What is Advanced Filtering?
Your card collection has clickable filters like rarity, orb colour, and more. But there is also an extremely powerful search bar that accepts special commands to filter your cards. Below you will find a list of all those commands with some explanations. (Please note, due to the necessary formatting, this article will look weird on mobile devices.)


 
Basic Filters
Command Example promo: + 1 or 0                                                        `promo:1` (Instead of 1/0 you can also use: true/false, yes/no) flying: + 1 or 0    ranged: + 1 or 0   melee: + 1 or 0       name= + exact card name   e.g.: `name=Mo` (exact match) name: + part of card name  e.g.: `name:enli` name? + approximate card name   e.g.: `name?abonimation` class name= e.g.: `class name=Soldier` (exact match)   class name: e.g.: `class name:Archer` class name? e.g.: `class name?Dominatrix` ability=  e.g.: `ability=swift` ability:   ability?       class: + ID (or SR assigned name)                              e.g.: `class:female` rarity: or rarity= + rarity name  e.g.: `rarity:rare` affinity: or affinity= + affinity name   e.g.: `affinity:shadow` edition: or edition= + edition name (or ID)   e.g.: `edition:twilight` colors() e.g.: `colors(nature, !fire, !shadow)` to see only nature, and Stonekin   `colors(fire, !other)` to show only fire cards colors=() exact match, e.g. `colors=(fire, nature)` to see only Twilight size: + type e.g.: `size:XL` counter: + type e.g.: `counter:XL` Affinity names: `shadow`, `nature`, `frost`, `fire`, and `-` or `none` for cards without affinity
Edition names: `3` =`twilight`, `4` = `renegade`, `5` = `lostsouls`, `6` = `amii`, `7` = `rebirth`
Color names: `fire`, `frost`, `shadow`, `nature`, `neutral`, `other`
Size and Counter types: `S`, `M`, `L`, `XL`, `special` (special is used for buildings or magic)

Number Range Filters
Operators:
     
power + number range                                       e.g.: `power>300` damage + number range  e.g.: `damage>500` health + number range  e.g.: `health>500` upgrade + number range e.g.: `upgrade<3` to show cards that are missing an upgrade charges + number range  e.g.: `charges<3` to show cards that are missing a charge copies + number range  e.g.: `copies>4`  to show what to reforge ID + number range (mostly for internal/development use and for the search in market feature)
Combining Filters

Operators:
      
      
Logical OR matches at least one of the filters. If one is matching and the other is not, it will return a result.
Logical AND has to match both filters. Only if both conditions apply will it return a result.
Logical NOT inverts the result. Beware that not all filters can be inverted, that's why it may be advisable to use !(filter).
Wrapping the filter with `( )` does not change it in any way, but allows easier organization.
 
Error Tolerance

? Name
?<number> Name
The question mark will help you to search a text with error tolerance. If you know the card name, but you are not sure about spelling, you may use this. You can also use ?<number> to specify the error tolerance you want, e.g. 'name?5' for up to five typos in the name. If you do not specify the tolerance level, level 3 will be used.

“?Light blade” will find “Lightblade” even though the search input had a space in it – “?1Light blade” would also work (because it only contains just one typo).
 
Custom Filters
*name*
You can create any custom filter you want, `Documents\BattleForge\custom_filter_extensions.json` contains some examples.
In-game you can use `*name*` (where `name` is the name of the custom filter), e.g.: *shiny* 
Note: Numbers [0-9] are not allowed for naming custom filters.
 
Market Place Filtering
Advanced Filters also work on the marketplace – for example, if you want to see all cards that you do not own yet, you can use 'copies<1' to find out:

 
Filter Examples
class:Dragon                          Finding dragons for the Draconic Desolation achievement
class:Female                           What works with Girl Power?
charges=3 & copies>1          Something you might want to sell on the market
charges=3 & copies>4          Something you might want to Reforge
charges<3 & copies>1          All cards not fully charged, but you have additional copy, so you might want to apply it
rarity>2                                To see only rare and ultra-rare cards

Suggest your best filters in the comments, so we may add them to the examples!

HOW TO SUPPORT


Not so rarely new Skylords ask a simple question on Discord or the forums: How can I help? As we all wish for more players, there are things you can do to help to make Skylords Reborn succeed. Skylords Reborn can be supported through many actions, some of them are just two minutes for some clicks, others are a long-term commitment.
Important Disclaimer: This guide does not rank people by importance - these are suggestions how to help the game succeed, ranked by their needed involvement level. Also, you don't have to “climb this ladder” to become part of the Skylords Reborn team.
Hopefully some of these suggestions speak to you, and inspire you to take some action:

