How to search Digital-only cards in Deck Editor?
In the Deck Editor, is there a phrase that I can enter into the search to only show digital-only cards? I just want to see the Alchemy-format cards with the little "A" at the bottom center of the card in this search.

Just filter by selecting alchemy sets. It has alchemy in the set name for all of them.

There are some cards that don't belong to any listed set but those are all commander promos

If you want to include the alchemy buffs and nerfs as well, you'll need a separate search, just searching for the term "A-" which should pick all of those up.

If you're just looking for the cards and not if you have them on arena, you can do a search on scryfall of (f:timeless or f:historic) -f:vintage. The first half picks up all cards on arena and the second half excludes all paper cards except for unsets, conspiracy sets and ante cards, none of which are on arena.

You both are wrong. Setting the format to Alchemy won't show only digital-only cards, there are lots of non digital-only cards that show up. "A-" is showing only digital only card, but not the rest of them.

No one said to just set the format to alchemy. You click the "Advanced filters" button, next to the mana symbols\. Now you see the list of sets you can select? Select all the ones with Alchemy in the title and you have all the digital only cards that don't have a paper equivalent. The "A-" search is only for cards for the alchemy format that have a buff/nerf from paper cards (or sometimes cards which were already initially from an alchemy set). If you want to select only cards legal in the alchemy format, you can set the format in addition to these filters.

If you still can't find it after detailed instructions, that's on you.
