Title: card search specifications
Post by: scarsabrex on July 03, 2012, 09:00:10 AM
so i'm trying to search for cards that have etb effects. now the problem is the most I can specify in the rules text of the search is "when enters the battlefield" which leaves room for effects like landfall and {soul warden} to also appear. Is there a way to specify "when CARDNAME enters the battlefield" to help narrow the search?

i am already using "enters the battlefield" and I don't want to specify the effect i just want to specify the trigger.

Good one, but it may not be possible in a proper way due to restrictions in NSPredicate. The closest thing I've got is setting the Advanced Predicate to "card.text like[cd] '*when * enters the battlefield*'". Available in next major version.

can this problem be resolved with the new advanced predicate? because I can't for the life of me figure out what combination of text to use to solve it.
