THIS IS NOT A FINISHED WORK! And I am not actively developing this. Anyone can fork it. If you have any questions regarding this you can send me an email on pedromcaraujo@gmail.com.
I use my fork of https://github.com/bransorem/Magic-Scraper in https://github.com/pedroma/Magic-Scraper to do an initial import of the card into mongo and then just use some python scripts to finish of the import.
