Search Syntax

Basics

A bare word like spider searches card names and subtitles (deck titles and heroes on the deck browser). Use "quotes" for multi-word phrases.

A filter is field, operator, value: cost<=2 or aspect:justice. The : and = operators both mean “equals”; numeric fields also take !=, <, >, <=, and >=. Most fields have a short alias — a:justice is the same as aspect:justice.

Values can be shortened to any unambiguous prefix: t:all means type:ally.

Prefer tapping to typing? The Filters panel next to the search bar writes this same syntax: its controls read the current query and each change edits it in place, so the two always stay in sync.

Combining terms

a:justice cost<=2 space between terms means AND (writing and also works)
t:ally or t:event or matches either side
(t:ally or t:event) cost:1 parentheses group
-trait:avenger a leading - (or the word not) excludes matches
a:justice|leadership | tries several values for one field

Global search

The Search button (in the sidebar or the mobile header — or press ⌘K anywhere) opens a search palette that searches the whole site at once — cards, decks, heroes, packs, card sets, villains, and scenarios — with this same query language, grouped by type.

Add in: to limit results to specific types: in:decks spider, or several at once with in:cards|decks. Types: cardsdecksheroespackscard_setsvillainsscenarios

A typed filter also narrows the search on its own, to the types that understand it — cost<=2 only ever matches cards, so only card results appear; aspect:aggression means both cards and decks.
