Enjoy your stay. Hey, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of the Command Zone podcast. I'm your host, Rachel Weeks. And today we have special guest Jordan Pridgen. Hi there, everybody.

I'm Jordan Pridgen. Have you ever been sitting across from somebody in a game of commander and they play a card that is so perfect for their deck that you have never seen in your entire life? Oh, absolutely. It happens all the time. How do I find those cards for my decks?

Yeah. And for the longest time it's like, wow, there's like 1000 million cards in magic. How do you just know all these things? The Internet is the answer. Specifically a little website called Skryfall.

Rachel Weeks
Today we are going to cover the ins and outs of Magic's most powerful card search database. Yeah. Jordan and I are frequent users of Scryfall. We're very good at using syntax and all the search functions and we're going to try and get you up to snuff on the basics and then teach you some of the cool, like more basic syntax. But before we get into that, we're going to be looking at a lot of cards today.

Digital cards, of course. If you want to pick up real cards, paper cards, go to cardkingdom.com. command Card Kingdom has a huge selection of magic cards, singles and sealed product, whatever you're looking for. If you're learning to use Scryfall from this very episode and you find cards that you're like, ah, I need this right away for this deck. You can get a lot of those cards all in one place on Card Kingdom.

And that's why I really like shopping there is because I know that when I'm buying a huge amount of cards, I can get a giant chunk of them all in one place and I'm not paying shipping over and over and over again. Plus, I know that they're going to be shipped with care and they're going to arrive on my doorstep in the condition that I paid for, which is a big pet peeve of mine. When I pay for something and it gets shoved in my mailbox and you're like, it's bent or something and you're. Not gonna be chasing down envelopes for like a month. I swear I ordered this.

Jordan Pridgen
Did I get that one? Cardkingdom.com command. You can also support the show by using our other affiliate link. Over@ultrapro.com command. Ultrapro has a huge selection of magic accessories.

Rachel Weeks
They've got dice and play mats, deck boxes, binders, card sorters. There's tons of accessories that it takes to be a Magic player these days. You gotta have like, keep your cards safe in a box, safe in the deck, safe on the table. Yeah. A shoebox and a rubber band ain't gonna cut it anymore.

That's not it. That's not it. Magic cards are expensive, so you wanna make sure that you are storing them well. You're putting them in sleeves. That's gonna keep them safe when you're shuffling them up.

Plus you can make them look super cool because Ultra Pro has the officially licensed magic art. So all of the stuff that you know and love from Magic cards could be available on Ultra Pro. Keep an eye on their website. Sometimes old designs go on sale or a new set drops. If you're excited about something, keep an eye out because they're gonna have a ton of the products and the cool ones do tend to sell out fast.

If you want to stay on the up and up, join their newsletter. They'll let you know about any flash sales that are happening, sometimes up to 40% off. If you're a big brewer and you've got a bunch of decks on your table that you want to put into deck boxes, buying them all in one place when they're on sale is a great way to do it. Again. Ultrapro.com command finally, you can support us directly over@patreon.com commandzone all of our patrons get access to extra turns and game nights a day early without ads.

That's pretty sweet. Some of them get access to exclusive content like Turn Talk. That's just a discussion we have after a game of extra turns about what would have happened if we draw on one more card. If you hadn't won on my turn, I was gonna win on my. Here's what I had in my hand.

It's just a fun conversation about people that just got off of an exciting. Game, you get to look into people's minds a little bit, you know? Yeah, I really like turn talk. I like doing them. And it's cool to get feedback, to react to how a game went and have other people understand the context of why you made a play that you.

Jordan Pridgen
Did, because it's also in any commander game, sitting with it afterwards would be like, oh, what about that game? Oh, I was gonna do this. That's such a big part of it. That kinda has to get cut out of some gameplay versions. Become a patron and you get a peek behind the curtain.

Rachel Weeks
Plus, we shout out one lucky patron every single podcast episode. And this one is dedicated to steph Vandepol. Steph, you rock. You rock. All right, let's get into it.

We are talking about how to use Scryfall today. I am obsessed with Scryfall. Oh. So if I boot up my computer and open chrome, I open my email, my notes document, and a Scryfold tab. Just always just, I'm gonna need scryfall.

I swear, at any given time. I have like five or six tabs of scryfall open at any given time. And if you're familiar with Skryfall, you're probably familiar with its big purple homepage that says Scryfall is a powerful magic of the gathering card search. And powerful. It is no good.

I know when you look at this page, you're like, oh, there's gotta be some secrets to this. Cause it looks so intimidating. It's the google of magic cards. Yes. But next to online deck builders like architect, Skryful is the most important online deck building tool.

Jordan Pridgen
Yeah, I mean, I think when I go to build a deck, Skyfall is literally the first thing I go to. I can't imagine going anywhere else to get started on a deck. It's exactly what I do when I see a commander where I'm like, ooh, what goes in that deck? You go in and you automatically put in a scryfall search. So today we're gonna go through the basics and try and get you started on your Skryfall journey.

Rachel Weeks
If it's intimidating and a lot of stuff that we're going to cover today, I'm hoping it's not super overwhelming, but I want to say upfront that this is a process. Learning how to use scryfall is literally starting with a couple of keywords or starting with no keywords and starting with the advanced search and then learning the site as you go. What we're hoping to do today is just lower the barrier to entry. So you feel confident using the site? Yeah, I mean, I know when I first started using Scryfall, it was mostly just like basically as a way to check the Oracle text on cards.

Jordan Pridgen
I would just type in the name of a card and get whatever the text was on the thing. But even just learning a couple of the little tips and tricks and ways to look in different things and being a little more familiar with that will just open up the entire world of magic cards. So this search engine defaults to searching by card name. You can use keywords and you can use expressions, which we're going to get into later, but it defaults to just searching for a card like Mazaveth, and it'll give you a card page that has a lot of different information on it. Like Jordan said, it has the Oracle text on it, which if you're looking at an older version of Mesovieth.

Yeah. If you go down to this first. One, you'll see that it doesn't match what's on the actual card and what's the card text here. So that'll give you the exact updated rules text of any given card. On the side it has a list of all of the different printings of Maisevit.

Rachel Weeks
There's a ton of great reprints, there's a ton of different arts. It even has the digital versions of it. You can see all of the prints in one place by clicking view all prints. It also has the legality, all of the formats that you can play it in. The big one, of course, that you're going to care about is commander, where it's legal.

It'll tell you the artist, it'll tell you all of the different languages it's available in. There's a lot of information just on the top. We also want to draw a little bit of attention to the toolbox down here, which has a couple of different links. Yeah. And I kind of ignored these for a long time, but there's some useful stuff down here.

I agree. I sort of skipped over this button. They glazed over. But if there's a card that you're particularly interested in or you want to know what kind of cards it's good with, this is actually a really good resource. You can look at articles that feature this card.

You can look at decks that feature this card. You can look at, you know, Moxfield decks or MTG top eight decks, and it'll tell you all of like a huge history of where you can find Maz a Vith, my favorite one in this is the Cardinalsis on EDH rec is also a really good one. It takes you right to the Mesovith EDH rec page. Well, because, you know, we're usually looking for it for commander. Yeah, there's a lot of info that you can get to right there, or.

You open it on the skryfall tagger. We're gonna get into that a little bit later in the episode. It is a really powerful tool. Yeah, the skryfall tagger is like a hack. We'll tell you about it later.

Jordan Pridgen
Like it will unlock so much about cards. Finally, stay tuned. This has the notes and rules information for whatever card, and it has a lot of the similar text. I'm pretty sure it's the same as gatherer. I think it might be pulled from gatherer, I'm not 100% sure, but usually.

Rachel Weeks
The same stuff where it exactly sources from. But it'll give you a date of the ruling and it'll give you the text of the ruling. So if there's something confusing about a card, you can go check it out on scryfall and learn all about it. So there's a lot of information on an individual card page. But I think you and I would both agree that the most powerful thing about Skyfall is its search functionality.

Jordan Pridgen
Yeah. You want to be able to find a series of cards that fit in some particular category, and it's got a very simple way to do that, even if you don't know any of the tricks. Which is the advanced search. Yeah. So you can get to this page by the top right hand corner or on the purple page it says advanced search as well.

Rachel Weeks
And this just gives you a bunch of different ways that you can search for cards. This isn't all of them. This isn't an exhaustive list of the different ways that you can search, but it is the most popular and the most useful ones, I think, for new scryfall users. Well, and it's worth pointing out, and we'll go into some of the specifics later, is a lot of the things that are covered on this, you can just sort of type into the bar and make it work. But the advanced search does a lot of that work for you and makes it very clear.

Jordan Pridgen
So if you are at all uncomfortable with using any of the other stuff, advanced search will get you 90% of the way almost all the time. And I don't even use all of the search functions on the advanced search page, so we're just going to go through the ones that Jordan and I think are the most important or the ones that we use the most. So we're going to use an example of, let's just say we're building a Felix five boots deck. Yup. It's going to give you a lot of the information that we're going with today.

