Search Guide

Use search to find commander decks by commander, color identity, cards, tags, and built-in filters.

You can keep it simple and type something like atraxa, or build a more specific search like cm:atraxa card:"Sol Ring" is:legal.

Start Here

Type a commander name to search commanders: atraxa
Put filters next to each other to narrow results: atraxa tag:blink
Use OR when either option should match: cm:atraxa OR cm:voja
Put - in front to exclude something: -tag:budget
Use parentheses when you want to group part of the query: (cm:atraxa OR cm:voja) is:legal

Search Basics

Bare words search commander names. atraxa works like commander:atraxa.
Putting clauses next to each other means AND.
AND and OR are case-insensitive, but they must be separate words.
Negation uses -, not NOT.
Use double quotes for values with spaces, such as card:"Sol Ring".
Field names are case-insensitive.
Parentheses control order of operations.
Search order is: parentheses, then negation, then AND, then OR.
Unknown fields and unknown card names return an error instead of being silently ignored.

Supported Fields

Field	Aliases	What it does	Supported operators	Example
`commander`	`commander`, `cm`, `cmdr`	Search by commander name	`:` contains text, `=` exact name	`cm:atraxa`, `commander="Atraxa, Praetors' Voice"`
`ci`	`ci`	Filter by color identity	`:` or `<=` subset, `>=` superset, `=` exact match	`ci:wu`, `ci>=wu`, `ci=wubrg`
`card`	`card`, `c`, `cn`	Find decks that contain a card	`:`, `=`, `!=`	`card:"Sol Ring"`, `-card:"Mana Crypt"`
`tag`	`tag`, `t`	Match a deck tag	`:`, `=`	`tag:blink`, `-tag:budget`
`is`	`is`	Apply a built-in filter	`:`	`is:legal`, `is:partner`

Search by Commander

Bare text searches commander names with a case-insensitive contains match.
commander: works the same way.
commander= does a case-insensitive exact match.
commander!=... is not supported. Use -commander:... instead.

Examples:

atraxa
commander:"Atraxa, Praetors' Voice"
commander="Atraxa, Praetors' Voice"
-cm:atraxa

Search by Color Identity

Use the letters W, U, B, R, and G.

ci:wu means the deck’s color identity is a subset of white-blue.
ci<=wu means the same thing as ci:wu.
ci>=wu means the deck includes both white and blue.
ci=wu means the deck is exactly white-blue.

Examples:

ci:w
ci:wu
ci>=br
ci=wubrg

Search by Card

Card searches use exact card names, not partial text.
Matching is case-insensitive.
Multi-word card names must be quoted.
If a card name cannot be resolved, the query returns an error.

Examples:

card:"Sol Ring"
c:"Smothering Tithe"
cn!="Mana Crypt"
card:"Sol Ring" OR card:"Arcane Signet"

Search by Tag

Tag matching is exact, not partial.
tag: and tag= behave the same way.
tag!=... is not supported. Use -tag:... instead.

Examples:

tag:blink
t:sacrifice
-tag:budget

Built-In Filters

Supported is: values:

Value	Meaning
`legal`	The deck’s commander is legal in the format.
`commander`	Every commander in the deck would be legal as a commander by the rules of the format (i.e. a legendary creature, or a planeswalker with the “can be your commander” ability).
`partner`	The deck uses multiple commanders.
`legalpartnerpairing`	The commander pairing is a legal partner pairing.

If your user is set to only search legal commanders, then is:legal, is:commander, and is:legalpartnerpairing are automatically added to the end of your search query.

Examples:

is:legal
is:partner
is:definitive
cm:tymna is:legalpartnerpairing

Putting It Together

Examples:

cm:atraxa is:legal
cm:atraxa ci>=wubg
card:"Sol Ring" -tag:budget
(cm:atraxa OR cm:voja) is:partner
ci:wu tag:blink -is:definitive

Quoting Tips

Use double quotes for anything with spaces.
Quoted text is treated as one value.
Bare words are split on whitespace.
Embedded double quotes inside a quoted value are not supported.

Examples:

"Sol Ring"
card:"The One Ring"
commander:"Atraxa, Praetors' Voice"

Common Mistakes

NOT tag:budget: use -tag:budget instead.
card:sol: card searches need an exact card name such as card:"Sol Ring".
tag:bud: tag search is exact, not partial.
commander!=atraxa: use -commander:atraxa instead.
ci>wu: use ci>=wu, ci<=wu, ci:wu, or ci=wu.
