Beta site up for searchable card database

Hey everyone!

I've created a searchable card database for the game at http://www.mtgpq.com/.

I say it's beta as I know I don't have close to the complete set of cards right now, but I've been focused on getting the site up and running first. The next few weeks I will focus on getting as many cards as I can into the database. (If you want to send me screenshots to add to the database, use the contact form on the site. Thanks!)

Please feel free to let me know if you have any suggestions or comments. Thanks!

    I like it.

    My only issue is certain cards: Possessed Skabb, Blood knight, and Blazing Hellhound, are all multi-colored and thus don't fit into the structure list you have.
    Maybe another section is needed for multi-colored cards?

    I've had some luck with some blue rares. Is there anywhere I can email you a couple of them
  • @Blahahah they should show up on both color lists, I screwed up the data entry on the Blazing, but Irooas Champion you can see show in both. Ya showing all the clans in that master list might be a pain, not sure if that is the best solution, I will give it some thought.

    @Tarouza there is a form under Contact on the web site you can send screentshots. Thanks!
  • Here is a link to a web directory of screen caps I've taken of 95% of my cards. Sorry, I've not had a chance to rename most of them.

    Nice work
    2 errors I found so far:
    - call of the full moon is in colorless instead of red
    - steamroller is in white instead of color less

    Will add more as I find out.
  • @Morphis good catches, updated

    @rlh thanks for those scans, I'll be adding something like 25 out of there.

    I just bought a bunch of Google Play credits so I'll be whaling on some packs and updating even more cards this week, thanks for the feedback so far everyone!
  • If you set up a simple form for submissions people could help!
  • @pandabear

    The contact page acts as a submission form for now. I haven't coded up some good image resizing features yet, so best to use the contact form and then I can do all the resizing properly. Thanks for the tip.

  • Thanks for everyone who's helped contribute images so far, I just completed a massive update, we're up to 184 cards now. Would be nice to know how many there actually are to have something to aim for! I have a bunch of submissions to sort through and add, but gotta spend some time with the family during Christma, hopefully can have another update in a few days!

  • Hey everyone! Massive update just completed, we've got 238 cards in the database now!!!! I updated a bunch from someone who posted a list on Reddit, but no screens for them, but still good to have the data in there. I think based on what there is in the DB right now, we can probably guess for each color there is

    5 Mythics, 10 Rares, 20 Uncommons, 20 Commons? Really not sure except the counts for Mythics/Rares is probably right.

    We're getting there, community has been great considering we're all so new to the game. Thanks for all the contributions!
  • Added some mouseovers on the keywords, hope that is helpful! Still looking for those last few cards to finish off the database, I'm trying to save up for the 14 pack bundle!
  • A huge THANK YOU for adding that glossary. I haven't played the original MtG in over 15 years so I couldn't recall what anything meant!

    I always hate to ask for features on hobby projects like this, but since it might be easier to update now, rather than later, can you add a search feature where you can search for cards by skills (i.e. Haste, Trample, Flying, etc.)?

    Thanks again for the hard work. 238 is a lot of cards! I'm going to assume/guess their are 250 of them so you might be near finished!
  • Some things I noticed:

    Fleshbag Marauder (B) is incorrectly labeled as rare.
    Gaea's Revenge (G) is incorrectly labeled as rare.
    Bonded Construct (C) is incorrectly labeled as rare.



    I'm sending over some pictures shortly of missing cards...

    Molten Vortex (R)
    Chandra's Ignition (R)
    Outland Colossus (G)
    Orbs of Warding (C)
    Alhammarret's Archive (C)

  • Thanks for the update images! I've updated those.

    I've also added the abilities search in the advanced search feature. (Also fixed a bug someone reported but they didn't provide email/contact - fixed it for you though!)

    I am now working on user login/deck tracking as the next big feature set, although that will be awhile before you see that! Also would like to finish off all the remaining cards so if anyone has any missing ones let me know!
  • 2 new cards + 1 screenshot for a card available on the site without image

    The site is looking great btw icon_e_smile.gif
