About

MTGDPC (mtgdpc) enables users to search the cheapest price for a given card name via Wisdom Guild.
If -s(--save) option is triggered, it scrapes card image contained in the decklist via:

• mtgsdk (official API)
• scryfall.com (if -h(--high, high-res option) is active).

Requirements

• Python 3.6 (or above)

• Beautiful Soup

• lxml

• tqdm

• requests

• mtgsdk

Simply, pip install -r requirements.txt to install above mentioned modules.

How to use

1. Prepare decklist

• .txt file of decklist must fit either Format (A) or (B).
• decklist/ directory contains some sample .txt files.

Format (A) Basic Format

Note that card name must be in English.

<# of cards> <card name>
...

Sideboard
<# of cards> <card name>
...

Also, other format will be automatically converted to this format.

Format (B) M:TG Wiki Style

If you copy and paste from M:TG Wiki, some will look like:

<deck name>[?]
土地 (#)
<# of cards>	<card name [JPN]/[EN]>
クリーチャー (#)
<# of cards>	<card name [JPN]/[EN]>
呪文 (#)
<# of cards>	<card name [JPN]/[EN]>
サイドボード (#)
<# of cards>	<card name [JPN]/[EN]>

In this case, mtgdpc will automatically convert it and replace it with Basic Format.

2. Execute mtgdpc.py with argument of prepared .txt file

$ python mtgdpc.py <.txt file>
------------------------------ MAIN DECK ------------------------------

<price> x <# of cards> = <price of card(s)> <Card Name(JPN)/(EN)>
...

main ) price: < (A) total price of main deck >

------------------------------ SIDEBOARD ------------------------------

<price> x <# of cards> = <price of card(s)> <Card Name(JPN)/(EN)>
...

side ) price: < (B) total price of sideboard >

total price (main + side): (A) + (B)