 
 SOLDIER
Quick Tier - the most helpful clicks to settle in
Help drive the most essential metric by subscribing to the official Skylords YouTube channel, and like the trailer. Join the Skylords Discord to stay on top of news, and help build an enjoyable community. Subscribe to the other official Skylords Reborn socials: Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and TikTok.  CHAMPION
Basic Tier - become a part of the community
Subscribe to BattleForge content creators, and like their videos if you enjoy them. Participate in events - not just for prizes, but to support event hosts. Make sure beginners are welcomed properly: Answer questions, and play multiplayer maps with them. Read the monthly Community Update and help spread correct information about the state of the project. Interact with forum posts or Discord messages through likes, emoticons etc. - the creators will appreciate that. Make a proper bug report when you encounter a bug or crash. This rarely happens, but: report rule violations, either ingame or on the #contact-staff Discord channel. Suggest the game to people you know that will enjoy a RTS/TCG game, but make sure you coordinate with the Skylords team Outreach Coordinator when contacting high profile people or outlets.  HERO
Dedicated Tier - invest some time to make the Skylords experience better
Accompany some Twitch streamers, while the community is still small, one viewer more or less makes a huge difference. Participate in the votes or share your decks on the SMJ community deck section. Become an educator: Help others understand core concepts like void power or faction mechanics, and give advice on expert maps on the ingame strategy channel or on the deckbuilding channel on Discord. Write a beginner guide or a deck building/strategy guide on the forum, or a more general one like the one you are reading right now. Create something: make a painting, a graphic, a short clip, a song, a text, a meme, an animated GIF or just some cookies, and share it in the art, video or meme channel. Become a sponsor of a community contest/event to beef up its prize pool. Join the discussion and give quality feedback on the Balance Discord.
   SKYLORD
 Invested Tier - halfway down the rabbit hole
Become a Contributor: There are several roles that don't require you to join the team, like Map Tester, Translator, Proofreader, Art Critique, or Internal Tester. Get involved into more detail-focussed Discords, like lore, descriptions, mapmaking, or rPvE. Help maintain the Skylords Reborn Wiki by either adding or updating articles. Create an enjoyable community map. Host an event for other Skylords to enjoy, be it PvE, PvP or something else. Contribute to Skylords Open Source projects. Become a content creator on YouTube, or start to stream the game on Twitch.  

Maybe this rather long list inspired you to help in one way or another. 
As a final suggestion: If you have free resources, you might be interested in joining the Skylords Reborn team and directly work on the game to make it better! Please be aware that almost everybody thinks “I'm not good enough” at first. Don't let that stop you! There are loads of different positions for nearly every skill set.

A special thanks goes out to @Kubik, who made this awesome feature possible and keeps on developing more features for it.

Stream video has been published, and all prizes have been sent out.
Thanks again to all that played a role - participants, jurors, organizers, stream-hosts, …

This concludes all business concerning the Card Design Contest #2.

Kind of shocked that my priestess of despair only got silver, I was so proud of it, but oh well. But to see that not a single one made it to platinum makes me feel slightly better. I am still very grateful for the event so thanks to all the people organizing it and the judges who had to go through so many ideas. I hope to see this event again in the future, which I believe is very likely considering it was the second contest already. I am already working on my new idea for the next time. :D

Welcome to the 2nd Official Card Design Contest!

"Only that which dreamt of or written about by mortals,
only that which had journeyed into the realm of legend,
could be created." (Lands and Regions, page 3)
 
In this contest, you are called to submit your idea for a new card,
which will be presented to high-ranking jurors for judgement.
THE CONTEST HAS ENDED. RESULTS SEE BELOW.


The jurors for the contest will be @RadicalX, @WindHunter and @Bini Inibitor – for those who don't know, these are the SR team members with real decision-making power about what makes the cut for new content.
Important note: Of course there is no obligation for the SR Team to make any entry into a real card – but a good idea that really fits into the game has a lot of power. All card designs will be heard, seen and judged anonymously and without any barrier of entry.  
The contest begins with the publication of this post and ends on the 25th of October 2025, 23:59 CET. Submit your entry…
as a comment on this thread, through Discord (direct message to Kapo#0116), or a Forum direct message (to @Kapo). I will anonymize the entries, present them to the jury, and after a voting and discussion phase, the grand winners will be revealed on a stream 16th of November. Additionally, all other winners and entries will be revealed here on the forums.
As seen in the video, we mean serious business: Three entries of the first card design contest made it into the game, and the designers valued the creativity and ideas of several other entries. You might want to check out the previous card design contest for inspiration.
 
                    
 

Rules:
You are limited to a maximum of TWO entries - if you win on both, you will receive the higher prize. In case you submit more than two, the last two received entries will enter the contest (unless you state otherwise)
  Your idea must be a NEW card idea/concept  (NOT a rework of an already existing card or a Promo card), be aware that this the main criterion for jurors 
  ONE of your submissions may be a Meme card, but be advised that the winners on the Meme tier are highly limited and not the focus of this contest 
  Units and buildings MUST be fitting for an already existing model (this is a technical limitation, but re-texturing can do wonders)
  Unfortunately, we also can't allow for Fire/Frost or Rainbow-cards (or any other outside the known factions, due to technical and/or conceptual limitations)
  You are asked to create the fully upgraded version (see below: Things you don't need to add)
  By entering, you are giving away your card idea with permission to modify it  – the final design may differ from your submission here, and may be used in any way the team sees fit
  You are asked to use the following template:  
 
Things you don't need to add or care about:
Hit points and attack-numbers Rarity Upgrade Levels (submit a fully upgraded design) Number of Charges Artwork for the card (you may provide one, but this does not affect your winning chance) At the end of the contest, we may make a compilation of the entries – by participating, you automatically agree to be included in that.
 
