Card database fields

[pixelgeek]

Hey folks

I am in the midst of finishing up a standalone version of the card data in the SBB to allow people to browse cards without building a spell book

The card database currently displays name, type, subtype, school, casting cost and reveal cost

I have room for one more column of data.

What do you think is the most important element from a card to add?

Card text. If the database does not display what cards actually do in game, then it has no use to me when deciding what cards to include in my spellbooks and what expansions to buy. Unless that's already displayed in pictures, in which case I would say that the database should display what sets cards can be found in.

OCTGN does have searchable card text, and it's incredibly useful when searching for combos and gotchas. I know it may be a pain to fit large text into a small column in the UI, but even returning listed search results without explicitely explaining why in a column would be hugely useful.

Spell level?

Spell level?

Totally agree with this.

I'll add level to the data set

Looks good, though you might make the fields with the numerals a bit narrower.