Rachel Weeks
We're going to start with this text box. So this is oracle text. This is the rules text on any given card. It's also a pretty tricky box to use, like in a Felix five boots deck. You're searching for combat damage.

Jordan Pridgen
Yeah, and I'd say this is the box I use the most. But the trick and the thing that makes this kind of hard is that it can be very specific about the way things are worded and stuff. You need to kind of know the syntax that they use on cards to. Make this really work and they explain it below it says enter text that should appear in the rules box. You can use the tilde as a placeholder for the card name and word order.

Rachel Weeks
Doesn't matter. So if you go in here and user just search for deals combat damage, that's gonna search for all cards that have the word deals, combat and damage on them anywhere in any order. Yep. If you want to search for cards that specifically say deals combat damage, you can put it in quotes and this will search for cards that have exactly the text deals combat damage, which is. Probably what you're looking for if you're doing this Felix five boot search.

Yeah. So if you put quotes around any text that you want in that exact order to appear in the rules text that allows you to search for phrases. So you can search for individual words like combat damage, or you can search for phrases like deals combat damage and like it mentions. You can use this little squiggly line to search for cards that reference their names. So you could search whenever this card deals combat damage.

So this will search for cards that specifically trigger when they deal combat damage. That just refers to the card name. It can be replaced by whatever. Yeah. All right.

So that's gonna get you a huge amount of the way, but it's also gonna give you a lot of extraneous cards, cards in colors that you don't care about, cards in types that you don't care about. And luckily scryful helps us get a lot more specific. Yeah, because I mean, that's gonna find every white card that deals combat damage, and that's not gonna be useful for your Felix five bootstrap. So the next thing we're gonna talk about is type line. This can be supertype, it can be card type.

It can be subtypes. Literally anything that shows up on the type line in the middle of the card can be searched for here. Yeah, and it gives you a huge dropdown that gives you all of the options so you don't even have to know them off the top of your head. But let's say you're looking for a legendary creature. You can add a little dropdown that says legendary.

You could. Let's say you're building a Felix five boots ooze deck and you want oozes that are legendary. Yeah, you want the flavor to be in there. You want to have five ooze friends. Five ooze friends.

But okay, let's say you're doing a clone version of Felix five boots and you don't want them to be legendary. Sure, you can click on the is and it'll automatically switch it to not. So now you can search for oozes that aren't legendary. Pretty sweet. Just regular run of the mill oozes.

I have a friend that has an equipment based Felix five boots deck, so you can even search by equipment or buy not equipment. Basically, this can be any combination of types that you do or do not want. The next section is colors. This is where things get a little bit hairy. And this is an important one to understand.

Jordan Pridgen
This definitely confused me at first when I started using it for commander stuff. So there's two sections here that have the colors listed. There's colors and there's commander. The colors section refers to specifically the card color. So when you check any of these boxes, let's say we check blue, black, green, it's going to search for cards that are blue and black and green.

Rachel Weeks
You can change that by changing this dropdown to including these colors or at most these colors. And that'll sort of vary how it searches, but it's referring to the actual card color, and most of the time it'll allow you to go higher than that. So if you search for like color blue and black, it's going to get cards that are blue and black, but could include green or red. And for commander players, it's worth noting that, for instance, if you do just green cards, you will find noble hierarchy, for instance, even though it makes mana of other colors. This color thing doesn't care about the commander rules of it can't have the symbols doing stuff on it.

Right? For that reason, I think we use the commander section a lot more. This will search by color identity rather than color itself. And it automatically searches for anything less than those colors. Yeah, that falls within that.

Jordan Pridgen
So if you did five colors, it's gonna find pretty much every card. Yeah, I mean, if you click Felix five boots, we have a solti commander. So we click blue, black, and green, it's gonna search for all cards that fit into the Soltai color identity. So anything blue or black or blue, black or black, green or colorless blue. That produces red or something like.

I mean, not red. Blue that produces black. Yeah, I'm saying one of the one colors this isn't in there. Great. So this is the one that you're gonna use most of the time, unless you're looking for cards that are of a specific color.

Rachel Weeks
Maybe you have a commander that only cares about green spells. I can't think of one off the top of my head, but they exist. Maybe almost for sure. We're gonna skip over mana cost, but the next one that I like to talk about is the stats section. This can do a lot of work.

It defaults to mana value equal to. And that's great for whenever you're searching for a card that you care about its mana value. So if you're looking for four drops, you can search for mana value equal to four. You can also search for mana value less than or equal to four. Yeah, I know.

Jordan Pridgen
Like, when I was making my Yoshimura roguerack deck, I wanted it to be really low to the ground, so the first thing I did was anything less than three to put into it. Yeah, it's a great way to start. If you're building a Felix five boots deck, you really want a creature that comes down before Felix does. So you can search for creatures that are less than or equal to probably four, honestly. Then you can play them before your commander comes down and get some value.

Rachel Weeks
The very turn that you cast him. This section also includes power, toughness, and loyalty. So you can search for cards with power equal to equal to two or equal to one. Like if you're doing the ninja lady. Yeah, yeah.

Jordan Pridgen
Yuriko. Right. No, whatever. That's the one. I mean, that lets things be unblockable if they.

Unblockable if they only have one. See, this is why I need Skryfall, because I don't necessarily remember the name, but I do remember some of that oracle text. I could tell you exactly how to search for it, but I could not tell you the name off the top of my head. Another good commander that you played on game nights would be a great example here is, like Pride of Hulklade. So you could, like, look for something with toughness greater than toughness greater than five.

Yeah. And then mana value less than three, you know, bam. I mean, all of those are really helpful when you're looking for specific cards to fill a hole in your curve, which is how I use scryfol a lot of the time. Yeah. So stats is really flexible.

Rachel Weeks
This is basically just searches any of the numbers, numbers on your card, any of the traditional numbers. Anyway, before we go too far, I do want to mention this formats section. If you want to make sure that you're filtering out anything that you couldn't play legally in your deck, you can throw in legal commander most of the time. It's not, doesn't make a huge difference, but sometimes it'll really limit the things that it spits out. There are some stuff that will show up that will just kind of muddy your search if you don't hit legal commander sometime if you're looking for it.

Jordan Pridgen
So it just makes it a little cleaner. The sets section does exactly what you think it is. It helps you search for set or block. So if you're looking for new cards for your Felix five boots deck, you start in outlaws of Thunder Junction. Or you could enter a block name.

Rachel Weeks
Maybe you're doing a Lorwyn themed deck. You can search in the Lorwyn block and that'll give you everything from Lorwyn, Shadowmoor or the other one eventide. I think that's right. If I'm wrong, edit it out.

So I don't use the block function as much because they haven't been relevant lately. But it is worth noting that you can search the outlaws of Thunder Junction block, and this includes the big score and the breaking news cards, which is pretty sweet. Now, what it doesn't feature, and this is a good little caveat to think about, especially with recent sets, is it doesn't feature stuff from the commander product. Yes, that is a separate, that is not within the block as an example. Of a card, it wouldn't find Felix Feige boots himself.

Jordan Pridgen
So just keep that in mind because they all come out at the same time. And now that commander decks are so tied in with the theme of the actual sets they come out in, that could be kind of confusing. I really like this function for searching for sets that you just didn't pay that much attention to. So if you're like, all right, I didn't really look at fallout, but I want to see if there's any cool cards from fallout that fit my deck. You can search just in the fallout set and make sure you didn't miss anything.

Rachel Weeks
Important. Okay. The next one is probably my favorite section. Yeah. Cause this does so much.

So this is criteria, and it's gonna give you a huge dropdown of all of the things that it searches for. Automatically. You can see that. You can search for cards that are bears so they have base power and toughness. You can search for color shifted cards or commanders.

You can search for cards with etbs. Or etched cards, creature lands, companions. I mean, like first printing, there's a huge amount of criteria that you can use if you're searching for a specific kind of card or if you have a themed card. Hybrid mana is a cool one. I used the hybrid mana search when I was building my mono black green black deck.

See if I could catch anything a little bit sneaky. One we mentioned in here that I like to use all the time that's really useful is first print or not reprint. You can also set it to. They're basically the same thing. Yeah, I use this all the time.

Especially if you're doing the thing that we mentioned before. If you're looking at all the cards from fallout, for example, and you're just like, don't show me any other reprint. No, I want these new cards that are part of it. Or I want cards that were printed in Thunder Junction that I've never seen before to see if they're going to be a good fit, especially if you're. Looking at Commander product, I found this is really useful.

So you can go to like murders at Karloff Manor, get rid of all of the reprints and that'll show you just the cards that were printed specifically for MKM commander decks. Yeah, and not reprint. And is first print will generally give you the same sort of thing in that. But if you also are searching for a wider thing, like you're looking at some old cards, if you do the is first print thing, it'll also just show you the art and the version of the card that came out first, which I like a lot. Me too.

Jordan Pridgen
Because I'm like, oh yeah, that's the original hypnotic spectre. Not a crazy reprint that they did later. They've also been using this to sort of help you find new keyworded stuff. You can search for is Outlaw. You can search in this criteria for cards that meet the qualification of Outlaw.

