Sideboard and max duplicate card rules.

I'm trying to implement deck construction rules.

One rule is that a sideboard must be 0 or 15 cards.

The other is that there can't be more than 5 duplicates of any one
card in both in the sideboard and deck combined.

BTW: These are for the data files I'm doing for doomtrooper. (Yes I
still play it).

The sideboard size limit should be very simple. Obviously, it's a deck
rule, and the scope of the rule is whichever deck you've designated as the
sideboard (e.g. "deck2"). To impose the sideboard rule, you can use the '$'
term, which reports the total number of cards in the scope. So the rule
should look like:
($ = 0) | ($ = 15)

The second rule is a card scoping rule, since it applies to a single card
at a time. However, since it has to span multiple decks, the proper scope
needs to be "span". Since the limit applies to the count of each card, you
can use the '#' special term for card rules to obtain that count.
Therefore, verifying that you don't have more than 5 of a particular card
across all decks would look like:
(# <= 5)

That should cover both the rules. They're easy ones to implement.

Hope this helps,
Rob
