I think it would be great if you can add searching by casting cost, and or power/toughness

Piotr

Why would I want to search by p/t?

BlackJester

{meekstone}
{Goblin Tunneler}
{Wild Pair}
To name a few...

Queezle

Or to find a card stronger than "x"

There really are so many parameters you could use to search by: casting cost, subtype, legendary status, etc. problem is, how to add the right amount without over crowding the GUI.

Mentonin

Legendary is already possible. And searching for type filtering does look into subtype

BlackJester

Well that's a good point and I missed it because Legendary and Basic are supertypes, not types. But whatever. Casting cost is still on the table.

Bluenote20

A "sort" by casting cost would be nice

Habardeen

I would strongly suggest a search criteria by single words in cards text. At the moment if I search in the Oracle text more than one word it finds all the cards with those words printed strictly one after the other.

Instead it would be great to have the basic search functioning like google (entire lines search only if brackets "" are used). An example below:

Your English is better than some english-as-a-first-language posters. ;)

Goblinking

When building decks I find I wish that I could add multiple cards at once when using the filter option, for example I search for standard: black: common: uncommon and I get a nice list of cards and I click on one of them to add and then I have to enter my search options for the next card, it's mostly only annoying when I'm browsing because I dont know all cards by name, but it would help with deck building greatly I think

You know that you can lock your search parameters, right?
