EasyMSE is a Python package for creating Magic: The Gathering cards from code or the command line. It interfaces with an installation of Magic Set Editor 2 and its built in CLI to make generating custom cards easier.

Installation

With Python and PIP installed, open a terminal and enter pip install ezmse

You must have Magic Set Editor 2 installed. Your working directory must contain the .exe and .com versions of MSE as well as its data and resource folder. You must also have the Magic - M15 fonts installed on your computer in order for the cards to render properly.

Usage

Generating a Card

from ezmse import Card

myCard = Card()
myCard.name = "Cheese, The Destroyer"
myCard.color = "red,black"
myCard.castingCost = "2RB"
myCard.type = "Legendary Creature - Cat"
myCard.rarity = "Rare"
myCard.superType = "Legendary"
myCard.power = 5
myCard.toughness = 6
myCard.illustrator = "Kev Walker"
myCard.setCode = "XXX-XX"
myCard.text = r"Indestructible\n<sym>T</sym>: Draw one BILLION cards"
myCard.image = "cheese.jpg"

myCard.export("cheese-the-destroyer.png")

Developing EasyMSE

Clone the repository, navigate to the root folder, and enter pip install -e .[dev]

Features that need added:

• A more genericized Card class that can generate other types of cards (Planeswalker, Saga, etc.)
• Flavor text
• More unit tests! (I'm fairly new to them)
• A way to make pyfakefs a development-only dependency (only including it in the dev section of setup.py makes the unit tests error out upon deployment)
