You can apply filters, sort by, or hide columns by right-clicking them on a PC, or pressing ≡ on mobile. Your column order and visibility preferences will be kept after you switch pages.
All columns should function as the filters describe, with the following exceptions:
  • 'Between' Function: To use the 'between' function on any number column, separate each number with a space and then select the 'between' option (eg: '4 10', minus the quotations would get all results between 4 and 10).
  • 'NULL' or 'Empty' Results: Set filter 'Is Empty'. This will find results where we show an emdash —
  • PFS Legality: Numbers Only. 0 = No PFS Ruling; 1 = Standard; 2 = Limited; 3 = Restricted
  • Traits: Use 'Contains' for one Trait at a time. Does not support multiple Traits yet.

For increased filtering power, click the 'Export to CSV' button in the top-right of the grid and further filter the data in Excel or a similar medium.
