The API exposes a number of fields whose values are drawn from a fixed, closed set. This page lists every enum and what each value means. The set of enums is locked — adding a new value to any of them counts as a non-breaking change; removing or renaming a value is a breaking change and only happens with a `/v2/` version bump. ## Card identity ### `class` A Card's primary type. Determines where it can be played and what rules apply. | Value | Meaning | | --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | `spirit` | A Spirit card.

A `cost` of `["fire", "fire", "omni"]` means two fire spirits and one of any element. `total_cost` is the precomputed sum, included for sort/filter convenience. ## Effects ### `effect_type` Top-level classification of an effect's timing.
