Display the mana cost exactly as printed #356

Closed gaddlord closed 1 year ago

zorbaelbudha: If you see on the grids the cost of Dauntless Escort is shown as 1WG, but in the card is 1GW, and ALL the cards that have xWG are always shown as xGW on the card. the same is true for the xUG cards, their mana costs on the cards begin with the G instead of the U.

It is because for wizards is a color wheel. So it could be seen as W U B R G W U B R. And they try to associate the symbols for closeness, so instead of useing WG (which has to skip U R B) they go to the path GW. The same is true for RW or GU.

It is not a big deal.

Gad: This seems reasonable but can not be applied as a rule since WotC (for some strange reasons) print one and the same card with different mana cost presentations. See the list below:

The correct solution is to display the mana cost symbols as they are typed in the top right corner. It requires some major internal changes in mana cost parser.

Resolved in version 4.0 since mana is now parsed token by token.
