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.
