Not yet. They didn't preview any imagery or actual prints, so we're going to need to work out what exactly we're indexing first.
Not as a sort, but there is a filter, e.g. here's the cards with a USD foil price of at least $5:
scryfall.com/search?q=usd...
usdfoil>=5
6,850 Magic cards found where the foil USD price >= 5
scryfall.com
(is:hybrid also works!)

You can also search for hybrid costs in rules text using a regex:
scryfall.com/search?q=o%3...

(\smh is a custom symbol, the letters standing for scryfall, mana, hybrid.)
o:/\smh/
156 Magic cards found where the text matches the regex /\smh/

The @scryfall.com is:gamechanger / is:gc search it up-to-date with these changes. Expect them to trickle down to your favorite deck building sites today.

Until now. 👀
It's one of the growing pains of introducing Printed Names as a thing. Eleven uses those, as well as all of the OM1 cards that have alternate names.

You can read about that here:

Next year then :D
We don't track magic or non-magic IP, since that's not a well defined category we can outline objectively. We just track product lines like Universes Behind.

This week on TapTapConcede!

There's a never ending number of opinions about Magic out there, but we think the majority of the player base agrees, Scryfall is an invaluable resource.

So this week Graham sits down with the founder of Scryfall, Corey Csuhta for a chat! youtu.be/8D-3dbB5Sqw

Our keyword classification reflects cards that intrinsically have a keyword ability, or which perform a keyword action.

“Venture into the dungeon” is listed under section 701 Keyword Actions (as 701.49). Becoming the monarch and taking the initiative are not. That's pretty much all there is to it.
MDFC stands for Modal DFC, as in the things from Strixhaven. Then there's TDFC, for Transforming DFCs, like Werewolves.

You want not:dfc, which captures any/all types of DFC.

o:transform not:dfc not:extra
16 Magic cards found where the text includes “transform” and the cards aren't double-sided and the cards are not Scryfall “extras”

We have a Discord for supporters. We don't have a public all-access discussion board.

If you mean, say, “black border legality”, you've discovered the nebulous feature that it doesn't exist: it's tournament formats and just specifying the qualities you are and aren't looking for all the way down.
We grab them from Gatherer. :)
For comprehensive rules, this particular social media person often uses Yawgatog: yawgatog.com/resources/ma...

Also, we're obliged to note the MTG Fandom wiki is deprecated; they're at mtg.wiki now!

Rulings get managed by Wizards; we don't really add our own! There's a lot of things that can go poorly explained or be confusing, and it's enough of a task for us to just manage the cards that exist.
Also, the main problem people run into is that Arena doesn't have that little “= SPM 066” information in the footer you find for Universes Within cards. That means it's harder to find out *which* cards are equivalent to what; we've done the linking to help people find out.

It's amazing that I can't join SPM to OM1 by joining on manaCost, typeline, and text.

I'm not even doing anything complicated -- @scryfall.com and many others are making heroic efforts to align these sets.

To borrow a MaRo-ism, I'm not sure the juice is worth the squeeze.
Through the Omenpaths was more like Universes Within, which we originally treated like the reskinned cards, but Omenpaths pushed things to a point where we couldn't actually treat them like reskinned cards anymore and had to figure out a different technical way to handle them.

However, the Terminus of Return is *not* The Soul Stone. It doesn't have a flavor name, it has an altogether separate name. It has an altogether different type line and even different abilities. It's an “equivalent card”. (Which we're deciding to handle as a reprint.)
Count Dracula from VOW is *just* Sorin. It uses Sorin's name again as an indicator below the name bar, it uses Sorin's type line, it even uses Sorin's name in its text. (It would be a while later that Wizards decided to use the flavor name in printed text as well.)

Basically: it is not like the reskins. Those are reprints that have a flavor name — they have a second name bar. These are not reprints with a flavor name, they are “equivalent cards” with a different *name*, and that requires different tech to reflect correctly.
