MTG Quick Search Extension

MTG Quick Search is a simple extension that allows you to quickly search for Magic: The Gathering cards without leaving the page you are currently on.

Cards are displayed as actual MTG card images which can be moved around the screen and resized. Alchemy/Rebalanced cards are supported, as are double-sided cards. Links to Gatherer, Scryfall, and EDHREC are provided for every card.

Select a card name and activate the extension using the right-click menu or keyboard shortcut Option+Shift+S (macOS) or Alt+Shift+S (Windows/Linux) to look up the card. Escape closes the cards one by one.

Press Option+Shift+E (macOS) or Alt+Shift+E (Windows/Linux) to open a popup in which you can type the name of a card to search for. Escape closes the search popup if you want to cancel.

MTG Quick Search is an unofficial extension made by an MTG fan, and is not directly affiliated with Wizards of the Coast. Uses Scryfall's generously provided API.
