Searching by activated ability cost?
TappedOut forum
Posted on Nov. 29, 2014, 11:38 a.m. by Named_Tawyny
Hello:
I'm trying to search for creatures who have the 'untap' sign in the cost for their activated abilities. Is there a way to do that? I've tried searching rules text for 'untap:' but the search just ignores the colon, and gives me any creature with the word untap in it.
If anybody has done this before, advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Actually, it doesn't seem to be doing it. It gives me things like Brine Elemental which doesn't have that symbol at all.
This is in the rules text box, yes?

Ahh. That'd do it. I was searching on Tapped Out.

Sorry, I figured out later that you searched on TO. I always use the Gatherer.

In the TO database, it's formatted as "Untap". That makes searching for it complicated, as it also finds stuff like Awakening.
On magiccards.info it's formatted as "[Q]", where the brackets are the curly brackets (braces? and how do you display them in comments?).

Yes. You have to type "untap symbol"
