I created a website to manage rotisserie drafts with friends: mtgrotisseriedraft.com

Have you ever done a Rotisserie Draft? They're so fun!!!

Thanks to @davetron.bsky.social and @gavinverhey.bsky.social for inventing the 12-set format and introducing me to it!

there's a description when you create a Brode Mode draft!

Basically, my drafts were going too long, and I was only playing against 3/7 of my friends each time. So it optimizes for faster events, less waiting, and more opponents.

It's the return of @benbrode.bsky.social - this time doing REAL MAGIC! - along with the debut of @jimdavismtg.bsky.social doing Goblin shenanigans.

Who will prevail? The fliers (WHO REALLY FLY!) or the little green men?

hmm - it doesn't return cards with X in the mana cost (or weirdly, cards with {10} in the mana cost, either. (when you remove the first OR clause) Maybe others?
scryfall.com/search?as=gr...

this is tricky!

yeah the use case here is to see all cards in a rotisserie draft pool that are castable by the colors of mana I want to have in my deck. Seems like Scryfall should have this kind of search ability (given how much crazy stuff it already offers!)

i think i got there with this abomination.

((-mana:{U} -mana:{B} -mana:{R} -mana:{G} -mana:{C} -mana:{U/B} -mana:{U/R} -mana:{U/G} -mana:{B/R} -mana:{B/G} -mana:{R/G}) or (is:mdfc (c=w or c=c)) or (is:split and (mana:{W})))

05.01.2026 21:29 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Hmmm it's a bit weird but this doesn't work for split cards that have 2 sides - how do i find those where at least 1 side is castable by mono white?

05.01.2026 17:45 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

OH! i can do this
is:mdfc (c=c or c=w)

thank you!

Wandering Archaic not in this search result

@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.

this card seems to imply a source for destruction, strangely.

Why? Murder and Bolt both don’t work against protection.

Some spells already specify when they aren’t the source. Whether that’s damage or otherwise. It’s easy to specify an exception.
