I caught COVID.

On the 28th of Dec I developed COVID-19 symptoms, but thankfully the symptoms were very mild (thanks vaccine!). During my 2 week quarantine and recovery I got into Yu-Gi-Oh through “Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution”. Finding out where cards were was a huge pain because I have not kept up with the franchise and over 10,000 cards were hidden behind character specific booster packs & challenge duels. Other card finders did not have any visual aid or provide card information so they were useless to me because I had no idea who “Gong Strong” or “Akiza Izinski” etc were. Frustrated, I built my own card finder that utilizes the Yugipedia mediawiki API to grab images and information.

Searching out archetypes like “Vampire”, “Elemental Hero”, “Utopia”, or “Blue-Eyes” and looking at all the cool card art on my phone was also a nice bedridden activity. Hopefully this is useful to someone else out there!
