I'm looking for suggestions as to how to word this and for the "best" online random card search [EDIT:] for smart phones. I'd like to use The Gatherer, but don't see a random card option.


Proxy a card. (To proxy, go to scryfall.com and select "Random Card".)

The random card on Gatherer is at the bottom. Here is the link.

On my desktop, the Random Card link is up top right next to Advanced Search link. On my iPhone 7 Plus, there is no Random Card link whatsoever. I'm in need of a random card search that works on smart phones.

I can't find the random button on gatherer on my Android but I would suggest you simply bookmark the link for random search https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card ... ion=random
It works perfectly on my phone

Our URL-Shortener isn't open for "add your own URLs" yet, but we have added the various sites "Random Card":

URLSite
http://nxs.wf/rndMTGNexus Random Card
http://nxs.wf/g/rndGatherer Random Card
http://nxs.wf/s/rndScryfall Random Card


Not sure if it'll be entirely helpful for what you need, but figured I'd mention it since it's a miniurl that might fit better.
To the beaten, the broken, or the damned; the lost, and the wayward: wherever I may be, you will have a home.

Autocorrect strikes again. At least it didn't add a second "t".
