Card reference

A card reference contains only the properties needed to identify a card, which allows it to be used as a simple reference. It cannot exist as a resource on its own. A card name and a card number sorting order are required if the card number is missing.

In very rare cases, cards that differ only in artwork have the same card number. A card reference has no way of telling them apart, so it can't always identify exactly one card.

Property	Type	Is required	Description
cardId	string|null	No	See CMS.
cardName	string|null	If cardNumber is null or missing
expansion	Expansion	Yes
cardNumber	string|null	Yes
cardNumberSortingOrder	int32|null	Yes
