{"ops":[{"insert":"I'm new to the game, and just discovered the Monty Python and the Holy Grail Secret Lair drops from 2024. Most of the cards are in Archidekt including the African Swallow variant of Birds of Paradise, but I can't find it's companion European Swallow in the database. Am I just missing it somehow?\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"John is mostly correct. \n\nTldr is that we store reversible cards differently than scryfall. And because of this, storing both sides would take a significant refactor on our end. \n\nWe'd like to fix this at some point, but it's not a priority. Until this is fixed, we'll only support the front of reversible cards. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"attributes":{"link":"https://scryfall.com/card/sld/1675/birds-of-paradise-birds-of-paradise?back"},"insert":"African and European Swallow"},{"insert":" were a double-sided card. Maybe a bug in Archidekt that doesn't show the flip side. I would wager it has something to do with the fact that it's the only 2-sided printing of BoP. \n\nEdit: I went and searched the Archidekt Discord for this issues. There was a bug report 6 months ago. If I understand the explanation correctly, Archidelt only sees one side because both sides have the same Scryfall ID. \n"}]}
