Better Database

Hello everyone. Is there a database similar or maybe better than gatherer? Every time I use the app or when I go to the website it's so slow even when I type the full name of the card just so I can read the card rulings. Please let me know. Thank you.
Thanks for the help legendofa. Gatherer is way too slow, I'll try scryfall.

legendofa: You can do it with one search. With the following command line you get all artifacts and enchantment that mention the exact line "sacrifice a creature:":
o:"sacrifice a creature:" (t:artifact OR t:enchantment)

I've almost entirely switched to scryfall.com. It has a lot more search functions and tools. One thing it doesn't have that Gatherer does is the ability search across multiple, but not all, card types. If you wanted to search for, say, artifacts and enchantments, but not creatures, with "sacrifice a creature:" you have to do a separate search for artifacts and for enchantments. If you're looking for instants and sorceries that create tokens, you need one search for instants that create tokens and one search for sorceries that create tokens.
(Does anyone know a way around this?)