Oh yeah. All the batching stuff they've been doing, like Outlaw really party. You can search for cards that have adventures on them. There's other ways to do this, but the fact that it's all in here and keyworded makes it so easy to be like, I'm looking for all of the stuff that has a borderless version of it. The amount of work that has clearly gone into cataloging all this stuff in Skryfall is insane.

It really has everything you need when you're looking for specifics and cards. Let's do a quick example before we move on here because we've only shown you ways to to use one of all these boxes at a time, but really what you're going to be doing is combining a bunch of different terms into one. Yep. So let's say we're looking for one mana instance or sorceries that draw cards for like a Nivmisid deck. Yeah, we're trying to find all the cantrips that we need.

Rachel Weeks
Okay, so you're searching for stuff that says draw in the text box. Yep. It wants to be on the card somewhere. You're looking for instants. You're also looking for sorceries.

I'm going to click this box that says allow partial type matches. That means it's going to search for instants or sorceries. Instead of being like, we're looking for an instant sorcery. It's saying nothing, you get nothing. Good day, sir.

I'm going to click this box that says commander. So your commander is blue and red. So it's only going to give us stuff that can fit in an if Mizzit deck. And we're going to say mana value equal to one. So that's going to give us all of the cheapest things we can even change.

Where's my legality here? Down there. Legal commander. That's it. We're going to limit anything that doesn't need to be in this.

Jordan Pridgen
Yeah. So we won't get a sencestral recall or. Yeah. Which would probably be right at the top of the screen. It'd be probably pretty good.

Rachel Weeks
All right, so this gives us a search of 68 cards that all meet our qualifications. And some of these are going to be on the EDH trek page for Niv, but some of them aren't going to be like, maybe burning inquiry doesn't quite make the list every time, even though it's really good. Well, and I think one thing that's easy to sort of forget is that EDH rec, like, if you were looking at that to find the stuff, a lot of times people went to EDH rec and built their decks off of that. So it can sort of be a feedback loop of the cartoon prophecy. Yeah.

Jordan Pridgen
You'd be shocked at how often by doing a search on scryfall, you find stuff that are great fits that just didn't quite make that top synergy list. Absolutely. And when you're building with a more specific theme or you're building with a more specific idea, sometimes EDA track doesn't give you what you're looking for. So being able to do this search on your own and give you all of the options without being totally overwhelming numbers like 68 is a perfectly reasonable number of cards to look at. Yeah, well, it's also great, too.

Spoiler season comes around and they drop the newest cool legend, and you want to immediately start brewing on that, and it's not going to be up on EDH rec yet or something like that. So knowing how to do this stuff can get you ahead of the curve. You can be the one who's determining what shows up on the high synergy cards. You are going to be on the cutting edge of. Imagine that power.

Rachel Weeks
Let's do another example before we move on. Let's say we're looking for creatures with attack triggers that have power less than or equal to two for a red, green and white siddhar Kondo of Jamura deck. So let's you want creatures that have attack triggers. So if you do, whenever this card attacks, we want creatures. Our commander has a red partner is filling in that red pip here.

Jordan Pridgen
And remember again that the whenever this card attack should be in princess. Because otherwise it's just gonna look for cards that say whenever, mention their own name and attacks at some point, which might get you what you want. But it's gonna be a little. It's gonna give you more answers than you really want. You'll be surprised how often you'll be like, that's kind of what I want.

And then you'll see a card where it says, like, whenever this happens to a thing, this card can't be blocked by blah, blah. And then, you know, whenever an opponent attacks, blah. And you'll be like, ah, I did all the things, but not in the order I wanted them to be. Okay, I think we have this search, right? We've got, whenever it attacks, we're searching for red, green, white with power less than or equal to two.

Rachel Weeks
And it's legal in commander search for those. Here we go. We've got 230 cards here. That's kind of a lot to go through, but, you know, it narrows it down from the thousands that could possibly be in the deck. Yeah.

So I want to show you some ways to narrow this down further, starting because there are some good tools right here on the results page. Yeah. And you can sometimes immediately look and be like, oh, ace. Maybe ace is good, but why is Ace the top one that showed up there? It's because or starts with a.

Jordan Pridgen
Yes. There's a lot of tools on the results page. I want to draw your attention to this. First, when you use the advanced search function, it gives you all of the syntax in the syntax bar. So I think it's great when you do a search to look at this and just see what the site printed out for you, and then you can change things to be like, okay, maybe I don't want attack triggers.

Rachel Weeks
Maybe I want deals combat damage. And you can change it right here in the search bar without reentering all of this stuff into the advanced search. It also helps you learn syntax as you go. Yeah, it's also just like, way more convenient than having to go back to the advanced search page. Click on red and green and white.

Jordan Pridgen
When it's 90% there and you realized you're like, you know what? I actually don't want any more white cards in this deck. I am not running enough white to justify it or something. Maybe I'm changing the partner. Maybe I'm changing it to a blue partner.

Yeah, exactly. It's so much easier to just be like, delete, delete. Add in a new thing and it can kind of just immediately get the new search for you. The sorted by tool is what we were alluding to before. Skryfold defaults to sorting things alphabetically, which is great if you want to go through every single one of those cards.

Rachel Weeks
But if you only want to see the most played ones, you can sort these by Edhrec rank, and it will give you the most common ones right away. So we look at this and we're like, wow, Krenko does seem pretty good. He gets kind of bigger. So he gets out of the scale of our commander, but it gives you a lot more tools like goblin, rabble master, or kari. Zev gives you two options.

Jordan Pridgen
Yeah. Like, oh, this just shows you, like, what people are playing in commander, and which is likely to already be what you're looking for. I will say sometimes when I have a really specific thing that I'm looking for and I do the sort by EDH rec rank, I'll change the direction, and I want to see the lowest on EDH rec rank, I want to. See the ones that nobody uses. Exactly.

Rachel Weeks
You can change it to descending and it'll give you nobody's playing skyline scout. But every now and then you'll look at that one that's at the very bottom. And you go, well, in my deck, this is gonna be gangbusters. You can also sort by a lot of things. You can sort by price, by us dollar.

If you're in the US, this will give you the most expensive ones first. Let's look at the cheapest ones. There we go. So these are, if you're building a budget deck, it'll give you some cheaper options that may be perfect without spending any extra money. I also like to sort by.

Release date is a big one that I use and this one will give you all of the recent cards. This is great for what you were saying where you're like, you're updating a deck and you want to see stuff that was from the last couple sets that could add a fresh take to it that you haven't looked at before. Exactly. You already have this deck. You're trying to add everything from Thunder Junction and murder Zirka love manor.

I also like to get rid of all of the reprints because it will give you the reprints that are printed at that time. And this will just give you all of the new cards. So Kate caged brawler isn't necessarily one we'd think of, but here she is on this search. Okay, so that's the basics of using the advanced search and what you can do just by like the first time you log into Skyfall. Yeah.

Jordan Pridgen
And that'll get you really far. That can do a lot of stuff to help you just find new things for your deck that aren't just based off what other people are building, they're based off the ideas that you have, which can be really cool. Yeah, I use this tool for a really long time and it just helps you get your bearings on the site and start to learn what you can search for and what you start to look for. And honestly, when you put in searches like this, sometimes you find cards that you didn't expect to see, that you're like, oh, this is actually great for another one of my decks. So it just helps you narrow things down and get a bearing on the thousands of cards that exist.

Rachel Weeks
I think when people ask how I know the amount of cards that I know, even though I've only been playing since 2017 or something and I know all these old cards, it's because of Skyfall, it's because of the amount of time I've spent on this site just doing searches and building decks from scratch. Yeah, you really, really start to build your familiarity with the pool of magic cards. That are there because whenever you're searching for cards to try and find some board wipes for my new deck or something, you'll start recognizing the same cards that are showing up there and the little niches that they fit into. And it's really nice. If you're sold on Skryfall, I recommend that you make an account if you go into your accounts page.

So here's mine. You can change the filter options immediately. So it says it automatically includes arena only cards. We're never playing on arena when I'm doing this kind of searching, so I'm just going to turn off both MTGO cards and arena only cards. So I'm only getting cards that show up in paper.

This does include funny cards. This so this would be her silver bordered cards. If I'm building legally, I probably don't need those to show up either. And I don't want tokens, planes, or even vanguards to show up while I'm searching. Then you can save these search options and it'll sort that way all the time.

Like I usually have mine set to eh, rec rank as well. So when I search for something, it automatically shows me the most commonly played cards in commander. Just saves you a couple clicks when you get to the actual search result. You're like, most of the time I don't need to search for these alphabetically. I don't have an a themed deck, so Edhrec rank is just more useful to me long term.

Those are the basics of the site. That's how you used the advanced search tool. We're going to get into how to use syntax to really speed up this process and give you the exact like how we search for cards. Naturally, without even having to use advanced search. We're gonna get to that and we're gonna tell you all about how to use scryfall tags, which are so helpful.

Jordan Pridgen
Amazing. After a few words from our sponsors. Ah, truth Seeker. I am Mirko. Some call me the obsessive theorist.

