Syntax Guide
A variety of parameters can be used to search for combos.
No matter what parameter is used, capitalization will be disregarded,
so a search of
CARD:"BREATH OF" COLORIDENTITY:TEMUR RESULT:INFINITE
is equivalent to
card:"breath of" coloridentity:temur result:infinite
Cards
You can find cards in a combo simply by entering the card names, or parts of the card names, into the search bar. Passing multiple card names will result in combos that have cards that contain those words among the names of the cards in the combo.
You can lookup longer names for cards by using the
card
key with single ('
) or double
("
) quotes. This will find combos that contain cards with
names that include the whole phrase. For instance,
card:dream
, will include combos that contain the card
Sickening Dreams, Dream Stalker, Dreamtail Heron, etc. If
card:"dream stalk"
is used, then only combos that contain
Dream Stalker wil lbe displayed.
To find combos with an exact card name, use
card=
instead.
Use -card
To find combos that do not include a certain
card.
The =
, >
, <
,
>=
, <=
operators can also be used with
numbers to to find combos restricted by the number of cards.
An alias for card
is cards
.
Combos that contain a card with the word kenrith in the name and a card with the word golem in the name
Combos that contain a card with the phrase "breath of" in the name, but do not include any cards with the word brudiclad in the name
Combos that contain card with the exact name "sydri, galvanic genius"

Color Identity
The color identity of a combo determines what colors the combo is
comprised of. The most basic search is in the form,
coloridentity:bug
, which in this example finds all the
combos that can be played within a green, blue, black color identity.
The coloridentity
parameter accepts full color names like
green
or the single character representations of the colors
(w
, u
, b
, r
,
g
). You can use the names for color combinations such as
boros
, izzet
, naya
,
sultai
, etc.
The =
, >
, <
,
>=
, <=
operators can also be used to
find combos with a range of color identities. These operators can be
used with the color values or a number to indicate the number of colors
required for the combo.

key include
