Magic: The Gathering
Currently defined sorting profiles
This overview lists all system profiles currently defined for Magic: The Gathering, regardless of whether they are enabled in the respective feature package. Custom AND/OR rules are included as well.
Separate foil cards
Foil cards are placed separately. Other recognized cards are distributed across the remaining destination bins; errors remain in Eject/Review.
Sort by card value
Six value ranges in euros divide cards from over 50 euros down to under 1 euro or cards without a price value.
Sort by card type
Creature, Instant, Sorcery, Enchantment, and Artifact each receive their own destination bin; other card types use another bin.
Sort by mana value
The destination bins represent mana-value ranges of 0–2, 3–4, 5–6, 7–8, 9–10, and over 10.
Sort by rarity
Mythic, Rare, Uncommon, Common, and Special or unknown rarity are separated; remaining cases go to the sixth bin.
Sort by basic land type
Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest are separated. Wastes and other cases share the sixth bin.
Dynamic set sorting
During the run, sets are assigned to up to five set groups. Additional recognized cards go to the overflow bin, while Eject/Review remains separate.
Alphabetical: full stack
The first run divides an unsorted stack into A–C, D–G, H–M, N–R, S, and T–Z/Other.
Alphabetical: split A–C
The A–C intermediate stack is separated into A, B, and C.
Alphabetical: split D–G
The D–G intermediate stack is separated into D, E, F, and G.
Alphabetical: split H–M
The H–M intermediate stack is separated into H, I, J, K, L, and M.
Alphabetical: split N–R
The N–R intermediate stack is separated into N, O, P, Q, and R.
Alphabetical: split T–Z/Other
The intermediate stack is divided into T, U, V, W, X, and Y–Z/Other.
Alphabetical: split Y–Z/Other
The final intermediate stack separates Y, Z, and other initial characters.
Custom AND/OR rules
Custom sorting profiles can combine conditions with AND and OR and apply them to the destination bins.
