It's a scenario with which many are very familiar. You're heading to a MagicCon and perusing the mammoth list of artists who'll be in attendance, and wondering if there's an efficient way to search through your decks to see just how many cards you're playing that were illustrated by those artists.

To help, Archidekt has just announced a new "MagicCon" feature, free for users of the deckbuilding website. For the upcoming MagicCon Vegas, there are a whopping 61 artists who'll be on-hand to sign cards, sell prints and tokens, and chat with attendees. And with Archidekt's help, you can arrive prepared.

How to Use the Archidekt Artist Search Feature

Previously, you'd have two options. You could have simply memorized every card done by every artist. Or, you could open up Scryfall, search cards by each artist, and cross-reference that with every card in every deck you've got.

Now, simply sign in (though it's not required) to Archidekt, choose your deck from the drop-down menu or import a text list, and Archidekt will tell you instantly which cards in your deck were illustrated by artists who'll be attending MagicCon Vegas.

And even if you're not signed in, you can easily paste in an export from another site to import into the program.

And if you'd rather see entire catalogs of each artist's work, you can do that, too:

Simply head to the page, scroll down, and click "view artist's cards" for a convenient ready-made syntax search revealing every card by each artist.

And while you're there, if you see a card that strikes your fancy, you can add it to one of your existing decks with the click of a button.

If you're heading to MagicCon Las Vegas, look for Archidekt's banners near the Artist Alley at the convention center, bearing a QR code that'll take you right to the Archidekt MagicCon Artists page.

Until then, be sure to keep up with the latest Final Fantasy deckbuilding contest and get your decks ready to rock.
