Request: Show card flavor text on mouseover & wild decks #13

Currently Hearthstone Deck Tracker shows what the cards do when you hover over them on the left hand side, but the same feature doesn't work for the most likely deck displayed by Advisor.

I believe only standard decks are currently displayed. Metastats is a site that is generally used for the standard format. However, there are some pages that display wild decks. Perhaps it's possible to use import the wild decks from those pages. Alternatively, perhaps it's possible to download them from hsreplays.net. They list wild decks in a seperate wild section, but I don't think they label the archetype. However, for as long as one simply downloads the 5-25 most popular decks of each class, I think it would be fine, even though the "name" of the deck is not displayed at the top.

Hey @Helicobacter1, unfortunately there is no out-of-the-box mouseover support for HDT plugins. I had a look into that very early and decided to skip that for now.

Regarding wild decklist support: Advisor is primarily focused on standard format. But you can also import or create wild decks and tag them with "archetype", then it is used for matching in all formats.

If I find the time, I could implement another importer for wild decks from the current metastats wild snapshot e.g. http://metastats.net/snapshot/wild/ This one seems to be a good source with archetype classification for wild decks also. Then Advisor would have to show only standard decklists for standard format and all decks from the imported decks database (standard and wild) for wild format.

But I'm unsure if Advisor works just as well in wild format like it does in standard format, because we have a much higher variety of decks here and would need a much bigger database of decks respectively.
