Search by converted mana cost
- cards with converted mana cost 3 - cmc=3
- cards with converted mana cost 3 or more - cmc>=3
- cards with converted mana cost less than 2 - cmc<2
Search by mana cost
For sake of this search every mana symbol is treated as non-comparable, so "{u}" is neither greater or less than "{u/b}" etc. There's a lot of flexibility, so "{up}", "{u/p}", "{P/U}" etc. all work for Phyrexian blue mana. Curly braces are only needed for non-standard mana types.
- cards with mana cost {0} - mana=0
- cards with no mana cost - mana={}
- cards with some mana cost - mana!={}
- cards with mana cost {4} or less - mana<=4
- cards with mana cost {3}{u}{u} - mana=3uu
- cards with mana cost {3}{u}{u} - mana={3}{u}{u}
- cards with mana cost including {b/g} hybrid mana - mana>={b/g}
- cards with mana cost different from {2}{g}{r} (or no mana cost) - mana!=2gr
This search supports variable symbols: "m", "n", and "o" each represent a single mana of any color but must each differ from the others; "h" represents a single hybrid mana.
- cards with mana cost of exactly 1 colored mana, of any color - mana=m
- cards that cost at least two mana of any one color - mana>mm
- cards that cost at exactly one mana each of any two colors - mana={m}{n}
- cards that cost exactly two mana each of two colors and three of a third - mana={m}{m}{n}{n}{n}{o}{o}
- cards that cost two white mana, two of any one other color, and three of a third color - mana={w}{w}{n}{n}{n}{o}{o}
- cards that cost exactly two hybrid mana - mana=hh
- cards with at least one hybrid mana in their mana cost - mana>h
Search by power, toughness, and loyalty
- creature cards with power 4 - pow=4
- creature cards with toughness 5 or more - tou>=5
- creature cards with power greater than toughness - pow>tou
- creature cards with toughness equal to converted mana cost - tou=cmc
- planeswalker cards with starting loyalty 3 - loyalty=3
- creature cards with power equal 1+* - pow=1+*
- creature cards with toughness equal 7-* - tou=7-*
- creature cards with power equal *, 1+*, or 2+* - pow>=*
Boolean expressions
Search by rarity
Search engine recognizes 6 rarities - basic, common, uncommon, rare, mythic, and special.

Search by card frame features
For each of these you can use not: as opposite of is:. Data might occasionally be inaccurate for some promo printings.
- split cards - is:split
- double-faced cards - is:dfc
- multi-part cards (split, flip, or dfc) - is:multipart
- regular cards and directly playable parts of double-faced/meld/flip/aftermath cards - is:primary
- parts of double-faced/meld/flip/aftermath card that's not directly playable - is:secondary
- cards on front face - is:front
- cards on face face of double-faced/meld cards - is:back
- first printings of cards - not:reprint
- reprints of cards - is:reprint
- cards which were never reprinted - is:unique
- cards with collector number 117 (old cards, promos etc. have arbitrarily assiged unique numbers) - number:117
Search by card nickname
A few common nicknames are supported as queries.
Search by card layout
Selecting non-standard layout expands search to special cards as well
Search by other part
Every card part (of split, flip, or double-faced card) is treated as separate object, so search like cmc=2 cmc=3 won't return anything, as no part has cmc of 2 and 3 simultaneously. There's special syntax for that.
- cards with converted mana cost 2 or one side and converted mana cost 3 on another (split spells) - cmc=2 // cmc=3
- cards where one side is a creature and the other side is a planeswalker (Spark of Revolution Planeswalkers) - t:creature // t:planeswalker
- cards where one side is a creature, and there's another side - t:creature //
- card named Rock on one side and Roll on another side - rock // roll
There's also lower level syntax if you prefer that. Unlike // it will return only specifically requested side, not both.
Search by related card
If a card is related to another card (e.g. the card names the other card, or vice versa), you can use that in your search.
Search by alternative printing
Every card printing is treated as separate object, so you can't search for cards which were printing in both Magic 2010 and Magic 2011 with e:m10 e:m11. There's special syntax for that.
Search by regular expression
Reglar expressions follow ruby syntax and are case insensitive by default.
- cards with three digit numbers in Oracle text - o:/\d{3,}/
- cards with three digit numbers in flavor text - ft:/\d{3,}/
- cards with word "ice" in flavor text - ft:/\bice\b/
- cards with artist credit of 40 or more characters - a:/.{40}/
- cards with names of 30 or more characters - n:/.{30}/
Sort results
Use sort: operator to order results in a different way. By default alphabetical sorting is used.
Results with equal sort key are then sorted by name.
Missing values (like cards with no cmc when sorting by cmc) go last.
You can use minus to reverse search order, or comma to specify multiple search keys.
- sort by name alphabetically (default) - sort:name
- sort results by most recent first, counting only regular sets for sake of order (other printings will go at end of results) - sort:new
- sort results by most recent first, counting all printings - sort:newall
- sort results by oldest first, counting only regular sets for sake of order - sort:old
- sort results by oldest first, counting all printings - sort:oldall
- sort results by converted mana cost (highest first) - sort:cmc
- sort results by power (highest first) - sort:pow
- sort results by toughness (highest first) - sort:tou
- sort results by set name and collector number - sort:number
- sort results by color - sort:color
- sort results by color identity - sort:ci
- sort results by rarity (rarest first) - sort:rarity
- shuffle results - sort:rand
- sort results by set name and collector number, backwards - sort:-number
- sort results by power (highest first), then toughness (lowest first), then color - sort:pow,-tou,color
Display results
By default results are displayed in detailed format when only one card matches, or in more concise format otherwise. You can select another format.
