Is Scryfall affiliated with Wizards of the Coast?
No. Scryfall states on its own site that it "is not produced by or endorsed by Wizards of the Coast." It operates as an independent, unofficial fan resource for Magic: The Gathering card search. That single fact shapes how you should treat everything you see there: the search tools are Scryfall's, but the game content they display belongs to Wizards of the Coast, LLC.
What Scryfall's own disclaimer says
The footer of scryfall.com lays out the relationship in plain terms:
- Portions of Scryfall are unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Wizards of the Coast Fan Content Policy.
- The literal and graphical information presented about Magic: The Gathering — including card images and mana symbols — is copyright Wizards of the Coast, LLC.
- Scryfall is not produced by or endorsed by Wizards of the Coast.
- Third-party logos (Slack, Discord, Cash App, PayPal, Patreon) are copyright their respective owners, and Scryfall is not produced by or endorsed by those services either.
So there are two separate layers: Scryfall's own site code, layout, and tooling, versus the Magic: The Gathering card data and imagery it displays. The disclaimer addresses both.
What this means in practice
If you are using Scryfall to look up cards, build a deck list, or check syntax for a search query, the affiliation question rarely changes your behavior. It matters more when you plan to reuse something.
| You want to… | What to check |
|---|---|
| Search cards for personal use | Nothing beyond normal site use — this is what the tool is for |
| Republish card images or mana symbols | The images and symbols are Wizards of the Coast copyright, governed by the Fan Content Policy |
| Reuse Scryfall's own content | The site notes "All other content © 2026 Scryfall, LLC" — that is Scryfall's, not Wizards' |
| Assume official support | There is none; Scryfall is not endorsed by Wizards of the Coast |
The Fan Content Policy is the relevant framework for the Magic-related material. It is a Wizards of the Coast policy, not a Scryfall one, so if your use case depends on it, read the policy itself rather than relying on Scryfall's summary.
A note on card prices
Scryfall's footer also states that card prices and promotional offers "represent daily estimates and/or market values provided by our affiliates," with "absolutely no guarantee" made for any price information, and directs users to stores for final prices and details. That is a separate caveat from the affiliation question, but it comes from the same disclaimer block and is worth knowing if you are using Scryfall as a price reference.
The short version
Scryfall is an independent fan project. It is not affiliated with, produced by, or endorsed by Wizards of the Coast. The Magic: The Gathering card text, images, and mana symbols it shows are Wizards of the Coast copyright, used under the Fan Content Policy; Scryfall's own content is its own. For casual searching, none of this gets in your way — it only becomes relevant when you redistribute what you find.
