mtgdeckhunter | Gathering library to identify decks

mtgdeckhunter is a Python library. mtgdeckhunter has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. However mtgdeckhunter build file is not available. You can download it from GitHub.

Uses your Magic the Gathering (MtG) library of cards to search within decks downloaded from Deckbox, MtG Goldfish, and MtG Top 8 for ones you can build. Create your library of cards on the Deckbox inventory page and enter your ID when you run the script for the first time. My collection is listed here and in file "card.db" that I've included for testing purposes. Additionally, you can download a "deck.db" file I've uploaded with contains 16 official pre-constructed decks. You're on your own for actually downloading the decks from the sites as it takes long time and fairly temporal in context (current format/sets). Blog post - 02JUL2017 - MtG Deck Hunting. I've included a number of features to make searching the downloaded decks slightly easier and I'll cover these flags towards the end. Each deck will have a corresponding URL that links back to the source of the deck where you can get additional information on the respective site. This is purely meant as a quick way to hone in on potential decks you can build with your current library and is not meant to suggest any particular deck or style. *NOTE: I will not be actively maintaining this script and just created it to suit a specific need of mine, which turned out to be rather fruitless, so you're on your own for fixes and updates. Before getting into it, below is the usage for the script. Running the script for the first time will look similar to the below output (truncated for space). Basically it will iterate over each site and try to download the latest decks from when you last ran the script. For MtG Top 8 and Deckbox you can use the "-u" flag for full update which will cause it to just keep downloading decks from those sites. For MtG Top 8 it's feasible to download all of the decks in a night but for Deckbox, which is primarily creative deck ideas versus actual decks used like on Top 8, you'll be downloading until the end of enternity and most will be garbage. Alternatively, you can use the "-n" flag to not do any updates and just focus on the deck hunting. Alright, so let's say I don't care about sealed draft decks, test decks, or X decks because they are most likely not theorycrafted enough and people were just dealt what they were dealt. You can use the "-f" flag to filter out certain decks. Cool, but what if I want to search for decks where I have most of the cards and only decks between 60-70 cards? You can use the "-c" commonality flag to specify what percentage the deck needs to match and the "-s" flag to specify the low/high numbers for the deck size. Now I can check out the titles, see if anything stands out and hit the respective URL's to read more about the deck. The "-v" verbose flag will give you some additional information about what you're missing, if that's interesting for knowing whether you might have a quick substitute.
