Hi all,

I saw this thread https://deckbox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=8116 which explains you can use {w} to search for the white mana colour in the Rules text of cards.

The other colours are fairly straightforward, using their first letter, with {b} standing for black. However, Blue uses {u}.

White - {w}
Blue - {u}
Green - {g}
Red - {r}
Black - {b}
Uncoloured - {u}

Are there any other shortcuts like this that people know?

*Sorry mods, should have posted this in Site discussions.

On the contrary, I really appreciate your advice - still learning about the game (and suspect I will be for a good while!) so posts like yours are much appreciated. While I have bought a couple of planes walker decks, I can see that creating my own (and challenging the kids to do so) will be more fun than playing pre-made, and finding ways to incorporate unusual cards will be part of the enjoyment. Great shout on checking out their price BTW, that is a quick and handy metric, and then I can dive deeper with the 'this card is played in X decks' feature of different sites.

Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed reply!

I have only started playing the game, and intend to introduce it into school for the kids when we return, post-covid.

So I have been buying the odd job-lot on ebay (I wish TCP had more UK dealers!) and have ended up with a wide range of cards. I have put together a small list of around 33 artifacts and artifact creatures that look decent, so I guess my question is, are they?

I realise that this will depend on the deck built, but at the same time, if there are cards that are obviously poor/not played much, it would be great to know!

Thanks for any help smile

as another relative newbie, this reply was fantastic - thank you.

I would add to it to say that you can usually buy commons on Ebay pretty cheaply, I got 700 Eldraine cards for around £6. Lots of doubles (or quintubles) but they can be moved on.
