Added Duel Decks: Nissa vs. Ob Nixilis, Soul Swallower and a bunch of other promo cards.
Update functions smoothly again. One nitpick: CSP2 has a release year of 216, rather then 2016.
Thanks, one better than none ;)
So 2 things I noticed this morning.
1) you did get the prerelease soul swallower but the intro pack cards are still not coming in. They are in the list at http://shop.tcgplayer.com/magic/unique-and-miscellaneous-promos
2) I entered my Nissa vs Ob Nixilis this morning and Abundance was missing. Also, there was only one basic land in there for swamp and forest but there were multiple available.
I will add Unique and Misc from TCGPlayer as entirely new Expansion in 171, is that ok?
Sorry about the abundance and lands, will be fixed by 171 as well.
The intro pack cards are currently in Media Promos. I would say add them there.
I'm assuming magiccards.info is dead so we have to switch to some other comprehensive source of MTG data, and mtgjson.com does not seem to fit the bill.
I have to map by expansion rather than by card print due to current limitations. And we already have Media Promos, so dumping all in the same expansion would create even more mess?
Updates of iMtG database must be automated in order to keep the whole system maintainable. iMtG was created in 2011 because app which was supposed to be maintaining up to date database ceased to do it.
Would be the plan then to move the intro pack cards all to the new expansion? I don't care where they are, I just want them to be consistent in one expansion.
Yes but we may suffer from having duplicate virtual items for one real thing, at least for some time.

If I add another Expansion containing the same item, I cannot remove it from the old Expansion as this will cause crashes for people on older versions (pre iOS 9).
So I will add http://shop.tcgplayer.com/magic/unique-and-miscellaneous-promos as full new Expansion, which in fact is not the case as it contains some items already in Media Promos?
Not sure I totally understand your DB structure, but can't you change the old cards so that they sit in the new expansion?
I can, but that would cause crashes for users on old versions. Workaround is possible but costly, time wise. Mess can be cleaned up later too.
