dailyscry's Issues

Split DAILY_SCRY_IGNORED_ORACLE_IDS up

There should be two variables now:

1. DAILY_SCRY_BANNED_ORACLE_IDS those won't be shown at all
2. DAILY_SCRY_DISCOURAGED_ORACLE_IDS If we hit one of those cards we only continue in 10% of cases

This let's users define hard nopes, and soft nopes (like basic lands)

Add non-random card selection

It would be nice to specify the cards by other means.

This could mean using their muliverse_id or scryfall_id or (more for the cli tool than the posting part) search for a card…

Handle too long card texts for mastodon

Card texts over 500 characters are a problem for mastodon (or at least botsin.space). We should handle that accordingly. Check the hashtags and how much space they take up…

rotate some card artwork

some card's like split-card and battles should be rotated to be easier to view.

Add set name to output

It was expressed that people would like the set name to be included with the text output

Prevent basic lands

Basic lands are kinda boring, so we probably want to remove them from the random rotation…

Handle `flavor_name`

If the card has a flavor name it should be used in addition to the actual name.

Examples:

https://scryfall.com/card/sld/147/malik-grim-manipulator
https://scryfall.com/card/iko/373/void-beckoner

Adhere to content_warning flag

Some cards have a content_warning flag and they should not be displayed. Maybe it would be okay to add a flag in dailyscry that allows them anyway, but the default should be no content_warning cards…

Prevent using card images in other languages

We should always use images in english if at all possible. So we should check if we can use another printing, if possible or if not find a different card.
