The order of names for double-faced cards has been reversed and is now incorrect

[bakert]

The order in which names are listed has changed.

Before:

  "Howlpack Alpha": {
    "layout": "double-faced",
    "name": "Howlpack Alpha",
    "names": [
      "Mayor of Avabruck",
      "Howlpack Alpha"
    ],

Now:

  "Howlpack Alpha": {
    "layout": "double-faced",
    "name": "Howlpack Alpha",
    "names": [
      "Howlpack Alpha",
      "Mayor of Avabruck"
    ],

Note: for both Howlpack Alpha AND Mayor of Avabruck entries they used to sort "correctly" and now sort this other way. Ironfang/Village Messenger and Huntmaster of the Fells/Ravager of the Fells are similarly affected. I assume all DFCs are.

This seems to be a bug to me rather than just an innocent change. Mayor of Avabruck is the front of the card and should really be listed first.

[fenhl]

Interestingly, only some cards seem to be affected. For example, Chalice of Life // Chalice of Death is reversed, but Archangel Avacyn // Avacyn, the Purifier is correct.

[bakert]

Also Bruna, the Fading Light doesn't include Gisela, the Voice of Nightmares in 'names' list any more in AllSets/AllSets-x. Probably has the same root cause?

        "name": "Bruna, the Fading Light",
        "names": [
          "Bruna, the Fading Light",
          "Brisela, Voice of Nightmares"
        ],

This one is somewhat more likely to be intentional I suppose although it's a breaking change from our perspective.

[fenhl]

It's not intentional.

I tried to repo this locally but when I clear cache for ISD and rebuild the only difference I get is that the set now seems to be legal in Ixalan block (!) I am probably doing something stupid. I wanted to repro so I could git bisect to the culprit but I'm stuck on reproducing. Anyone got hints for me?

[ZeldaZach]

I ran the full node buildSet allsets To get the current master

[bakert]

Small item of note – non-English json files seem to have the right order.

[bakert]

The all sets run takes a looong time so the bisect is going to be slow :P

[bakert]

real    27m18.760s
user    26m59.674s
sys 0m37.340s

13682a3 has the bug, dad1d16 seemingly does not have the bug although it also doesn't complete because it doesn't know about V10. But pretty sure it's a good commit. Beginning bisect proper.

In relation to the meld part of the issue: AllCards still has three names, AllSets no longer does.

[bakert]

56a49e1 is probably good.

[bakert]

Not sure why I assumed this was a bug in mtgjson. This is a Gatherer issue.

http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=244738 http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=222183

Gatherer has the card numbers reversed.

I think I can patch this on a case by case basis in the set files although that seems fairly gross and far-reaching. I understand we don't have a hotline to WotC/Gatherer folks but I'll try tweeting at them.

I don't see anything wrong with Brisela but I'm not sure what it used to look like:

We generally try to provide patches for upstream issues. If you add one, please make sure that it will survive a full rebuild.

[bakert]

Visiting http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=+[{name}] for these I've determined that the affected cards are:

Mayor of Avabruck/Howlpack Alpha Ravenous Demon/Archdemon of Greed Mondronen Shaman/Tovolar's Magehunter Ludevic's Test Subject/Ludevic's Abomination Civilized Scholar/Homicidal Brute Thraben Sentry/Thraben Militia Daybreak Ranger/Nightfall Predator Village Ironsmith/Ironfang Tormented Pariah/Rampaging Werewolf Villages of Estwald/Howlpack of Estwald Grizzled Outcasts/Krallenhorde Wantons Gastaf Shepherd/Gatstaf Howler Hinterland Hermit/Hinterland Scourge Chalice of Life/Chalice of Death Scorned Villager/Moonscarred Werewolf Lambholt Elder/Silverpelt Werewolf

What makes these special I haven't been able to determine. No ORI, SOI or EMN cards are affected just (some but not all) ISD and DKA dfcs.

[bakert]

The issue for Brisela, Voice of Nightmares and her front faces are bad entries in the new FTV: Transform stuff. Which probably also in turn comes from Gatherer but not sure.

[bakert]

Like true cowards we have patched this downstream.

[magreenblatt]

Some cards from DKA, ISD and ORI are affected (at v3.13.0). You can detect reversed records by comparing the letter suffix of "number" and "mciNumber" values. In cases of incorrect records the suffixes will not match (e.g. "Archdemon of Greed" has "mciNumber": "71b" and "number": "71a", and because 'b' != 'a' the record is reversed). Here's the complete list:

  'DKA': [
      "Archdemon of Greed",
      "Ravenous Demon",
      "Hinterland Scourge",
      "Hinterland Hermit",
      "Tovolar's Magehunter",

      "Chalice of Life",
      "Withengar Unbound",
      "Elbrus, the Binding Blade",
    ],
    'ISD': [
      "Thraben Militia",
      "Thraben Sentry",
      "Homicidal Brute",
      "Civilized Scholar",
      "Ludevic's Abomination",
      "Ludevic's Test Subject",
      "Rampaging Werewolf",
      "Tormented Pariah",
      "Ironfang",
      "Village Ironsmith",
      "Nightfall Predator",
      "Daybreak Ranger",
      "Gatstaf Howler",
      "Gatstaf Shepherd",
      "Krallenhorde Wantons",
      "Grizzled Outcasts",
      "Howlpack Alpha",
      "Mayor of Avabruck",
      "Howlpack of Estwald",
      "Villagers of Estwald",
    ],
    'ORI': [
      "Nissa, Sage Animist",
      "Nissa, Vastwood Seer",
    ],

[lincolnthree]

Looks like they have fixed the card numbers. Perhaps time for a rebuild of the affected sets?

http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=222183

[lincolnthree]

@bakert Could you share your patch? I'd like to apply it to our downstream as well. That said... it's fixed upstream now so no real issue anymore if you rebuild the affected sets.

[ZeldaZach]

If anyone can provide a full rebuild I’ll add it in

[bakert]

Our patch is pretty hacky :D But I've attached it in case it is useful …

dfc.txt

[bakert]

Looks like yesterday's full rebuild 3.15.2 fixed this.

[bakert]

Actually we're not quite there yet although we are close.

AllSets still has:

        "types": [

Only two names for Bruna, the Fading Light. Not sure why. The entries on Gatherer seem to be mirrors of each other.

[bakert]

Every other card that was broken is now behaving correctly.

[bakert]

Bruna is still broken.

[KingSupernova31]

Fixed in v4. (Meld cards have a new bug, which is https://github.com/mtgjson/mtgjson4/issues/65.)
