Does the bot work for posts/comments from people from other instance ?
I made a comment on a post from here but the bot didn't respond to it. It might be related to comments from other instances not appearing on mtgzone.com (see the post I commented)

Could you update the sidebar with the github link and maybe a quick usage instruction?
Just updated now, great idea

Hmm, let's try something Standard-legal: [[Chrome Cat]]
That seems good! Is the card list limited to things that are tournament-legal? Loopy Lobster was one of the Mystery Booster playtest cards.
It's using the Scryfall API, and this is the query we're making for that card: https://api.scryfall.com/cards/search?q=Loopy+Lobster
I'm not sure why Scryfall can't find it since they serve the page for it.
All of those playtest cards are excluded, it looks like. I think I found the answer here. This URL will find Loopy Lobster:
https://api.scryfall.com/cards/search?include_extras=1&q=Loopy+Lobster
But the include_extras parameter also covers things like tokens and planes which you might reasonably decide you don't want. Maybe have it re-run the search with include_extras if the initial search without it comes back empty? Or maybe not, since that could significantly increase the number of API calls. I don't know.
That's a good idea, I think re-running it would be pretty reasonable to add in soon.
