==Manalink 2.0== On December 2007 an unfinished user-created mod from 2005 was made available that includes some of the missing cards from The Dark and Legends (notably gold cards) as well as a majority of the cards from the 8th Edition card set. These additions are not available in the Shandalar portion of the game, but can be used for single matches, gauntlets, sealed deck play and multiplayer games. In addition, the game engine was partially updated to reflect 8th Edition rules. A few bugs with existing cards were fixed, but at the same time new card bugs and engine issues were introduced owing to the mod's unfinished state. In March 2009, after the manalink.de forum had been down for some time, many contributors relocated to the Collectible Card Game Headquarters (CCGHQ) forum at SlightlyMagic.net, where development continues. More than 2,000 cards (the limit imposed by the original program) are now playable, by swapping different groups of cards in and out of the game. A "Challenge Mode" and various other play modes have also been made possible, along with new artwork. All these changes are optional and involve compromises to the original game, most notably by making multiplayer unstable. The last major challenge involves expanding the Shandalar portion of the game. It is now understood how to do this---it involves expanding arrays using assembly language---but no competent programmer has yet been willing to spend the time. <ref>[http://www.slightlymagic.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=25 Manalink 2.0 forum at CCGHQ<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
