DFC Icon in json data?

[taw]

Vaguely related to https://github.com/mtgjson/mtgjson/issues/227

As only vaguely related issue, DFC icon (day/night, day/eldlazi, whatever-that-is/planeswalker) could also be indicated in json somehow.

711.1a / 711.1b have their official names.

It used to be simply sun/moon, but now it got a bit more complicated.

Right now, you can determine this programmatically (until Wizards prints a new set and ruins it, of course)

If the layout is transform:

• and the card has a planeswalker type on one side:
  • the front is a hero symbol, and the back is a planeswalker symbol
• or if the card has an eldrazi type on one side:
  • the front is an eldritch moon, and the back is an eldrazi symbol
• otherwise the front is a day symbol and the back is a night symbol

Yeah, either that, or just one rule per set, with exception of one EMN werewolf.

@csuhta Sorry for digging up this thread but I just wanted to note that this algorithm won't work as is because of Arlinn Kord.
