MTGA Import / Export Errors

[GusN]

When I try to export a deck from this site for MTGA I get something like this:

Code: [Select]

4 Ashiok, Dream Render (WAR) 228
2 Chemister's Insight (C19) 80
4 Didn't Say Please (ELD) 42
4 Drown in the Loch (ELD) 188
4 Drowned Secrets (GRN) 39
10 Island (GN2) 57
4 Merfolk Secretkeeper /// Venture Deeper (ELD) 284
4 Murderous Rider /// Swift End (ELD) 287
4 Overwhelmed Apprentice (ELD) 60
10 Swamp (GN2) 59
4 Thief of Sanity (GRN) 205
3 Thought Collapse (RNA) 57
3 Wall of Lost Thoughts (RNA) 59

4 Aether Gust (M20) 42
3 Clear the Mind (RNA) 34
4 Cry of the Carnarium (RNA) 70
4 Ritual of Soot (GRN) 84
This causes multiple errors when trying to import into MTGA. The same deck in MTGA exports as this:

Code: [Select]

Deck
4 Ashiok, Dream Render (WAR) 228
2 Chemister's Insight (GRN) 32
4 Didn't Say Please (ELD) 42
4 Drown in the Loch (ELD) 188
4 Drowned Secrets (GRN) 39
10 Island (ANA) 62
4 Merfolk Secretkeeper (ELD) 53
4 Murderous Rider (ELD) 97
4 Overwhelmed Apprentice (ELD) 60
10 Swamp (ANA) 63
4 Thief of Sanity (GRN) 205
3 Thought Collapse (RNA) 57
3 Wall of Lost Thoughts (RNA) 59

Sideboard
4 Aether Gust (M20) 42
3 Clear the Mind (RNA) 34
4 Cry of the Carnarium (RNA) 70
4 Ritual of Soot (GRN) 84
The fix for these seems pretty simple. For the MTGA format, don't write the numbers at the end, which will produce an error when they are wrong, and don't write the second card name for Adventure or 'choose one' type cards, which will also produce an error.

Good catch, thank you for reporting this. I have just fixed the issue with the two card names. For the card numbers, could you tell me what you mean by them being "wrong"? Is it that the set just isn't available in MTG Arena?

[GusN]

For example, Chemister's Insight, the card I have is 32 while the deck exports it as 80, which I don't have any copies that match.

Yes, I believe it's some reason like: the set isn't in MTGA yet, it's not in my collection from this set, or it's some kind of promo or alternative art card that doesn't exist or is uncraftable in MTGA.

Removing the set code and number looks like it makes MTGA choose a card somehow, it might still produce errors if the card doesn't exist in MTGA at all.
