Card IDs

Fireplace uses the original Hearthstone Card IDs to implement cards.

For example, Wisp is CS2_231. To give a Wisp to a player, you would then do:

game.player1.give("CS2_231")

This is a bit impractical. The fireplace.cards.filter function helps us find cards programmatically by name. Note that the names from the enUS locale are used, no other name is currently available in Fireplace.

>>> import fireplace.cards
>>> fireplace.cards.filter(name="Wisp")
['CS2_231']

Note that names are not necessarily unique. In fact, many Choose One druid cards have duplicate names, so do not rely on them to find the card you want. You can add collectible=True to the filter() call to filter on collectible cards only, eliminating most duplicates.

Finding IDs

If you need to figure out which ID a card is, unfortunately, neither Hearthpwn nor the Hearthstone Wiki currently display them. However, the CardDefs.xml file in fireplace/cards/data/CardDefs.xml does. It is human-readable, so it is easy to find cards and match them up to their ID or description.

Buffs, summoned tokens and other "related" cards often have the ID of the main card, with a suffix of some kind. Some examples:

• Cold Blood has the ID CS2_073. The standard buff has the ID CS2_073e. The combo buff has the ID CS2_073e2.
• Poison Cloud has the ID NAX11_02. The Heroic version has the ID NAX11_02H
• Rexxar has the ID HERO_05. The Alleria Windrunner skin has the ID HERO_05a.
• Elite Tauren Chieftain has the ID PRO_001. I Am Murloc has the ID PRO_001a. The summoned Murloc has the ID PRO_001at.

The tests/implemented.py script will also output a list of all card names and their IDs. It's easy to find a card from there.
