Does anyone know how to reference [cardname] in Gatherer?

Abomination of Gudul ("Abomination of Gudul deals ...")
Abrade ("Abrade deals ...")
etc.
You can specify field values for the current card using ::{field name}::. So, for example, to search the text field for the card's subtype, you would specify text = m/::subtype::/ , meaning "match any card whose subtype(s) are in its text box." The tilde (~) is an alias for ::name::.

I'll let you know if/when i go back to Standard. I hate pulling cards i can't use.