Suggestions:
In preparation for this contest, we asked the jurors to drop some hints on what is needed for a good design.
You might not want to create a new super-powerful card, but a card that's interesting. Maybe it fills a special niche case in a faction (like Burning Spears), or it is special or meme-worthy (like Easter Egg). Balance is important! The best cards are useful, fill essential roles, and are not overpowered. If you design a T1 or T2 card, think about PvP implications. You might want to check out the first card design contest and its entries to be on top of previous, already submitted ideas. Fit the card to the faction: Think about the intentional strengths and weaknesses of each faction. Potentially, you see an extremely missing card in an arsenal, but that could be part of that faction's design. Also, breaking core rules of the game requires a very, very, very good reason. For both topics, see: Design Philosophy Document. You are allowed to submit a legendary (neutral) card, but please note those are much harder to design and balance properly. You may present some optical aid to the jurors: On https://smj.cards/creator, you can easily create your own card-mockup: 
                      
(But please be aware, even in AI image generating times, a cool presentation will not help you win. It's the idea that counts!)



Voting Criteria and Prize Tiers:
PLATINUM TIER
Platinum tier are creations that will actively be considered to be implemented into the game. They must not be all-around perfect, since someone who is not on the SR team is unaware of all the steps required when implementing cards. Platinum entries are cool, captivating and would be a great addition to the game.
Platinum tier winners will win a low-grade promo of choice (e.g., Fallen Skyelf, Lyrish Knight or Rogan Kayle) or Ultra-Rare of their choice of similar value (Infect, Forest Elder etc.). Should your card someday make it into the game, you will get a copy for your own collection.
 
GOLD TIER
Gold tier suggestions are cool and interesting suggestions, but are lacking significantly in ONE (but only one!) way:
Unbalanced design with no way to repair that Clearly impossible to implement  Too niche to be worth the implementation Not fitting for any faction or into the game Not really a fitting, existing model in the game Too draining on SR team resources etc. Gold tier winners will win two booster-packs.
 
SILVER TIER
Silver Tier suggestions are solid suggestions, but are lacking in more than one way to make it into the game. For examples of what could cause issues, see the mentioned list above.
Silver tier winners will win a booster-pack.
 
  MEME TIER
While it is not the focus of the contest, even fierce Skylords value some funny memes. Very few selected, exceptional meme entries will be presented as Meme tier winners.
Meme tier winners will win a Mini Booster and a Juice Tank.
          

We are looking forward to your designs! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Best regards,
Kapo and the Skylords Reborn Team.

 

The materials have been submitted to the jurors. They will first solo judge everything, and then convene on a meeting to decide the tiers for each entry. 
If any of you encounter a mistake on my end, there is still room for corrections, but material is sealed for now. 🦭

The entry collection has ended, I added both entries of Solumen and the additional entry of Obekidi, plus what I have recieved on Discord. Make sure:
Discord and Forum DM entries have recieved a confirmation ("Thanks ... has been entered.... etc.") Forum Post here: That your name appears in the list above I posted above. Because this was a question multiple times: I will not post a list of participants for the DMs, its ment to be confident and there is no way for me to keep that while posting a list of names.
There is a short grace period now where you can check if everything is in order and your entry has been recieved, then I submit the package to the jurors.

Thanks to everyone who entered, many have put loads of thoughts and work into their entries!

Hey guys,

I just collected all entries from this thread up to this point. Those who submitted via DM or Discord, get a confirmation message - for the forum, that's a hard thing to do. So to make some form of confirmation possible, here is the list of peoples names (not card names) that I have in my overview sheet:
If you submitted two times, your name should appear two times. If you find something missing, please reach out here, forum DM or Discord.

Also,

Discord confirmations are all sent.

Edit: Forum DM confirmations are all sent
If you dont have confirmation, reach out! 

Use the last hours wisely, the submission deadline has not reached yet!

This is mine hope everyone thinks the same way

Technically...  he is saying low-quality entries now have a better chance than before.

update:
- removed Ability 5 Slot from the creator modifiers to avoid confusion (was put in place to be able to write in a 5th line when recreating long card upgrade texts)
- added card preset option to the creator, with which it is possible to automatically preset all relevant modifiers:
while there is an active card preset (name visible in the card preset input field), changing upgrade/charges while the preset is a non-promo card will result in the automatic adjustment of relevant modifiers. if the preset is a promo card and the upgrade/charges are changed or any modifier are changed while any preset card is selected will result in you being able to adjust the image from what it was set to and the modifiers not changing automatically anymore.
