Find Cards

The Find page lets you search every list on a public site for a list of cards of your own. Paste in the names of the cards you’re looking for and Find shows which of them appear in which lists — handy when you’re browsing someone else’s collection and want to compare it against a list of cards you have or want.

There is no CLI or admin-site equivalent; Find is a public-site browsing feature only and never writes anything.

Open the Find link in the navbar (next to Trade). Paste or type card names into the box — one card per line — and press Search. Find loads every list in the search scope — by default every deck, collection, and wanted list — and shows, grouped by source list, which of your names appear in each. Results are rendered as a card list view: hovering a row previews the card art, foils shimmer, and clicking a row opens the full card detail. Each row also shows its printing and price.

Matching is by card name, case- and accent-insensitive:

  • Front faces only. For a double-faced card written as Front // Back, only the front side is searched — everything from the // onward is ignored. Searching Bruce Banner matches Bruce Banner // The Incredible Hulk; searching The Incredible Hulk does not.
  • Double-art printings are included. Some cards are printed with two identical faces, e.g. Steam Vents // Steam Vents. A search for Steam Vents returns both the normal printings and those double-faced printings.

By default a search covers every deck, collection, and wanted list on the site. The Search in controls between the text box and the Search button narrow that down:

  • Each list type — Decks, Collections, Wanted Lists — has a checkbox that includes or excludes every list of that type at once. Untick Decks, say, to search only collections and wanted lists. The tally next to the name shows how many of the type’s lists are in scope (e.g. 3/5).
  • The arrow next to a type expands it to a checkbox per list, so you can search just one binder or a handful of decks. When only some of a type’s lists are ticked, the type’s own checkbox shows a mixed (indeterminate) state; clicking it then re-includes the whole type.

The scope applies when you press Search (or Add Cards to Search): results already on screen stay put if you exclude their list afterwards, until your next search replaces them. Find also only downloads the lists it actually searches, so narrowing the scope makes the first search on a large site faster. With every list excluded there is nothing to search and the Search button is disabled.

If any of your names don’t appear in any list, Find:

  • leaves only the unmatched names in the text box (the found ones are removed), and
  • shows a warning near the top reading “N cards could not be found. The unmatched names remain in the box above.”

This makes it easy to refine the leftover names — fix a typo, try an alternate spelling — and search again.

After your first search, an Add Cards to Search button appears next to Search. It searches the names currently in the box and merges the matches into the results already shown, rather than replacing them. Type more names, press it, and the new finds are added to the existing groups. (Pressing Search again instead starts a fresh search.)

Results are multi-selectable, but these picks are local to the Find page — they do not join the global cross-list selection used elsewhere on the site. Tick the checkbox on any row (or Ctrl/Cmd-click the row), or use the checkbox in a source-list heading to toggle every card from that list at once.

An action bar sits above the results (its buttons are disabled until you select something):

  • Select All — selects every card in the current results.
  • Add Selected to Trade — adds every selected card to the active trade, each carrying its original source list (collection/deck cards go to the left side, wanted cards to the right). Name-only cards prompt for a printing, just like elsewhere.
  • View Selected as List — opens the selected cards as a synthetic list named Search Results, using the same Combined List view. This gives you the full toolbar — grouping, sorting, filtering, multi-select, and Add to Trade — over just the cards you picked, each still carrying its original source list.
  • Clear Selection — clears the page-local selection.