Jordan Pridgen
Ooh. How about Zergo and Ojitai? Did you just drag and drop that card image directly into your deck? Yep. With architect, you can drag and drop card images from EdA direct or skryful directly into the deck.

C
List. No. No typing required. That is so cool. Ooh.

Okay, check this out. I'm gonna drag and drop dragonstorm into the deck and then boom, I'm gonna drop a bunch of dragons on the battlefield. A nine drop, huh? Seems ambitious. It was just for the pun.

Archdeck is the best place to browse, brew and playtest commander decks. Just go to architect.com commandzone to get started. That's archidekt.com commandzone. Welcome back, everybody. We missed you.

Rachel Weeks
We did. We hope you enjoyed the end. Yeah, I really hope you did because I probably made them. We're talking about Skryfall today. Speaking of which, this is not an ad.

We just love scryfall. They haven't offered us anything for this. We did reach out to them and they sent us a couple of long emails with some good tips and tricks and stuff. So thank you, Skryfall. They're the best.

So the advance search is a really great place to start if you've never used Scryfall before, but that page is sort of, it's on easy mode. Yeah. It handles everything for you and it keeps you safe. It's like training wheels. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It just makes sure that you know the capabilities of the site and you feel confident in your own capabilities to use it. But if you want to take off those training wheels and you want to ride a big boy bike. Yes. Then you start to learn syntax. This is the deep end, everybody.

This is the deep end. So this is what you can search in this search for magic cards bar. Other than just the names of magic cards, you can search for little expressions and then follow it up by shorter search terms. And you don't even have to go to the advanced page at all. I never go to the advanced page anymore.

No, I don't either. So we're going to cover a lot of this today. We're going to cover the stuff that we use the most. But if you really want to just get started with syntax right away. There is a great page on the scrifl website.

If you just click on syntax in the top right corner, it'll take you to a scryfall search reference page that has a ton of different search expressions, color and identity card types. Card text, mana costs. It goes so deep, you can search for extra cards. You can search by rarity, all of the things that are on the advanced page, but also so you can search by cubes. It gives you a ton of different options.

Actually, knowing all of the different search options on skyfall is impossible. Oh, it's insane. There's no way you can actually know it all. Every single time I open this website I learn some weird trick. We learn tricks making this episode.

Jordan Pridgen
Oh yeah, we were both sharing once being like, we can do that, I'm going to use that. I never do that. That's so cool. Smart. But I feel like we should put the cause we're talking about how complicated it is and how much is going on here.

It's way less intimidating than it sounds. You don't need to know all this stuff. No, you're not gonna know all of it. All you need to know is some little ones and we're gonna teach you those. And you already know the terms for most of these things anyway, so it's don't worry about memorizing it, just learn as you go and we'll give you a couple of great shortcuts that we use to get started.

Rachel Weeks
Yeah, so a note on syntax before we get into it, if you've never used search syntax in other more capable sites, anytime that there's a space between a search term, it considers it a new term. So normally when you're using a colon, you would write note space and then write the note. Yeah, if you're writing it on a document for a stranger to read. But when you're putting in a search term, if you do oracle colon space, draw a card, it's going to assume you're searching for nothing. Yeah, it'll freak out and tell you it doesn't know what you want or it'll search for the word oracle.

It'll search for Oracle. Draw a card in card names. Yes. Which isn't exactly what you want. So anytime you're using it, you have no space between the colon and your search term, Oracle colon.

Draw. Yep. And just like when we use the text box in the advanced search, if you're going to say draw a card, you need to put parentheses around those or it'll assume that those spaces are different. Search terms. Yeah, quotations.

Jordan Pridgen
Yes, that's what I meant. Not parentheses. You can use parentheses, but for different things, we'll get into that. Quotations. The first thing we're going to talk about is color, because that's pretty simple and that's a great one that you're going to use.

Rachel Weeks
So there's two different search terms. Like there is in the advanced search, there's color or c. Both of those will search for the same thing. You can search by using the abbreviations for colors like the Wooburg. Just the single letters.

Yeah. White, blue, red, green, black. I did it in the wrong order. That was all five. Yeah, but I dropped one.

You can also search C for colorless, or you can search by the names of guilds and wedges, which is actually. How I do it most of the time. See, I use Wooburg, which is funny. So if you're searching for cards that are like Dimir, for example, we're looking for cards that are the colors blue and black. You could search color ub, and that'll give you all of the cards that are blue and black.

You'll notice some of them are red, some of them are white, some of them are green, but they're all blue and black. Blue and black. You could also search color Demir, and that'll give you the exact same search. If you want to use the shorthand instead of using color, it's just c C Demir or C colon ub. If you want to use the same thing, as few letters as possible.

Jordan Pridgen
Yeah, you're trying to get your search per minute up. This is a great way to do it. So that'll give you all of the cards that contain that color. If you're looking for cards that are exactly blue and black. Yeah, we don't want friggin Admiral Beckett brass here.

Rachel Weeks
No, we're looking for blue black cards for our blue black deck. Geez. Grick says you change the colon to an equal sign and that will give you stuff that is exactly the color blue and black. So all of these cards that are available are exactly blue and black. Aether blade agent looks weird, but it's black on the front, blue on the black.

Jordan Pridgen
That one's tricky. Blue on the bottom. I started at the top and for a moment I was like, did we mess up and I'm like, no, we didn't. No, we didn't. Scryfall just knows better.

Rachel Weeks
So those will give you, you can also do color equals, but anytime you add equals instead of a colon, it just means exactly this. Don't be cute, scryfall. Actually, I like it when it's cute. But again, cause this goes back to the color versus commander one that we did earlier. Color is not Commander coded.

Jordan Pridgen
It's not color identity, it's just the colors the actual cards make. If you want to do the commander. One, there's a different tag for that. Yeah, it's identity. So this is, you can search by either the word identity colon, or you can search for id colon.

Rachel Weeks
You could also use CI colon, which means color identity. Commander Colon works too. Commander colon works as well. There's a lot of different things. This is the fun part about scryfall.

Jordan Pridgen
You can pick which of these little modes you like. You could never be wrong. Do it your way. So if you want to search for a card for your blue and black commander deck, you can search id colon ub. You could search identity ub, you could search for Ciub, you can also use the color search here as well.

Rachel Weeks
So you could search for ID Demir, and that will give you all of the cards with the color identity demir or less. Yeah. And clearly this hasn't held on to the commander legal thing because the very top one is a silver border, which just shows you how important it is. To, yeah, you can always add in legal commander, and that'll limit to just commander legal cards. There you go again.

We're searching by name automatically here, so we can switch that to EDH rec. And there you go. Yeah, you'll find a lot if you're using color identity and you sort by EDH rec. Rank Sol ring will be the top option a lot of the time. I did want to mention that you could use equals here as well if you're looking for stuff with exactly the color identity Dimir.

This is different from cards with exactly color Dimir because it includes lands, it includes talismans and that kind of thing, which have a black identity. But aren't the colors blue and black? Yeah, lands are a really useful thing to be able to look at with the color identity because the majority of lands don't have a color, but that's not useful to you if you're trying to find ones for your deck. I wanted to mention, you don't have to search by actual color either. You could search by numbers of colors, which I learned fairly recently.

So you could search color two, and that'll give you all of the cards that are legal in commander that have two colors. So if you're making like, what Nivmizit reborn, is it the one that he wants all two color cards in the. Deck about cards that are two colors, there's also a threefold signal, which cares about cards that are three colors. Yeah. So you can search on Skryful for that and limit it by maybe you're building a threefold signal deck, you brave soul.

You can add in color identity. So what if we're doing teamr, which is red, blue, green, and there it is. So this is all the three color teamer cards. It's when you really want those pips in there. You know, you have a very specific deck in mind.

Something I learned while we were doing research for this is you could also do c, colon, m, and that'll give you everything, all of the multicolored cards. That's pretty neat. Yeah, that would be great. You know, if you're building the four color aragorn that cares about all different colors, and you're like, I want to get as many of these cards to hit multiple things as possible. Absolutely.

And these are only going to give you the gold border ones because it is not color identity. If you search CI, m gives you all, everything with a multicolored color identity. So I would think that is honestly the most useful syntax that you can learn. The very first thing I do, like, if I saw Felix five boots would just be type in id and then bug. Yeah, or id soltify, because I just know that that's what I'm going to be searching for.

Jordan Pridgen
I don't want anything that's outside of that. And then every other search, I'll just build off of that one. And I use CI as my color identity search. But you could use identity. You could use id.

Rachel Weeks
Any of those work just fine and you just pick one and that's your lane. If it's easier for you to remember the full text of it, like searching color colonial, then just do that. It's not going to save you all that much time. And you're probably not doing hundreds of scryfall searches a day like we are for work. This is our job, people.

The next one we want to talk about is type. So this is fairly easy. It's just type colon. You could also search t colon. Super simple, and it's as simple as you want it to be.

If you're looking for a legendary Merfolk, you put in t colon. Look at all those options. T colon. Legendary. And it'll give you all of the legendary Merfolk in existence.

