Advanced Search

Forge implements many ways to help you find the cards you want in your ever growing collection.

Pressing Ctrl+Enter in current search adds another editable search bar.
Here's how searching for all Goblins without Haste-related abilities might look:

Click the "X" in the upper right corner of each search widget to remove that filter from the filter stack.

Find-as-you-type is implemented for Deck Editor tables. Just start typing while the table has focus and the next card with a matching string in its name will be highlighted. If more than one card matches, hit Enter to select the next matching card. A popup panel will appear with the search string so you know what you are searching for. If no cards match the string, the string will be highlighted in red. Find-as-you-type mode is automatically exited after 5 seconds of inactivity, or hit Escape to exit find-as-you-type mode immediately.

Additional information

Another way to filter is using Scryfall-like syntax in the collection search bar.

If no operators are passed between tokens, Forge will assume it is joined by and. For example, t:cat t:warrior t:creature will search for "creatures that are a cat and a warrior". Make sure to use | or or for your queries, as well as parentheses ( ) when needed.

Keywords can be negated by prefixing a minus sign -. For example, t:creature -t:goblin will search for "creatures that aren't goblins".

If no keywords are used, Forge will search in their name, type and oracle text for the passed values. For exemple, (cat | warrior) will search for cards that has cat or warrior anywhere in their name, type, or oracle text. Not that it is not bounrd, so it will also match on "catastrophe". This type of search can be negated too. For exemple, lightning -bolt will search for card with "lightning and not bolt in their name, types, or oracle text", or (t:cat | t:warrior) -(orc | angel | phyrexian) will search for "cat or warrior cards that don't have orc, angel, or phyrexian in their name, types, or oracle text.
