@scryfall.com Any advice for how to search for MDFC's that are castable in a mono white deck? (not a commander deck, i don't care about identity). I expecting something like front_mana= and back_mana= but can't find a way to search the sides independently.

In MTG, why do only damage spells tell you what the source of the effect is in the card text? And why do they use a different tense? Murder should either say "Murder destroys target creature" or Lightning Bolt should say "Deal 3 damage to any target".

In the pods I play in. If someone draws a sol ring, they immediately exile it and replace it with something else. Because c’mon.

pitch to keep Commander games from going too long, inspired by my most recent 3-hour Commander game.
After opening hands, shuffle 2 "BOMB"s into each deck.

There has to be a better phrase than “nontoken permanent” 🙄
Oh right, just say “card”. Tokens aren’t cards.
