Gatherer is the official Magic: The Gathering website where the Oracle card database can be consulted. It is part of the Wizards of the Coast's magicthegathering.com website.

History

Gatherer was first made available in September 2004.[1]

The interface and basic functionality were created by web developer Doug Beyer. The Gatherer's interface graphics were created by Jen Page. It was updated in April 2009.[2]

While its functionality had been eclipsed by the community-developed Scryfall in the late 2010s, it was slow to include Universes Beyond and Alchemy's digital-only cards, making it even less attractive of a database.
