General

This Python tool is created to parse a list of MTG Cards and retrieve its minimum (cheapest) available price from three Australian TCG stores:

• GUF (https://guf.com.au/)
• MTGMate (https://www.mtgmate.com.au/)
• GoodGames (https://tcg.goodgames.com.au/)

Instructions

Input (inputfile)

An acceptable input is a plain-text file that contains a list of MTG singles in one of the following formats:

• Card Names only

Llanowar Elves
Sol Ring
Mana Crypt
Mana Confluence

• {Quantity}x Card Names

50x Llanowar Elves
20x Sol Ring
20x Mana Crypt
30x Mana Confluence

(Note that the tool only checks for availability for a single card. The quantity is simply disregarded.)
