both
the Wizards site AND Crystal Keep.

Thanks, Rob
