A (Belated) Year In Review

It’s been a bit over a year since Scryfall launched, and we’re really proud of all of the improvements we’ve made. Here are a few highlights:

In addition, we have some amazing news: Scryfall is now solvent! Our Patrons and our members are covering all of our hosting costs per month. This is a huge milestone for us, it means we no longer have to spend money from our own pocket to keep Scryfall available and fast. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

Extra support goes towards helping us tip community members that source images for us, and transitioning Scryfall from a passion project to something that can support a part- or full-time development team.

And now without father ado, here are the answers to year-end questions you submitted:

What do you get asked for help with the most?

The Planeswalker Deck cards are very polarizing. A lot of people ask us how you can filter them out. (It’s not:pwdeck by the way.)

What’s your favorite thing you’ve seen someone do with Scryfall?

The whole Scryfall team was surveyed and here are some things they chose:

  • Scryfall regular expression golf
  • April King made some great collages from our images
  • We often get messaged by students asking if they can incorporate Scryfall’s API into their computer science projects. We’re really, really happy that it’s inspiring novice programmers. 🙌

What are your favorite tokens?

What are your favorite “Out of Flavor For This Color” cards?

Unfortunately (or fortunately), the answer to questions about our most popular pages and what people search for is somewhat boring.

Thanks!

This amazing year was all because of you and your contributions! Here’s to many more! 🎉
