This tutorial walks through two things that work together: bookmarking a search so you can filter your inventory with one click, and attaching a pricing rule to that bookmark so those cards get priced differently from the rest of your collection. We’ll use is:reserved (Magic’s Reserved List) as the main example, but this works with any search query Hoard supports. If you sell Pokemon, there’s a Pokemon example at the bottom too.

What you’ll end up with

  • A bookmarked chip in your Cards tab that instantly filters to a specific group of cards
  • A pricing rule that applies a custom multiplier to just those cards
  • The rule shows up in Settings > Rules so you can test it and reorder it against your other rules

Step 1: Go to the Cards tab

Open your dashboard and click the Cards tab. You’ll see your full inventory in the table view, with the search bar and any existing bookmarks below it.

The search bar accepts plain card names, set names, and Scryfall search syntax. The chips below the search bar are your bookmarked searches, each one a saved shortcut with a live count of matching cards.

Step 2: Search for Reserved List cards

Click the search bar and type is:reserved, then press Enter or click Search. Hoard sends the query to Scryfall (since is: is a Scryfall operator), gets back the list of Reserved List cards, and cross-references it against your inventory. The stats bar updates to show only your Reserved List holdings.

In this example, the seller has 26 listings of Reserved List cards worth $8,800 at their current prices, against a market value of $7,340. The +$1,459 spread means they’re priced above market on these cards overall.
If you searched for something that isn’t already bookmarked, you’ll see a Bookmark this search link on the right side of the chip bar. Click it.

A new chip appears in the bar with your query text and a live count of matching cards. The bookmark is saved, so it’ll be there next time you open the dashboard. You can bookmark as many searches as you want. If the chips overflow the bar, a “+N more” pill appears that opens the Manage Bookmarks panel where you can rename, reorder, or delete bookmarks.

Step 4: Set a pricing rule on the bookmark

Every bookmark has a small $ icon on its right edge. Click it to open the rule editor beside your Cards table, with the bookmark’s query already filled in. If the bookmark already has a rule, including a paused rule, this opens that rule for editing. Use Add filters to expand the filter controls, or Edit query to work directly with search syntax. As you change the query, the table shows the matching cards. Open Advanced Pricing for exact controls. For this example, choose Market as the price source and enter 50% for a 1.50× multiplier. Turn on Never lower a card’s current price if you want to block ordinary formula reductions when the market drops. Temporary-sale discounts apply afterward and can still lower the final target. Review the estimated pricing effects. Cards shown and cards eligible for a price change can differ, for example when a card is price-locked. Previewing neither saves a rule nor publishes prices. Click Save Rule to activate the rule, or Save as Draft to keep it paused. The editor closes and refreshes the bookmark’s pricing state; an active rule has an amber $ icon.

Step 5: Check your rule in Settings

Your new rule shows up in Settings > Rules. Rules are evaluated top to bottom, first match wins. You can drag rules to reorder their priority.

Each rule row shows:
  • The priority number and drag handle
  • The multiplier (e.g., 1.20x)
  • Whether the rule can lower prices or should hold the floor
  • How many cards the rule effectively applies to
  • Review labels when a rule is broad, overlaps other rules, or currently has no effect
The Default row at the bottom catches everything not matched by a specific rule. It uses your global pricing settings. Use Test a card on the Rules page to check a real inventory item before you trust the rule. Hoard shows the winning rule, skipped lower rules, price source, multiplier, and final target price.

How rules interact with syncs

When Hoard syncs your inventory, it runs your pricing rules in order for each card. The first rule that matches wins. So if a card matches both is:reserved (at 1.50x) and price>500 (at 1.20x), whichever rule is higher in the list takes effect. After setting up a rule, you can click Preview Prices in the toolbar to apply it immediately without waiting for the next sync. You’ll see a preview of every price change before confirming.

Tips

  • Rename your bookmarks. Double-click a bookmark in the Manage Bookmarks panel to give it a friendlier name like “Reserved List” instead of is:reserved.
  • Combine local and Scryfall syntax. Queries like is:reserved price>50 work. Hoard sends the Scryfall part to Scryfall and applies the local filters (like price) on your end.
  • Game-scoped bookmarks. If you add game:pokemon to a bookmark, it only shows in the chip bar when you’re filtered to Pokemon. Game-agnostic bookmarks always show.
  • Rule overlap. If two rules match the same card, only the higher-priority one applies. The Settings page shows overlap counts so you can spot conflicts.

Pokemon example: price alt arts at a premium

The bookmark-and-rule flow works the same for Pokemon. Here’s a practical example. Goal: Price your alt-art and illustration rare Pokemon cards at a 1.30x premium because they hold value better than regular holos.
  1. Go to the Cards tab
  2. Select Pokemon from the game dropdown
  3. Type r:"Illustration Rare" in the search bar and press Enter
  4. Click Bookmark this search on the right side of the chip bar
  5. Click the $ icon on the new bookmark
  6. Open Advanced Pricing, choose Market, enter 30%, and turn on Never lower a card’s current price
  7. Click Save Rule
You now have a pricing rule that applies specifically to your Illustration Rare Pokemon cards. You could do the same for r:"Special Art Rare", r:"Hyper Rare", or any set like set:"Surging Sparks". Other useful bookmarks:
  • game:pokemon r:"Holo Rare" — all your holo rares
  • game:pokemon v:holo cond:NM — Near Mint holofoil listings, including TCGplayer condition-suffix rows
  • game:pokemon_japan v:masterball — Pokemon Japan Master Ball Pattern cards
  • game:pokemon price>50 — your high-value Pokemon cards
  • game:pokemon set:"151" — everything from a specific set
