Scenario for distinct variant data
| Row 1 | Row 2 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PlaceTag species | Species ID | Use cost | ... | Wildcard | Variant | ... |
| 4 bits? | 12 bits | 10 or 11 bits? | ... | 2 bits (0-3) | 2 bits (0-3) | ... |
| Black/Good | Species ID | Use cost | ... | Variant | ... | |
| 4 bits? | 12 bits | 10 or 11 bits? | ... | 4 bits (0-15) | ... | |
- PlaceTag species cards can be normal, (in-game) variant, wildcard, or (in-game) variant wildcard
- No possibility of black wildcards
- Extra variant colors require use of Blackariants/GoodVariants card type
- Card types have narrow focus, more compact fields, and slightly more room for type-specific fields (e.g., PlaceTag species accessories)
Scenario for common variant data
| Row 1 | Row 2 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PlaceTag species | Species ID | Use cost | ... | Wildcard | Variant | ... |
| 4 bits? | 12 bits | 10 or 11 bits? | ... | 2 bits (0-3) | 4 bits (0-3) | ... |
| Black/Good | Species ID | Use cost | ... | Wildcard | Variant | ... |
| 4 bits? | 12 bits | 10 or 11 bits? | ... | 2 bits (0) | 4 bits (0-15) | ... |
- Possibility of extra variant wildcard colors?
- Possibility of black wildcards?
- Blurred distinction between card types if either card could produce the same item; unnecessary or larger fields
Possibilities
- Image:B. Orchid-Killer Instinct-PV.jpg appears to be a GoodVariants (6, pale green) named (9, B. Orchid) wildcard Moozipan
