On January 1st, 2027, Scryfall will transition to providing only WebP for most of our images. More information available here for developers: scryfall.com/blog/new-web... PNG version isn't going away for content creators, but you won't be able to hotlink the PNGs anymore.

If your AI chatbot is telling you to contact us with five paragraphs of pleading to give your MTG project the legal go-ahead and a little kiss on the forehead: just don't. We can't give you legal advice and we don't want to hear about your vibe app.

Multiple times a week we get some huge AI-generated block of text sent in to our Feedback ticket system asking permission to use our public API. It's a public API. With documentation. You do not need to ask our permission to use our publicly documented API that is public. And documented. Holy shit.

10 years of @scryfall.com 🎉

Unknown Event cards for MagicCon Amsterdam 2026 and Gen Con 2026 are now up on @scryfall.com. They should be available to brew with on <insert your favorite deck building site here> soon™️!

We've seen people confused about what exactly is going away. Alchemy (the format) is going away. Alchemy (the cards) are staying. Rebalanced cards will be reverted. Oracle of the Alpha stays. You can play it in Historic/Timeless. Rebalanced 0/3 A-Symmetry Sage is reverting to 0/2 Symmetry Sage.

Scryfall is redefining what a card being "full-art" means in search, and adding a new term: Translucent. Since the introduction of the is:default and is:atypical designations, one issue has surfaced from their definitions: cards with translucent frames (Eldrazis) were not showing up as "default". 🧵

For API consumers, these removals will show up in our Migrations API as normal: scryfall.com/docs/api/mig...

Other Alchemy cards are staying: scryfall.com/search?q=st%...

Rebalanced cards are those whose names start with an “A” symbol. You can view a list of all Rebalanced cards here (until September 22nd): scryfall.com/search?q=is%... You can see the Rebalanced One Ring (left) and the normal One Ring (right) in this image.

On February 2nd 2027, Scryfall will remove support for the Alchemy format. The Historic format will be unaffected.

On September 22nd: 1. We will save all of our Rebalanced card images and data to a zip file that people can download permanently. 2. We will convert all Rebalanced cards to their normal versions in all decklists on our site. 3. We will remove all of our database entries for Rebalanced cards.

Arena is sunsetting the Alchemy format. On September 22nd, the Arena client will revert all Rebalanced cards to their normal versions. On February 2nd 2027, it will drop support for the Alchemy format entirely. magic.wizards.com/en/news/mtg-... Here's how Scryfall's handling the Alchemy sunset. 🧵

Scryfall will be offline for approximately 1 hour on September 13, 2026 at 10:00 PM U.S. Eastern time for urgent system maintenance. During this maintenance, scryfall·io will also stop responding. We will post another message when services are restored.

Hi, folks. Just a quick reminder that @scryfall.com has automated processes that handle whether cards that were just added are reprints or not. Those run overnight. We JUST added the Miku cards. Just now. Literally. The reprint job won't run for another ~12 hours or something. Please be patient!

Mystery Booster Commander Edition is up! We'll be working on the list reprints separately. scryfall.com/sets/mbc

Have a great time in Amsterdam, folks! I tossed up a new homepage collage to celebrate the weekend. www.reddit.com/r/ScryfallTh...

Did you just see the @scryfall.com slowness + emergency maintenance outage in the last two hours? Five separate IPs received over 200,000 ignored API warnings (429: Too Many Requests). We had to block those addresses and perform database maintenance. Do not ignore warnings. scryfall.com/docs/api

Rest in peace, Ron Spears. scryfall.com/search?q=a%3...

I'll be attending MagicCon Atlanta this November 13-15 with a creator badge! Get your badge when they go on sale so you can come say hello and get a Pippi sticker: mtg.social/MCATLCC #MCAtlanta

Happy to announce that we've got a new site to filter the Mood Swings cards. Have fun! moodswings.scryfall.com

Hmm. What could this icon be for?

Here's some @scryfall.com FYI/trivia: We often get tickets the day we upload cards saying "This card shows up when I request no reprints" but the card is clearly a reprint. This is because there is a nightly job that reconciles reprints. They will show up properly the next day. Patience! Patience!

Today I added to @scryfall.com: - 139 cards to s:MSH - 417 cards to s:MSC - 61 cards to s:FMSC - 2 cards to s:TMSC - 4 cards to s:MAR 623 individual cards added to the site today.

Should be completely resolved, now!
