Card (Atomic)

The Card (Atomic) Data Model describes the properties of a single atomic card, an oracle-like entity of a Magic: The Gathering card that only stores evergreen data that would never change from printing to printing.

Note

The Card (Atomic) Data Model is accessed through a single index array where its parent property is the name of the card. Here is an example of the model:

json
"data": {
  "Oblivion Ring": CardAtomic[],
  ... // More card names
}

and accessing the data would look like this:


js
data["Oblivion Ring"][0];
