Decks
To help clarify the logic of Archidekt's api we use the following decks to test combinations
Strombreaker
This deck is of format=7
(custom), includes the card "Ral, Storm Conduit"
, has the color identity Red,Blue
and was made by user sumneuron
.
Examples
1
&andcolors=true
&cards="Legion's Landing // Adanto, the First Fort","Ral, Storm Conduit"
&colors=White,Blue,Black,Green,Red,Colorless
&owner=sumneur
Will not return the deck "Stormbreaker" which does not included the card Legion's Landing // Adanto, the First Fort
.
2
&cards="Legion's Landing // Adanto, the First Fort","Ral, Storm Conduit"
&colors=White,Blue,Black,Green,Red,Colorless
&owner=sumneur
Will return the deck "Stormbreaker" which does not included the card Legion's Landing // Adanto, the First Fort
.
