Show Your 9 Favorite Magic Cards

Search Magic cards and sets

The search box above queries Scryfall, the most complete Magic database in the world, live and in your browser. Type Lightning Bolt, Snapcaster Mage or Emrakul — or just a fragment of an MTG card name you half remember — and real catalog entries come back with their set and collector number. Every result is a specific MTG card identified by its own Scryfall id, so two cards that share a word never blend into one pick, and the same card can never fill two slots of your MTG grid.

Double-faced MTG cards display their front face, and each entry carries its real set name — Innistrad Remastered, Foundations, Limited Edition Alpha — so an MTG grid reads like a trade binder, not a guess. Below the grid, the Not sure what to pick? panel ranks hand-verified MTG classics by color and card type: tap Red and Instant and the MTG burn spells surface; tap Green and Creature and the monsters arrive. Every suggestion is a real card from that curated list — nothing invented, no fake popularity numbers.

Build a 9-card MTG collage

An MTG grid is a deck-building autobiography. Most players fill the center square first — the card that won the game nobody thought could be won — and then the honest work begins. Some arrange their nine MTG picks by format: the Standard season that clicked, the Modern staples saved for over months, the Commander engine nobody else at the table enjoys. Others go by color identity, a full mono-red burn row against a control spine, or by era: Alpha art beside this year's MTG printings, thirty years of the game on one poster.

Drag cards into position on desktop, nudge them with the arrow buttons on mobile, and pick from six themes — paper, dark, cream, vinyl, neon and red. A title, a subtitle and your handle finish the MTG poster; turn on card names under the grid for readers who do not know every piece of MTG art on sight. When all nine MTG cards are placed, export a 1080×1080 square, a 1800×2100 poster or a 1080×1920 story — rendered in your browser, free, no watermark, no account. The share link encodes your exact nine cards so a friend can open your MTG grid, swap one card for theirs, and export their own version in under a minute. Drafts save automatically in your browser, so slot nine can take as long as slot nine needs.

Find cards by color and card type

Color is how MTG players think, so the suggestion panel leads with it: White, Blue, Black, Red, Green and Colorless — the MTG color pie itself — each tap re-ranking the curated candidates. Card type is the second lever — Creature, Instant, Sorcery, Planeswalker, Artifact, Enchantment and Land — and together they cover the axes every MTG deck is actually built on. A nine-instant nightmare grid, a planeswalker lineup, a colorless artifact machine: all of them are two taps away from existing.

Prefer to browse real sets? Search accepts set names too — type the set you opened as a kid and pick from what comes back. However you fill your MTG grid, the rule stays the same as every other grid on this site: nine honest choices, one poster, zero friction.

MTG examples you can remix

These example MTG grids are real, live posters built from actual Scryfall entries — not mockups, and every card in them is a real, current MTG entry. Tap Use this grid on any of them and the editor opens with all nine cards loaded, ready to rearrange, retitle and export as your own.
