Magic: the Gathering pick order

For M:tG players who need a quick primer to draft formats they're new to.

This python application allows M:tG players who are new to a format, need a leg up in drafting, or just need a second opinion on comparing two potential first picks, to get a leg up on the competition. Type in names of cards that you want analyzed, and get the card's ranking returned back, with more preferred picks up top.

Controls
Enter - Input new card (preserves old search results)
Backspace - Undo previous keystroke, or on empty line, clears the line
Ctrl + D - Clear line
Ctrl + C - Exit

Pick Number

There are two types of data provided so far. One scale goes from 0.0 (low) to 5.0 (high), and is an absolute rating of the card. The other scale goes from 1.0 (high) to 15.0 (low) and indicates the average pick the card is taken in. There's currently no obvious distinguishing factor between the two, but the program will always put the preferred picks at the top of the list, to make things easy for you!
