I've a couple questions.

I notice that many of the effect_list fields are empty. Is this a bug, WIP or something I'm missing?

It might be interesting to consider with a more structured format. For example instead of "Battlecry: Deal 1 damage to a random enemy." it becomes something like:

{
    "type": "battlecry",
    "action": {
        "type": "damage",
        "target": {
            "class": "enemy",
            "selection": "random"
        },
        value: 1
    }
}

Doing this manually would be a lot of work. It could be semi-automated then manually corrected for the weird cards. I'm willing to help.

Having a data-structure like this would make simulations easier - the only current example I can think of is the Yogg-Saron Simulator which only applies spells and stores spells as javascript.

I originally wanted every card to have an effect_list array but after the first expansion I didn't want to put in the work. Mostly because I think that the way I did for the cards from the classic set is not very good. Your idea seems to be much better. Maybe I will add something like this in a future release.
