From one of their examples:
[
{
"id": "202424",
"name": "Tundra",
...
}
]
id# is in the 200000s ? Are these allocated sequentially and contiguously ? If so, M:tG _really_ got away from me since I stopped paying attention to it.
- ubernostrum 13y agoI don't think they are allocated sequentially (and there aren't that many unique cards/versions). But IIRC Gatherer's using the IDs from the internal "Multiverse" DB, which also includes all the brainstormed card ideas that never made it into an actually-released set, which would tend to inflate the numbers. Edit: and they are not allocated sequentially. These two cards have only ever appeared in the 2014 core set, and have sequential collector numbers in the set but not sequential IDs: http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=370750 http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiver... http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=370612 http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiver...
- GrantS 13y agoLooks like there are about 13,000 distinct cards at this point. The following stats are about one year out of date: http://wiki.mtgsalvation.com/article/Magic:_The_Gathering_statistics_and_trivia http://wiki.mtgsalvation.com/article/Magic:_The_Gathering_st...
