Integrate Scryfall MTG search into OpenClaw. Access real-time Magic: The Gathering card prices, rules, images, and set data with ease.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/santidev95/mtg-edh-deckbuilderWhat This Skill Does
The scryfall-mtg skill empowers the OpenClaw AI agent to interface directly with the Scryfall API, the industry-standard database for Magic: The Gathering (MTG) card information. This skill enables the agent to search for specific cards, retrieve high-resolution card images, track real-time pricing data (USD and foil variants), check format legality (Standard, Modern, Commander, etc.), and pull rulings or Oracle text. Whether you are building a competitive deck, researching complex rules interactions, or simply browsing card art, this skill provides accurate, up-to-date information fetched directly from the official Scryfall platform.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/santidev95/mtg-edh-deckbuilder
Ensure your local environment is configured to handle outgoing network requests to api.scryfall.com. The skill is maintained within the openclaw/skills repository and adheres to standard header requirements for API identification.
Use Cases
- Deck Construction: Search for cards that fit specific criteria like mana cost, creature type, or card text (e.g., 'Find me a 2-mana blue counterspell').
- Rule Clarification: Retrieve the latest Oracle text or official rulings for a specific card to resolve tabletop disputes.
- Market Analysis: Identify cards within a certain price range or track the current market value of cards in your collection.
- Random Inspiration: Generate random cards based on specific filters (e.g., 'Show me a random legendary dragon from a modern set') for fun or drafting scenarios.
Example Prompts
- "Search for 'Rhystic Study' and show me its current price and format legality in Commander."
- "Find me all red creatures with power 4 or greater that have the 'Haste' keyword."
- "Show me a random card from the 'Modern Horizons 3' set."
Tips & Limitations
When using this skill, keep in mind that the Scryfall API enforces rate limits. The OpenClaw agent is programmed to handle this with a 50-100ms delay between requests to ensure compliance. If you are conducting broad searches, narrow your query using syntax filters (like c:red, t:creature, or usd<5) to reduce the number of API calls and improve accuracy. Always verify the object field in the response to handle 404 (not found) or 422 (invalid query) errors gracefully. For double-faced cards, remind the agent to check the card_faces array, as data for both sides may be stored separately.
