How to update database

Whenever new set is released:

• Add new set code to appropriate block in indexer
• Create new block format if applicable and add it to indexer and Format class

• Run rake test and fix any tests failing due to data changes

Whenever banned and restricted list is announced:

• Update BanlistTest and/or BanlistCommanderTest
• Update Banlist data

• Update data/MagicCompRules.txt with TXT format Comprehensive Rule
• Run ./bin/format_comp_rules
