In addition to rarity, you can can also assign cards a "Tag". A Tag has no visual effect for the player, but can be used in events that use the extendWithSearch / shrinkFromSearch attributes.

    "tag": {
      "searchers": [
          "E - Emergency Call",  
          "Reinforcement of the Army"
      ]
    }
