Feature Request: Only Historic Sets for Chaos Formats

[serokellcao]

Some of us are happily playing the actual games on MTGA, some of us are peer-pressured to. Nonetheless, there should be an easy way to play a Historic Chaos Draft.

Implementing this feature should be similar to - [ ] Only modern sets checkbox.

What are the exact rules for Historic Sets? @serokellcao

There could also be a [ ] Only current standard sets checkbox, using this data: https://whatsinstandard.com/api/v6/standard.json

[serokellcao]

From my workaround:

def historic_sets():
  return ["IXN", "RIX", "DOM", "M19", "GRN", "RNA", "WAR",
          "M20", "ELD", "THB", "IKO", "HA1", "HA2" ]

So, thus far, it's Ixalan and later.

NB! There are special MTGA sets "HA1" and "HA2" and likely there will be more. Gladly, mtgjson does a stellar job of tracking MTGA-specific sets.

As a side-note, from the UX perspective, if we're adding so many checkboxes (or a group of radio buttons), then we probably should change it to a dropdown menu titled "Limit chaos pool to:".

@ZeldaZach do MTGJson have a way to know if a set is historic ?
