Lorcast Search Reference

Name and Version

Names in Lorcast include both the card name and, if it has one, the version. Searching for non-exact values will do a fuzzy search for this “full name”, ignoring punctuation.

Typing in any string without a keyword will do a fuzzy search for names and versions with those strings. You can put a string in quotes for it to be treated as a single entity. A space between words will be AND together, so that the resulting query will find cards that match all the names entered.

If you want to check for a name without the version, you should use name, n keyword. Similarly, if you want to check for a version only, use version or v.

Ink

Use ink (or it's shorthand, i) to find cards of a given ink. Search for amber, amethyst, emerald, ruby, sapphire, steel.

Currently, there are no abbreviations for the inks that are well known and agreed upon.

There are no cards in Lorcana that are multiple ink types, so if you want to search for multiple inks make sure you OR the queries.

Types and Classifications

Use type, t to search for card types and classifications. You can remove types from the results by using -type.

Cost and Inkwell

Use cost or c to search for cards that match a cost criteria. You can use numeric expressions (>, <, >=, <=, =, !=) to find cards that match a range of costs.

To find cards that can be placed in your inkwell, use the inkwell (iw) keyword. You can negate it by placing a - in the front, such as -inkwell.

Text

Use text, e to search card text. Searching card text searches card text without reminder text or flavor text.

To find symbols, you should use their text counterparts. Use {E} for exert, {L} for lore, {S} for strength, and {W} for willpower.

You can put quotes “ ” around phrases with punctuation or spaces.

You can also use keyword: to search for cards with a specific keyword ability.

Strength, Willpower, Lore

Use strength/st, willpower/wi, and lore/lo to search for cards with certain strengths, willpower, and lore.

You can use numeric expressions (>, <, >=, <=, =, !=) to check for a range of values.

Rarity

Use rarity or r to find cards by their print rarity. You can search for common, uncommon, rare, super_rare, legendary, and enchanted.

You can use shorthands to identify rarity, such as c for common, u for uncommon, and so on. You can also use partial words, such as mon. The lowest rarity that includes your search term will be used.

You can also use comparison operators like > and ≤.

Set

Search through sets with the set/s keyword. You can use numeric expressions here as well to search for a range of sets.

Use cn or number to find cards by collector number within a set. Combine this with s to find specific card editions. Searching by ranges with a syntax like cn>205 is also possible.

When you use a numeric expression, it will only return cards in core sets.

Lorcana sets don't have letter codes associated with them, instead they are defined by their number. As such, you should use numbers when searching over sets.

Is

Use is: to search for cards that “are” an attribute. These attributes are not keywords on a card, but rather logical groupings of cards.

These keywords are case insensitive. Because these attributes are not tied directly to a card itself they may change.

Format Legality

Use the f: or format: keywords to find cards that are legal in a given format.

You can also find cards that are explicitly banned in a format with the banned: keyword.

Negating Conditions

Currently the only keyword that can be negated is inkwell/iw. You can do this by putting a -in front of the keyword.

Other keywords will support this in the future.

Using “OR”

By default, all terms in your search are combined together. They all must match a card for the card to be returned.

If you want to search over a set of options or choices, you can put the special word or/OR between terms.

Nesting Conditions

You may nest conditions inside parentheses ( ) to group them together. This is most useful when combined with the OR keyword.

Remember that terms that are not separated by OR are still combined. By default, all terms in your search are combined together. They all must match a card for the card to be returned.
