Landing page captured for the 2026-09-02 issue.

Field notes

The interface combines a source-card lookup with a recommendation layer that ranks possible replacements, then lets users narrow the list by format legality, color identity, mechanics, and price. A cart preserves selected cards across refreshes and searches, and the TCGplayer Mass Entry link provides an external handoff for purchasing. The page says prices are estimates and identifies Scryfall as the provider of card data and images.
