Analyses the Meta for A Game of Thrones: Living Card Game and returns the best sets to buy.

Method

Uses data pulled from the following websites:

Cards & Set Database: https://thronesdb.com/api/

Meta Statistics: http://thestonedrum.com/#/overview

Considerations

Considers agenda cards ~3x more important than a normal card. Considers plot cards ~2x more important than a normal card. Considers popular neutrals and non-loyal cards slightly more important (as they can be used in more decks). Considers older chapter packs worth less (they become obsolete after 4 years).
