The card types that will be matched by the filter criteria can be chosen in a number of ways:
Selecting an entry from the drop down list makes it easy to select a single type.
When typing into the drop down list, the text is automatically checked for correctness. If there
are any typed items that do not match an entry in the drop down list an error icon is displayed.
Clicking on the error icon it will offer choices of close matches to select. Choosing one of the
matches will replace the incorrect text with the chosen item.
The Custom List dialog box allows the selecting of any number of items that appear in the drop down list. To select an entry check the check box next to its name. After pressing the OK button the selected entries will appear as a comma separated list in the drop down control.
Checking the the Restrict to selected sub-types check box allows additional filtering by sub-types as well.
The Sub-type list dialog box lets you select sub types for each of the various basic types from a tree.
When a creature type is selected in the types control, the card filter criteria can be further restricted by creature specific attributes. The attributes combo box allows creature cards to be matched by their abilities which can be chosen in a number of ways (similar to the way types are selected):
In addition the creature's power and toughness can be used to filter them. The power and toughness rage selected is inclusive. For example a power range of between 0 and 2 means all creatures with a power of 0, 1 or 2 will be shown (* is the same as 0 for the purposes of the filter).
