"""
This script takes in a list of creature cards in a deck list from the Deckstats API, 
    calculates the total power and toughness of each creature, then categorizes that creature depending on this number.

Data structure: dictionary, where the key equals the creature's total power and toughness, 
    and the value is a list of creatures (sorted alphabetically).
