Is there a pinned topic that possibly has a bunch of websites curated for card searching? For example, https://scryfall.com/ is great, but I am not smart enough to figure out how to look for a land or artifact card that taps for more than one mana. Think like, tap for . Otherwise I use mtg card sale sites like cardkingdom.com.

I don't think there's anything exactly like what your'e looking for. There's mtgassist.com, but that site hasn't been updated in a while. Specifically for your request, though, not a lot of lands tap for more than one mana, and the only ones in are probably just Golgari Rot Farm and Twilight Mire, and I don't even know if the latter counts for what your'e looking for.

Here is the search link for Scryfall:

https://scryfall.com/search?as=grid&ord ... %7BG%7D%29

I didn't bother to limit it by card type since there are so few, but this gives an idea on the type of search.

If you're looking to pimp out an EDH / Commander deck this isn't a bad website to check out:

http://www.smileylich.com/mtg/magocracy ... cy_G1.html

It's even organized by category of what the cards are functioned to do.

As a business analyst, I really appreciate the functionality of this site. I'm also going to work on learning the syntax of scryfall, looks like it's a search language similar to excel formula syntax.

In order to make it easier for users to search for cards online, I will make this the official thread on this topic and sticky it for future reference

The section on "commander banlist history" is very enlightening. Apparently, crucible of Worlds and Kaervek the Merciless were just too OP in those primitive days...

Just regarding the mana production issue in the original question, Scryfall has a produces operator that covers this case, you don't have to search for mana symbols in text—

Lands that produce more than one type of mana: type:land produces>1

Mana dorks for a Golgari commander deck that produce at least BG: commander:bg type:creature produces:bg

Cards that produce exactly BG or BGC: (produces=bg or produces=bgc)

(The types of mana are WUBRGC, so cards can go up to produces:6. Treasure token creation gets counted as mana production.)
