Syntax Guide

Type card names or parts of card names directly into the search bar to find combos that use those cards. Writing a word in this way is equivalent to writing card:word.

Put the card name inside double quotes (") to restrict the search to card names that include the entire phrase, including special characters and spaces. For example, "Goblin King" will only find combos that contain the card Goblin King, while the search Goblin King without quotes will also find combos with both Goblin Bombardment and Darien, King of Kjeldor. Writing "words with spaces" in this way is equivalent to writing card:"words with spaces".

By default, the color identity search finds all combos that a deck of that color identity could include. For example, coloridentity:bg finds two-color black-green combos, but also monocolor black, monocolor green, and colorless combos.

The coloridentity parameter accepts full color names (such as green), single character abbreviations (w, u, b, r, g, and c for colorless), and many color combination nicknames (boros, sultai, fivecolor, penta, etc.).

Combos are tagged based on certain features. You can search these using is:tag, which is the only alias and operator supported.

Supported tags

Some tags are manually added to variants, meaning their support is always a work in progress. Other tags are applied automatically, so their support is complete and always up-to-date.

Automatic tags

• preview/previewed/spoiler/spoiled: the combo contains an unreleased card
• commander: the combo requires you to have a commander, so it will not work in most non-Commander formats

• reserved: the combo contains at least one card from the Reserved List

Manual tags

The support for manual tags will be added in the future.
