How can I play with custom MTG format with a shared card pool to check for legality? (mtgzone.com)

I want to play a custom MTG format where the card pool is defined by a Scryfall search and updated twice a year. For example, my search might be f:standard f:penny usd<=1.

How can I export, share, and import the list of legal cards with other people so that we can all check card legality and use a deck builder with the same pool of cards?

My first try was using this script:
Query Scryfall + dump card names out for easy import into Moxfield

❯ python scryfall_search.py -q "f:standard f:penny usd<=1" --output-as-file "$HOME/desktop/out.csv"
Running Scryfall search on f:standard f:penny usd<=1 legal:commander
Found 1,197 total matches!

But when I tried importing the output csv in Moxfield, I got a bunch of No card name found on line x errors.
