Hybrid Card search in Gatherer
General forum

Does anyone know how to search for cards with hybrid mana symbols of two particular colors? Or let them be included in a search?
Let's say I want to look for cards with BBB in their cost and include cards like Nightveil Specter with its (U/B)(U/B)(U/B) cost in my search. Any ideas? Am I being stupid? Should I just use the simple search and look through all of the U and B cards for ones that are hybrid?

I can't help you on gatherer since I'm sure the syntax is different, but on magiccards.info you can do an advanced search and in the mana cost field putting u/b in soft brackets and >= in the selection box will yield all UB hybrid cards.

Thanks man, that helped a lot! Sadly, I disbanded the deck it was for. Just one of those brews that didn't taste right.

No problem. I personally like magiccards.info because its advanced search seems more intuitive to me.

That sounds like it's pretty awesome. I'll give it a go sometime.

For a basic search Gatherer is great, but you're right, there are more intuitive sites. Gatherer can be very confusing.

If there's a trick to it I don't know it, I was going through something similar trying to build up a grixis EDH deck, it's a pain in the ass.
