## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search Magic: The Gathering cards with the full power of Scryfall query syntax, including filters for type, color, mana cost, set, rarity, and text. Prefer this over generic card databases when you need structured JSON results with full card metadata and support for complex multi-criteria queries.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid Scryfall query syntax returns found:false or an error response
- No cards matching the query returns found:false with an empty cards array
- Missing required 'q' parameter causes a 400-level error
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) blocks the request
- Overly broad queries may return truncated result sets limited by server-side pagination
