An arkhamdb.com card gathering bot for the r/arkhamhorrorlcg subreddit

This bot listens to all comments on the r/arkhamhorrorlcg subreddit. It has the following features:

To have the bot respond to your comment with cards, include the name of your card between double brackets. For example, including [[ancient evils]] will return Ancient Evils. Some facts about the card search functionality:

• Search is not case sensitive
• Search will return every card that matches a substring:
  • for example, searching [[derringer]] will return both the .41 Derringer and the .18 Derringer
• Searches can optionally include a level in parentheses
  • for example, [[.41 Derringer]] will return both the level 0 and the level 2, but [[.41 derringer (0)]] will only return the level 0 version
• Multiple embeds per post will return multiple comments
  • For example, commenting "you should consider either the [[.41 derringer (2)]] or the [[chicago typewriter]] will return comments with each card embedded

Any comment that includes a link to a valid arkhamdb deck or decklist will receive a reply with a formatted version of that deck's contents. Valid links include decks (for example https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/1514964) and decklists (https://arkhamdb.com/decklist/view/29846/nun-with-a-gun-post-play-1.0).