This is where ore comes in the most. Yeah. So I wanna talk about it here, especially if you're looking for instants or sorceries. If you're building some kind of spell slinger deck, you wanna include all of the spells. And the way to do that, well, one of the ways to do that is by doing type instant or type sorcery.

Jordan Pridgen
And then, bam, you'll get every cards in our sorcery. Yeah, 6484 cards. There's a whole bunch. And that's not exactly something that we're going to go through. So naturally you would want to include, let's say we're building that Nivmizit deck and we add ciur.

Rachel Weeks
Uh oh. Things look. What went wrong? Things look weird because it looks like you'd be searching for type instant or type sorcery with the color identity blue and red. But when you add or into a syntax search, it separates everything before the or and everything after the or into separate search terms.

Jordan Pridgen
So what it is searching for right now with the way we just put it in, is something that is either an instant or a sorcery with the commander identity you are. So that's why you'll notice that the instance can be any color, but the sorceries are only going to be blue or red. Luckily, there's a really easy way to make this do what you probably wanted it to do when you were typing that, which is to use parentheses. That's parentheses now, not quotations this time, parentheses. So if you wrap that instant or sorcery thing in parentheses and then do any of your other searches outside of that, you're going to be finding instants or sourceries that match all of your other search terms.

Rachel Weeks
Yeah, this just splits the stuff inside the parentheses rather than splitting everything else that you want to add. So anytime you want to use an or, and you want to add additional syntax to it, then you put all of that outside of the parentheses. Okay. Another way to make it like, let's say that you didn't particularly care about it being an instant or sorcery, but you certainly didn't want it to be a creature spell. Yeah.

Jordan Pridgen
You know, like we are looking for a non creature spell. Instead of doing instant or sorcery, you could do minus type creature, and then it's not a creature. Yeah. Anytime that you're looking for something, of course you just put in the search syntax. But if you want something to not include something, you just add a minus before the search syntax.

Rachel Weeks
So minus type creatures will give you all of the non creature things in magic. If you wanted to search for, let's say I need a creature, but I don't want it to be a human because it's a mutate deck. You can search type creature and then you can minus type human, and that'll give you all of the non human creatures in magic, which is almost 12,000. Yeah, I remember I was working on building a volo deck once, and every time I added a card to it, I would minus that creature type from the thing. To get all the different creature types in, it got to a really, really long.

Gets you to a crazy search syntax. I mean, all of this is very useful, and it's helpful when you combine it with other things. Like, let's say this is not a mutate deck. What if it's a winoda deck so you could search. We're looking for creatures that aren't humans, that are inside the color identity, red and white, and you want cheap ones.

So we're going to add that next because you want in Winoda, you want non humans that are cheaper than winoda. You want to get them out early and be able to attack and do crazy stuff with them. So the next thing we're going to add is mana value. Yep. And this one's easy.

It's mv for mana value. And this is the converted mana cost that used to be called the mana value. The pure number worth. Yes. If you are a boomer and you don't want to use mana value, you can also use CMC.

Jordan Pridgen
It also works. CMC also works. It's very exciting. So this is when we start to add the equal sign that we talked about before. But also you can use less than or equal.

Rachel Weeks
Less than or greater than carrot signs. Yeah, these ones, you remember those, there's. A word for them. It's like comparators or something like that. Yeah, you remember, it's like the fish mouth.

Yeah, the alligator. The alligator wants to eat the bigger item. Why? And then he puts his butt toward the little one. We're introducing alligators into syntax.

So winoda is four mana value. So let's say you want creatures that are less than that. If you do mana value less than four, this will give you all of the non human creatures in red and white that are cheaper than Winoda. There's almost 2000 of them. So, you know, do whatever you want.

But you know, it's better than 12,000 or whatever it was a moment ago. So if you're like, all right, I have lots of two drops. Yeah, but I really do need more one drops in my deck. You could search for mana value equals two, and that's gonna give you all of the one drop non human creatures in red and white that you could put in your wnoda deck. And you get some good ones right away, like Ragavan Skrelve, giver of ruins.

These are all good cards that you could just throw into your wnoda deck. And here they are in a perfect list for you. Now if you want, for instance, to, let's say you don't care as much about them coming out before Winoda, but you still wanna keep your curve around being able to play if you'd be able to play Winoda. So if you were only looking for things that were less than her, if less than four, you're gonna find one, two, and three. But you can also do less than or equal to by just adding the little equal sign to it too.

Jordan Pridgen
And, well, that's greater than or equal to. Excuse me, but the principle remains the same. I got my alligator backwards. Then this will find things that are equal to the value or less. Like that could be useful for.

I don't know if you're building a deck that's trying to cascade or something like that, and you want to make sure that you have cards that will be hit off a particular cascade. Yeah. Honestly, I rarely use the equal sign when I'm searching for mana value. I just pick the number that's higher. I use it all the time.

But I think that just speaks to a little part in my brain because I used to be a programmer. Yeah, yeah. You're trying to get exactly less. Equal. No, if I need less than or equal to four, I pick less than.

Five, which is fair. Mana value is really helpful. That's one that I use a lot, but of course the most complicated one is oracle text. Oracle text. This is also the one I use by far the most, for sure.

Rachel Weeks
So this is the text section of the advanced search one. This is where you're going to put those quotations in, or the little teal day in for searching for card names. If you're searching for phrases, of course you're using the quotes like we mentioned before. And this is easy, it's just o for Oracle or Oracle. So you, o colon, quote, draw a card, close quote.

Jordan Pridgen
There you go. That'll search for every single card that says draw a card on it. If you, this is the Josh Lee kwai search. I was gonna say we call this one the JLK. If you don't want to exclude cards that draw two cards or that say, draw x cards, then you could modify this search.

Rachel Weeks
You could search for o draw o card, and this will search for every card that says both draw and card on them somewhere. Yeah. So now we've got the brainstorm shows up which says draw three cards.

Anytime that you're searching in oracle text, you can use o. If you want to search for multiple words like that, you just put o again on the second search phrase. It's worth noting that you do need to be kind of careful about this and obviously the cards will come up and then you can read them. But if you search o draw o card, then you could find one that's like whenever an opponent draws one or. More cards, like smothering tithe.

Jordan Pridgen
Yeah, exactly. Something that doesn't actually draw you cards, but is referring to those words in various places in the whole thing. So that's when it becomes really useful to start paying attention to how syntax is worded on magic cards and stuff. Yeah, the more specific that you can be with your oracle search, the better. So if you don't want this to include like cantrips, for example, that only draw one card, you could just throw an s on the end and say, now I'm only looking for stuff that draws multiple cards at a time.

Rachel Weeks
Draw oracle, draw oracle cards. Yep. These are very general searches, but the more specific you can be, the fewer cards you're looking through. And again, this is just an example. I mean, like the whole trick to it is that you're going to be adjusting this to whichever commander that you're building each individual time.

Jordan Pridgen
And it can be really great when you're trying to find things. Like when the committing a crime thing came out. Right? Yeah, there were lots of different ways that you could target different stuff. And so just being like, well, instance of sorcery is a target isn't going to help you.

You wanted to find every card that says target thing and like look through and all that. And Oracle text really helps you find those things for sure. One more trick for people who already use oracle searches pretty well. You can also search for cards that have symbols on them, and each of these are going to have a different set of letters and symbols that represent them. So if you want to search for something with a tap symbol on it, you could do Oracle colon and then this squiggle bracket.

This squiggle bracket. I don't know what those are formally. Called the squiggle bracket, you know, that are unlike music, a t. And then you close the squiggle bracket, that's going to give you everything that has tap in a cost in magic. If you want to look for stuff that, let's say, oh, I don't want lands in here, you say minus type land, and now we're getting all of the creatures and enchantments and artifacts that have tap in their oracle text somewhere.

Yeah, and there's a couple other things for, like, colorless symbols, color symbols and stuff, and they're all kind of covered in the syntax section in the thing there. If you want to go in and actually read what those are, if there's. A symbol that you're looking for, you're going to be able to search for it in Skryfall and you can google it or find it on their syntax page, which is extensive. Yeah. So this next one we wanted to go over is kind of like a special case, which is really useful.

So if we were looking, let's say we were trying to find cards with flying for our deck. Like, we're looking for red white cards with flying. Easy, Jordan. I search oracle flying CI red white. That would probably get you most of the cards that have flying, but here's a great example right at the top.

Akroma's will doesn't have flying. That's an instant ridiculous. It's just a card that mentions the word flying on it. So it would also find things like destroy target creature with flying or anything like that. But if you actually just want to find cards that have flying on it, you can do keyword or kw flying.

Bam. There are actual flyers. So this will give you, this is the real deal. This will give you a search of all of the creatures that are flying that fit in the color identity of boros. So this is basically a fancy oracle search, but it does make things a lot simpler.

Yeah, it's great. Anytime I search for keywords, I always get Audric. And you're like, get out of here. You're like, come on, Audrick, you don't have anything. You don't have any of these things.

