AlexChurchill/MCGAbilities

By today's standards, completely obsolete. Low resolution, not many colours. Pretty-much completely replaced by VGA and its enhancements.

A module for the /MagicCardGenerator. That page is the interesting one - you probably want to be there.

This module contains all the BNF referring to activated, triggered, and static abilities, as well as keyword abilities, pseudokeyworded abilities like "this can't block", and all the Imprint code.
