Cards represent individual Magic: The Gathering playing cards that players could obtain and add to their collection (with a few minor exceptions).
Cards are the API's most complex object. You are encouraged to thoroughly
read this document and also vignette("layouts").

q,
unique = "cards",

scry_card_name(name, mode = c("fuzzy", "exact"), set = NULL)
scry_card_number(number, set, lang = "en")
scry_card_random(q = NULL)
A search query using the same fulltext search system that Scryfall
uses. For more information see vignette("syntax").
The strategy for omitting similar cards. The options are:
cards: Removes duplicate gameplay objects (cards that share a name and
have the same functionality). For example, if your search matches more than
one print of Pacifism, only one copy of Pacifism will be returned.
art: Returns only one copy of each unique artwork for matching cards. For
example, if your search matches more than one print of Pacifism, one card
with each different illustration for Pacifism will be returned, but any
cards that duplicate artwork already in the results will be omitted.
prints: Returns all prints for all cards matched (disables rollup). For
example, if your search matches more than one print of Pacifism, all
matching prints will be returned.
The method to sort returned cards. The options are:
name: Sort cards by name, A -> Z.
set: Sort cards by their set and collector number: AAA/#1 -> ZZZ/#999.
released: Sort cards by their release date: Newest -> Oldest.
rarity: Sort cards by their rarity: Common -> Mythic.
color: Sort cards by their color and color identity: WUBRG -> multicolor
-> colorless.
usd: Sort cards by their lowest known U.S. Dollar price: 0.01 -> highest,
NA last.
tix: Sort cards by their lowest known TIX price: 0.01 -> highest, NA
last.
eur: Sort cards by their lowest known Euro price: 0.01 -> highest, NA
last.
cmc: Sort cards by their converted mana cost: 0 -> highest.
power: Sort cards by their power: NA -> highest.
toughness: Sort cards by their toughness: NA -> highest.
edhrec: Sort cards by their EDHREC ranking: lowest -> highest.
artist: Sort cards by their front-side artist name: A -> Z.
review: Sort cards how podcasts review sets, usually color & CMC, lowest
-> highest, with Booster Fun cards at the end.
The direction to sort cards. The options are:
auto: Scryfall will automatically choose the most intuitive direction to
sort.
asc: Sort ascending (the direction of the arrows in the previous
argument).
desc: Sort descending (flip the direction of the arrows in the previous
argument).
If TRUE, extra cards (tokens, planes, etc) will be
included. Equivalent to adding include:extras to the search query.
If TRUE, cards in every language supported by
Scryfall will be included.
If TRUE, rare care variants will be included,
like the
Hairy Runesword.
The results' page number to return. If NULL (the default), all
available results will be returned.
Unique card identifier. May refer to any supported source.
Source to which id refers. Can be any one of scryfall,
multiverse, mtgo, arena, tcgplayer or cardmarket.
A string with a card's name (or part of it).
Search mode. Can be either fuzzy (name may be part of a
card's name, allows misspellings and partial words to be provided too) or
exact (name has to match exactly, case insensitive).
The three to five-letter set code.
The card's collector number for a set.
The 2-3 character language code. For more information, see
vignette("languages")