This is one of those little tips that I learned in the process of us putting this together because the Skyfall people sent us. This was one of the things in the email, and I was like, oh. Infinite possibilities on this website. And this is my favorite syntax to use, is the criteria drop down that we were talking about before you can search for any of those criterias. Using the is colon search term, the.

Is search is amazing. There are lots and lots of things. Like if you can imagine it, it's probably a criteria search. That being said, you should probably look up if it's a criteria search if. You'Re going to use it sometimes, I guess.

Rachel Weeks
And if it doesn't come back with one, I'm like, all right, I do all the time. Because every now and then I'll be like, well, is this thing? And it'll happen. I'll be like, of course it happens. Of course.

They're so smart. Scryfall's got my back. Is commander, I think is one of the most useful searches. So is commander searches for all the things that could possibly be in your command zone. So this is a little bit more extensive than just type legendary type creature because it'll also include planeswalkers.

That can be your commander. It'll include Shurakai. Yeah. Anything that has the text on it that's like this can be your commander. It'll find backgrounds.

So it's just a better way to find things that you could put in the command zone. Another one that's really nice is historic. If you're building a historic deck, they use this as a theme a lot. This will give you all of the artifacts, sagas, and legendary permanents that will trigger all your historic stuff. Generally if they're doing the batching thing that they've started doing more like outlaw and stuff is will be what you can find.

Jordan Pridgen
That'll just find it. I think is party will work and just finds you all the cards that have one of the party types on it. Yeah. So that's super useful if you're trying to find something that specific. We showed you how to search for instant or sorcery earlier.

Rachel Weeks
I think the way easier way to find them is to search minus is permanent. Bam. Now we're excluding. Look at all those permanent. So it gives you all of the instance and sorceries.

This is functionally the same search as type instant or type sorcery. Yep. Minus is works. You can also search not permanent. We'll give you the exact same search.

Jordan Pridgen
A lot of these things are pretty much just your preference for how you want to type it in. I think to some people, not is going to make more logical sense than minus is. That's an option that you've got right there. Let's do a couple of examples of cool criteria that we use. So we built a.

There was an Elish norn mother of machines deck for game nights a little while back and she doubles up ETB permanence. So if you do is etb id w you can find a lot of things that etb and do stuff. No, this will give you everything that there's some as enters the battlefield things or some things that trigger when other stuff enters the battlefield. But basically, anything that cares about as or when it enters the battlefield will come up under this search. And it's a really robust search that you're like, all right, not all of these are super relevant, but Felidar retreat's a great one.

Rachel Weeks
Field of the dead is very powerful. Oh, yeah. A lot of these are really gonna go off pretty quick, but it just shows how much with just those two terms, you're already just getting a huge amount of things that you could add to this Alishnorin deck. Another one that got printed recently was a riku of many paths. He cares about modal spells, and so he is teamer.

So he's rug, and he was looking for cards that are modal. You can type in is colon modal. This will give you all of the spells that give you options. Ridiculously useful. I don't know how I would be searching this if I had to find the oracle text to put in.

And it doesn't search for exactly what Riku is looking for because it gives you stuff like coma, but you're like, coma is modal. It errs on the side of being broader. So what I would probably do if I was building this is I would do minus is permanent. There you go. And now you're searching for all of the spells that feel a little bit more modal and are gonna trigger your commander.

Jordan Pridgen
Notice how all these pieces are meshing together in a perfect little scryfall puzzle. It's great. One more that I think is fun. So Jasmine Boreal of the seven, she cares about vanilla creatures. And I love this because how are you supposed to search for something that has nothing?

You go, minus this, minus this, minus. This, minus all words. First you put in her color identity, which is green and white. Then you can type in is vanilla, and that'll search for all of the creatures that don't have any rule stacks. There you go.

Rachel Weeks
One more that I use a lot is you can search by cards that are specifically universes beyond, or more likely, you can search by cards that aren't universes beyond. Yeah. You know, I know sometimes I'll be building a deck, and I'm just like, look, I want this to all be magic cards, right? Not that universes beyond cards aren't magic cards, but I just don't want doctor who in this deck for flavor reasons. So you can search is colon.

UB will give you cards that are universes beyond cards. If you're building a deck around any universe beyond chaos reigns. Or you could put in not Ub or minus is Ub. And that will give you all of the stuff that isn't a universe's beyond card. Yep.

Jordan Pridgen
And that's a great way to filter that stuff out or add it in. I built the card in the betrayer deck and I wanted to have more 40k cards in it. So those you can, if you're looking for a specific one, you can. And of course search by set. But if you're looking for stuff that's just generally beyond the magic universe, that's a helpful one.

Rachel Weeks
Well, we've teased it. It's power. I think it's time. This is what it was all building up to. Once you can do this, the world is your oyster.

This was a huge leveling up moment for me as a deck builder, and it's learning to use scryfall tags. We've teased it. It's time. Not every commander has a clean is term like the ones we mentioned, like Riku or Jasmine. Sometimes you're trying to search for stuff in a vague strategy.

Jordan Pridgen
Yeah, it'll be something like cast from exile stuff. Yeah, toughness matters and you're like, I. Don'T know how to search for all the things. I could search Oracle toughness, but that's going to get you all of the cards that just have a changeable toughness. Or gives them pla.

Yeah. So it's just not. Oracle text can get very complicated. So when you learn how to use scryfall tags, you can actually search for some of these strategies based on tags that have been applied to them in the skyfall system, often by people who. Just work hard to go in and tag stuff.

So it can do a lot of things that are more like abstract ideas that we as players understand but that are harder to quantify. Yeah. So like before for Felix, we were searching for cards that trigger on deals combat damage. Yep. But that search will exclude all cards that say deal combat damage.

For example, if more than one, or if, if one or more creatures deal combat damage, suddenly it didn't pick that up. And I really want to find there has to be a tag built around that kind of thing, or maybe there isn't, but it's possible that there's a tag built around that kind of thing and the easiest way to find tags, in my experience, especially relevant tags, is by going to a card that you already know is powerful in the strategy that you just want to find more of. Yeah, and so, like, if you do the deals, combat dance, image search, you're probably gonna find at least one that you're like, great. This is the sort of thing I'm looking for. A really powerful card in this strategy is Kodama of the west tree, and this would have shown up in our original search.

Rachel Weeks
It deals combat damage to a player, is in the actual text. But if we wanna find more cards like this that may not have that exact phrasing on them, you can go down to the bottom and click on this open Skryfall tagger button. This will give us a page that has all of the tags that Skyfall has applied to. Kodama gives trampole, saboteur, tutor land, basic ramp synergy, modified Tutorland to Battlefield. It even gives you much more broad things like counters, matter synergy, aura synergy equipment.

There's tons of tags that are all attached to this card, and some of them are really relevant for what we're looking for right now. Like, I noticed that there's a tag there that's caused saboteur. Huh? I wonder what that does. Well, if you click on the saboteur tag, it's gonna take you to the page that defines the tag for you.

And it says effects that trigger when you deal combat damage to an opponent. Scryfall, you dog. That's exactly what we wanted. It's done all the work for us. Oh, scryfall.

So this will take us to that tag page, but I usually hit this button, which will pop it back out to scryfall so we can modify the search syntax a little bit. So now we've got an o tag attached to it. Saboteur. We can add in bug and limit it to just cards in our color identity. And we could sort it by EDH rec rank, and it'll give us cards that are most commonly played in these strategies.

Jordan Pridgen
And look at that. There's Toski and Biden to Thassa. These are some great cards, and some. Of these would have come up in our search before Toski and Biden. Naftasa would have popped up in the deal's combat damage oracle search.

Rachel Weeks
But Grimm hireling, which says whenever one or more creatures you control deal combat damage, we would have just missed it. And that's so powerful in this strategy. So you're like, all right, now I have a more complete view of cards that trigger on combat damage plus, we learned a cool new term, saboteur, which I had never heard before. I now use it all the time. All the time.

Because it was a tag. Yeah. And we also recently did a budget upgrade for Ganti, which used saboteurs, but super useful. So you'll notice that in this search function, it added Otag. And then the tag saboteur, you can either use OTag or you can use function colon.

As far as I can tell, they function similarly. Colton. I think that they're exactly the same. I guess I shouldn't say that 100%, but I always just use function. I typically use function.

It's just the one that comes more naturally to me. So if I was searching for this and I already knew the tag saboteur, I would search function colon, saboteur, color identity, bug. And the thing is, there are tons and tons of tags out there, like, I guess, at function tags all the time. I mean, one of the simplest ones is I'll be looking for function board wipes in my colors. And, I mean, that's actually a terrible example because I kind of know most of the board wipes, but it will work.

Jordan Pridgen
You can go to board wipe, and it'll give you anything that is destroying all of things on the battlefield. So in this case, I'm giving you some great examples. The tag is bored wipe, so you can search function colon, board wipe. Another really good one is that you can just do, like, card advantage, like function card advantage. And that won't just find things that are card draw, it'll find things that let you do impulse draw or leave you up cards in various ways.

