Title: Search your database for a land card...
Post by: SpiritedAway on May 21, 2012, 04:21:16 PM
How about something to help search for lands better? It's tough to filter lands. (pun intended)

I know they're technically colorless, but maybe someway to search by the color mana they produce. At least for non basic lands.

Example, if I could search everything that creates white blue or black, I'd be in heaven.

Agreed. I would like a way to find Ravnica Guild land easier. I 💙 them

Say u want to look for lands that give you Green or a Blue. Card database-> filter-> text: {T} add {U} or {G} to your mana pool. (yes with the curly brackets as if u were linking cards in the forums) ur telling the search to look or the Tap symbol {T} and blue and green mana symbols {U}/{G}

In short:

Symbol text

Tap-{T}
Untap-(Currently Trying to figure out the code)
Black mana-{B}
Blue Mana-{U}
Green Mana-{G}
White Mana-{W}
Red Mana-{R}
X mana-{X}
Certain Number Colorless-{#} (where # is the number you wish)
Snow Mana-{Snow}

Thr Phryxian Mana symbols are acting wierd: as {P} is the mana symbol for the Xian Red but is only showing {rage extractor}

Untap should be {Q}, if all follows suit.
Maybe try {R/P} or {P/R} for phyrexian mana.

Sire, if i may suggest something. Do not use wikipedia, use an even better/"cooler" site: wikia. It is a lot better, and you can block certain people, changes, etc. I trust it more than a "run-of-the-mill" wiki page.

Why is wikia better? It seems that iMtG is not available on http://wikia.com

Well, unless its a locked page people can mess with it. I can give an example:
In my Video & Audio Production class, a kid in my class, whike i was on wiki, added at the top:
"DSLR...are (Ms. Conclin's a fat bitch that no one likes)... ((My Name) is a f-in queer)..." and so on.
I still hate that guy :/

That's not an issue, next time someone else visits the page they will fix it, and next time an admin views it they will ban the moron.
