Budget Friendly Searches
This site is focused on making it easy for you to find cheap Magic the Gathering cards for your Commander decks.
The search function have some default options marked with budget builds in mind. A regular search should get you a result where you get cards with the words you put in the card text. The cards should be legal in Commander, be sorted by Mana Value and showing the lowest USD price for that card.
Please note that any additional clicked options will be added to the search results. For example, if you mark the "instant" and "sorcery" options you will search for cards that are both, not either or.
You are able to adjust your options and narrow down your results with the clickable options avaible to you, as well as sorting methods. For advanced searches, use the Scryfall syntax.
Scryfall
The search function uses the Scryfall syntax. You can use it by marking the Name / Scryfall option. Searching by name is the default for Scryfall but not this site.
A simple search uses colon followed by the search term but you can also use other inputs like >= (more than or equal to) and more. You can combine them to narrow down your search. Add a hyphen before something to exclude it from the search.
For a complete list and explanations with more examples, check out Scryfall's excellent guide.
Example:
c:w t:enchantment cmc<4 usd<=1 -o:protection
This will search for white enchantments with a mana value of less than 4, with a price less than or equal to 1 USD and that does not include "protection" in the card text.