It can be really broad and really useful and a great way to just find something that is trying to fill a specific need in your deck in whatever category you're trying to set it up in. And genuinely, you do not have to memorize any of these tags. If there's one that you're using a lot, then you can commit it to memory. But most of the time, I think you're just going to find them by going to cards that you know are good in. The strategy for passionate archaeologist, for example, is really good in cast from exile strategies.

Rachel Weeks
Again, you go to the open Skyfall tagger page. And here we go. We've got burn player, mana, value matters, synergy, commander, synergy exile cast or synergy exile? Those are both great tags for me to search. If I'm building a deck that cares about anytime I cast something from exile or any time I cast something from other than my hands, a lot of.

Jordan Pridgen
Time, the easiest and simplest, first thing to do is actually search your commander up, go into their skyfall tags. There you go. And see what relevant things are there, because it's gonna find stuff that will lead you to other cards which are gonna fit its strategy. It's very useful. And Skyfall, I wanna mention that these tags are not necessarily perfect.

Rachel Weeks
Yeah, they are tagged by the community. These are tagged by humans. I believe most of them are tagged by scryfile patrons or employees. Yeah, I think there's the tagging project that you can sign up for and be part of and participate in and stuff. But crowdsourcing, that kind of stuff means that you get so many more brains on it and you're gonna see so many things.

And a lot of the time I'll find a card on a tag that I'm like, oh, I didn't think to do that. Search, and I'll steal the exact oracle text from it and put that back in my search bar and search oracle colon, whatever that text is, and close the quotes. The tags are shockingly good too. They're really very effective. So many options.

Jordan Pridgen
And to show you that not all of them are based on just hard mechanics for you people out there who are just building the best decks, you'll. Notice when we search for a Felix five boots, for example, when you look at Felix's tags, you're gonna get some ones at the top here. They're artwork tags. It says cowboy hat, multiple arms, thunder junction, lots of legs, ooze, clothing, hat, plain. All of these are art tags that have been tagged by the community that looked at Felix and was like, he's wearing a hat.

Rachel Weeks
Hit him with the art tag hat. Yep. So if you search for an art colon, you can search by different art keywords in Skryfalls. So if you want to search for art that is underwater, you can search art colon underwater. Look at that.

Jordan Pridgen
Look at all these fish and tortoises and everything in this is underwater. If you're building so cool. If you're building your ladies looking left deck or oops, all hats, this is. How you can find even more of them. Or just check and be like, did I miss any big ones?

Rachel Weeks
Like, I have a five color pony deck and I have used these art tags many times. I've searched art horse or art unicorn or art Pegasus or art pony. Yes, these are all different. And you can search for them and it gives you every single card that has like, tiny horses in the background. That's what I love most about it.

Jordan Pridgen
Too, is sometimes you'll be like, there's no horse in this. And then you'll be like, there it is. Wait a minute. Look at that itty bitty little horse. And it just gives you.

Rachel Weeks
You can take this search, and you can search sorted by EDH rec rank. And you're like, oh, I didn't even think that this new path to exile art has a horse in it. I could probably put it into my horse deck. And it will find it. It will look through all the different arts of the things.

Jordan Pridgen
Yeah, you'll be shocked how often you'll be like, wait, I've seen that card. I just haven't seen that printing of it. Right? I love the artegger for stuff like that. If you're trying to build any kind of thematic deck, I love to check cards that are part of that theme and see if you can just see all the stuff with art in them.

Rachel Weeks
Like, if you were building the two colored galadriel, Galadriel of Lothlorien, for example, and you wanted all of the cards that had Galadriel in them, then you could search art Galadriel. And that's gonna give you all of the Lord of the Rings cards that were printed, that had Galadriel on them, or, like, one of her things, like her ring or whatever. And now, if you also wanted to expand it besides just the art, this is a cool one I like to use. Cause I get really into the lore of characters and stuff. You can do lore and then the name of something.

Jordan Pridgen
And this will find cards where they are mentioned in the flavor text. It will find ones where they are named after it and stuff. So this one is finding all these ones with Galadriel quoted down in it, or the file of Galadriel, which has her name in it. Things like that sometimes. Yeah.

Rachel Weeks
You wouldn't know that she has a quote on the gift of strands, or you wouldn't know that this is actually her on the elvish visionary. You're like, now I can include it in my Galadriel themed deck. You can do this with non universes beyond characters. If you're a Chandra fan, you can search lore Chandra, and that'll give you all of the cards that have Chandra on the text somewhere. So either in the name of the card or the flavor text.

Jordan Pridgen
I do this a lot when I'm trying to write ads for certain things. Sure. If we're doing a norn the wary or something, I'll be like, there's got to be some norn quotes. There has to be and they're almost always are. All right, that's everything we're gonna add.

Yep. And that's a lot. We've covered a number of different ways to use scryfall, and a lot of them are sort of, you know, seasoned to taste. Yeah. We do want to do a couple final exercises just to tie the room together and show you what happened, like how we use it in building.

Rachel Weeks
So let's say we're building a voya. Deck, jaws of the conclave, and we. Popular new commander. You probably never heard of him. Yeah.

Jordan Pridgen
Obscure. I know I just said popular, but then I liked your joke better. So, Scott Ward. So the first thing we're gonna do is add the commander identity. So id colon, red, green, white, or id nya, if you'd prefer.

I do prefer. Thank you for changing it to Naya. We're searching for either wolves or elves, so you could do type wolf or. Type elf in parentheses. We put those parentheses around the two types because we're looking for either wolves or elves that meet all of the other qualifications that we're putting into this bar.

Rachel Weeks
Let's say again, we're looking for creatures that are less than Voya's cost because we want them to come down before we cast our commander, and we probably. Just want to keep our curve low, you know? Yeah. Cause we're trying to win. So I'm searching for mv less than five, everything with mana value less than five.

And because we are familiar with some tags that work in counter strategies, you could also do o tag or function colon counters hyphen matter, and that'll give you all the cards that have been tagged with counters matter. This is a great search. This gives us 13 elves or wolves that care about one plus one counters in some way. And a lot of these, like Shalai and Halar, probably already show up on the search page for Voya. But if we were looking for some that are a little less popular, or if you find one that you're like, oh, I want to build around this strategy a little bit more, then this kind of search is, it's gonna get you there.

It's gonna get you further than just looking at the EDH rec page and giving it exactly what it gives you back. Well, it's worth saying this is a very specific one, and it's found all these particular cards there. And Voya is a commander that has been built a lot. So people have all discovered all these things, but especially early on, I find cards that fit in my decks that I had never seen and didn't even think about all the time by going down these little deep dive. Absolutely.

Sometimes you'll just think of a search that you're like, oh, I should have searched. I don't think I ever looked for that. We're going to do one more example. Voya is a very straightforward build. You know exactly what you're looking for.

So most of the time, all of those cards are going to show up on the EDA trek page. But if you're building a commander in a slightly more unique way, or if you have a very clear vision for what you want the deck to do, that isn't necessarily how everybody else is building it, then Skryfall is going to be a much better tool than Edhrec for deck building. So the example that we're going to use here is I built a Jola Toyak, the smiling flood deck, which basically just wants to clone as many Jala Toyaks as it can to get the untapped trigger over and over and over again at the end of the turn and just do a ton of crazy untaps on the end. So one thing that was really important to me in building, it was having stuff that could come down and immediately have counters on itself, things that would stay on the board and that had tap functions that I could take advantage of using over and over again. This is a slightly trickier search, but it's going to start similarly.

So we're going to search for id simic. Yep. Because that's Shola Toyk's color identity, then we're gonna search for is permanent. Yeah. Cause I wanna be able to use these every turn.

Jordan Pridgen
Gotta put counters on it and stuff. We're gonna use that oracle search that we had before with Oracle. Tap sign. Yep. Again.

Rachel Weeks
Squiggle t squiggle again. Okay, so the way I did this, and there's a couple ways to do this, but this is just sort of a hint of something that's like a slightly more advanced thing, is you can use regular expressions in it. This can be really complicated, but the simplest version of it is just instead of using quotations, you use slashes. Yep. So in this case you do slash.

So this is specifically to add a search for stuff in the oracle text that puts counters on itself is what we're looking for with this expression. Yeah. So first o colon, and then I. Just want to do put. And this is a fun little trick you can do in these regular expressions.

Jordan Pridgen
If you do period asterisks, then it basically just means any number, yada, yada, yada. Any number of things in between that then counter period asterisk on space tilt. So you want to put it on itself. So that'll find something that says, you know, put five void counters on your guy. This card.

Yeah, put up to blah, blah, blah. And they need to say it in that order. But it doesn't necessarily matter what comes between it. And as you can see, the things that come up here are all immediately really good little additions to the deck. I feel like this is how this search could come to be.

Right. You find the one ring, you're like, that's incredible in this deck. Yep. How do I find more things that have this ability that put counters on themselves so you don't have to figure out how to put counters on them and that have a tap ability, so it's even more powerful with the untap effect. And now you get tons of those.

