A customized version is also available here, with modifications specifically to support this format:

Consult the documentation of those projects about how to install and use them. Generally, output files produced by encode.py are intended for use as training input; for example, the file called data/output.py here is also included in mtg-rnn as data/mtgencode-std/input.txt.
## Magic Set Editor 2
MSE2 is a tool for creating and viewing custom magic cards:
http://magicseteditor.sourceforge.net/
Set files, with the extension .mse-set, can be produced by decode.py using the -mse option and then viewed in MSE2.
Unfortunately, getting MSE2 to run on Linux can be tricky. Both Wine 1.6 and 1.7 have been reported to work on Ubuntu; instructions for 1.7 can be found here:
https://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu
To install MSE with Wine, download the standard Windows installer and open it with Wine. Everything should just work. You will need some additional card styles:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/msetemps/files/Magic%20-%20Recently%20Printed%20Styles.mse-installer/download
And possibly this:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/msetemps/files/Magic%20-%20M15%20Extra.mse-installer/download
Once MSE2 is installed with Wine, you should be able to just click on the template installers and MSE2 will know what to do with them.
Some additional system fonts are required, specifically Beleren Bold, Beleren Small Caps Bold, and Relay Medium. Those can be found here:
http://www.slightlymagic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=14730
http://www.azfonts.net/download/relay-medium/ttf.html
Open them in Font Viewer and click install; you might then have to clear the caches so MSE2 can see them:
```
sudo fc-cache -fv
```
If you're running a Linux distro other than Ubuntu, then a similar procedure will probably work. If you're on Windows, then it should work fine as is without messing around with Wine. You'll still need the additional styles.
I tried to build MSE2 from source on 64-bit Ubuntu. After hacking up some of the files, I did get a working binary, but I was unable to set up the data files it needs in such a way that I could actually open a set. If you manage to get this to work, please explain how, and I will be very grateful.