Rachel Weeks
Midnight clock is a great example. Absolute bomb in the deck. Marwyn the nurturer puts counters on herself. When other elves enter the battlefield in a big mana deck like yours, you might have a couple of elves in it, replicating ring or mana dorks that put counters on them. Look at devoted druid.

Jordan Pridgen
This is an amazing example of one, because once you've done the minus one, minus one thing to untap her once, suddenly she'll do all the untaps every time it goes on. And that's such an easy one to activate. You can also find things like this and then add little extras. I think one that'd be interesting to add that I searched for, because mime makes so much mana that it needs to use at instant speed. So a big part for me was function manasync.

Rachel Weeks
So for this one, we probably get. Rid of, but even in this one, you can probably find a couple of examples. Function mana sync. Yep. And I mean, this is just like a couple little examples in here.

Jordan Pridgen
But if you look at, like, crawling barrens, like, this is something. If you are making a ton of mana at the end of the turn, you can just be storing it all into power on the crawling barons, which can turn into a creature and try and win the game for you later. And it's a land that puts counters on itself. There's a lot of synergy going on here that wouldn't necessarily show up on the EDH rec page because people aren't necessarily trying to untap their stuff as much as you are. Yeah.

Rachel Weeks
If you want to do a simpler version of this search using stuff that we've only talked about today, you can get rid of all of the other stuff and add multiple oracle functions so you still have id colon semic is colon, permanent oracle colon tap. And then you could just search, put Oracle Colon, put Oracle Colon counter Oracle Colon on quotes, on Tealday to represent the card name and close the quotes. And that'll give you a very similar search. In this case, it gets almost exactly the same search. Yeah, this was a very specific type of search, but in the case that the order of words matters, you can do a more complicated search, really limit it down to cards that are just relevant to you.

Skryfall is so powerful for deck building. The fact that we took the thousands and thousands and thousands of cards and we narrowed it down to 120 cards that you can scroll through that are great for exactly what you're looking for is, I mean, it's the ultimate tool for any deck builder who wants to build more creatively or build decks that are not just the average deck that you would find on EDH rec. Yeah, and especially if you're building an obscure, I mean, these days it used to be that there were so few legendary creatures that all of them have been built a good amount, but now with partners and backgrounds, you might be doing a combination. There's only 2030 decks that people have built for the whole thing and trying to find some things that are very specific. And scryfall is like a treasure hunt sometimes.

Jordan Pridgen
Like you will be going through and you'll find cards and you'll go, oh my God, this is absolutely perfect for what I'm trying to do. And terrible in every other deck. Yeah, and that's like the best feeling, I would say. If you're a new deck builder, then Edatrek is an incredible tool to get you started on what a deck could contain. So if you're building Felix five boots, for example, you go and you see how other people are building him and you can see what kind of cards are showing up repeatedly.

Rachel Weeks
And then if you want to find some that are more unique to your deck, or if you have a narrower strategy, like a Felix five boots equipment deck, for example, you can go to Skryfall and you can narrow that search to exactly what cards you're looking for for your 99. And it's great when you're getting started and it just gets better and better and more useful as you get more experienced with deck billing with the cards. And there's never a stage where Scryfall is not extremely helpful. Yeah, we talked about a lot of stuff today and I'm hoping that all of it is helpful and you can come back to this as a reference. I don't want you to feel pressure to have learned all of this today and to be putting it into practice today.

All of this is just to show you the capabilities of the program and to get you started learning because scryfall actually makes it very easy to teach yourself how to use it and figure out what ways work best for you. We already showed you so many different ways that like you could search this way or you could search that way and none of those ways are wrong. So the more that you teach yourself, the more comfortable you are using the program in a way that you want to use it. It's also worth noting, and I know we've played this ad like a hundred times for our sponsor architecture, but I know when I'm building things I will just make an architect list, start searching for things in Skryfall, and then literally just click and drag the cards from Skryfall into the list all the time. That's how I build decks now.

It's awesome. Once I figured out that you could do that, it's two windows up all the time and it's really sweet. You can find some really cool stuff and it makes your deck look very custom to you.

If you want to learn more about scryfall, if you're like, you guys only covered some basics here today, you can become a scryfall supporter. It's honestly huge. You should. I use Skyfall all the time for my work and being able to give them something back to make their website better to reward them for their hard work for this incredible website and tool tool for deck builders is so important. But also they have communities that just, yeah, they have a discord.

They have. You can join their tagger project. I believe it is still going on. You can join their discord to ask questions about how to best search or how to suggest new features. They're always growing and customizing and adding different things.

You can also just learn the sort of weirder ins and outs of using syntax you can search for.

When I was searching for the toughness. Guy, yeah, the pride of Hulk, I. Did a search that was mana value less than toughness cause I wanted stuff that had a higher toughness than I was paying for it. And you're like, that's a weird thing that it is able to do for me. So there's a lot that Skyfall can do and the more you learn about it, the more you can be a better deck builder.

So go support Skyfall. We are huge fans of them over here and you can learn all about it by becoming a supporter. Do make an account though. Actually it makes it a lot easier. Yeah, it's super great.

Great to the listeners. Do you have any special search functions that you like on Skyfall? Would you be interested in an even deeper dive into Skyfall? This was kind of just the basics. There's more stuff that you can do all the time.

It is possible we could put together another scryfall episode if people are into this audio only people. I really hope that you followed along. We did our best to make sure that we said everything that we were doing on the computer. Yeah, go sit down at your computer later and try some of this out for yourself. Get on Skryfall, try it out.

It is worth the time. If you're using Skryfall and you find some sweet new cards like we talked about today, go to cardkingdom.com command. Pick up all of those cards in one place. Card Kingdom has the professionalism and the huge selection to get you a ton of cards in one package shipped to you safely so you can be confident that your paper shows up safely in the mail. I remember I ordered a card kingdom package and it showed up soaking wet because the Los Angeles mailman just left it in the rain.

Jordan Pridgen
They just don't know what to do. With rain in this and I think just throw it in a puddle, it'll be fine. And I opened it and all of my cards were safe because it was sealed well. And it probably came with a cute little token too. It's a cute little token.

How nice. Plus you can support the show while you're shopping. If this episode helped you find some cool new cards, you can support us by buying those cards on cardkingdom.com dot command. And once you have those cards in your hand, you're gonna need to protect them. Go to ultrapro.com command to pick up some of the highest quality magic accessories in the business.

Rachel Weeks
Binders, sleeves, deck boxes, wall scrolls, dice, card sorters, plushies if you're a gamer. Yeah, they do. They've got like little plastic guys and they've got like dice bags. There's a lot of really cute fun stuff on the alge pro website. Wowy.

If you are really into like a secret lair, sometimes they'll do drops that coincide with secret lair art that go really, really fast. So paying attention to the ultra pro website does pay dividends. When you want a cutie patootie on your play mat, support the show and support your magic cards. Keep them safe and organized and beautiful. Over@ultrapro.com.

command, before we go, I want to mention once again, just for everybody who didn't hear us in the last episode, I want to shout out Commanders Herald's new game, spelify, which I know we've. Been playing pretty frequently around the office. Yeah, it's so funny because I can always, for those who haven't played, it's on the Commander's Herald website. It's basically hangman with a magic card. So it's a magic with blanks in all of the numbers.

The only thing you get is, I believe, the types and the colors, but not the creature types. And you guess based on those things. You guess letters. And as you go, you can eventually guess the card. And like I said, you just always have the whole text box, and I can't think of the name of the card.

Jordan Pridgen
Well, now we've taught you a great way to cheat at. Yeah. Go to qualify. And you're like, blue artifact creature. You're like, oh, yeah, just give me a moment.

I'm answering a text real quick. You know what, guy? It's Urza high Lord artificer. It was Cyberdrive awakener the other day, and I was like, it's the 6th man of four four flying. That gives you all the non creatures in four four flying.

Rachel Weeks
That one, the artifact creature. Every word in the text box. Couldn't tell you the name, but it's a ton of fun. Go play it. Support them.

They're doing cool new stuff for gamers. It's great. It's funny because, you know, Jamie and I, the other writer, used to just, like, do games like that between the two of us. And we called it the Skryfall game because we would just do searches on Skryfall and they'd be like, okay, here's the information you get.

It's a brewer's playground, scryfall. It's a ton of fun. Before we go big, thank you to our amazing team here at the command zone. To Damon Lentz, Eric Lem, Megan Yip, Gharav Galadi, Jamie Block, Arthur Meadowcroft, Manson Lung, Josh Murphy, Jake Boss, Sam Waldo, Evan Lipperger, Katie Cole, Mitch Trafford, Josh Lee Kwai, Jimmy Wong, and of course, to Jordan Pridgen for taking the time. Yeah.

To talk about Skyfall with me. I love talking about Skyfall. So I was very excited to do this episode. It's the best. I really hope that if you haven't used it, you try it out, and if you do use it, you know, how to use it a little bit better this time.

Jordan Pridgen
Yeah. See you next time, guys. Bye bye.

Thank you for your attention. For further inquiries, send an email to commandcastocketjump.com or ask us on Twitter and Josh Lee kwai. See you later, alligator. Greetings, human.
