  • Card Castle

    A superb tool for organising cards.
  • It was time to get organized

    Doing a complete inventory of my cards has been a lingering pandemic project. With the money I’ve put into this game over the years, I realized it must amount to a pretty penny at this point. Then, after a buddy’s apartment was hit with a series of leaks and my first question was, “are your cards and you OK?” I figured it was time to actually knuckle down and do this.

    Then, faced with the prospect of spending even more of my time in front of a computer using Excel, I thought there had to be an easier way to scan things in. Enter CardCastle.

    Get the lighting in the living room right, throw on a football game and quickly log your cardboard crack between downs. Easy as you like.

    I’m still in the card entry phase, but cannot wait to see some of the other fancy jazz they’ve built into the system for collection management.

    What has become abundantly clear (h/t to the API with TCGPlayer’s analytics for card values) is that I am under-insured for this, and need to call my agent posthaste. Folks, we have a lot of memories, to say nothing of money, tied up in our cards. If the worst were to ever happen, the best thing you can do now to quickly rebuild is itemize your collection.

  • Easy to use, really helpful

    Quality product. Takes a little while to get lighting / distance right, and you’ll have to manually correct set/printing half the time, but an absolute lifesaver for quickly cataloguing a bunch of cards.
  • Very quick to add cards to my collection!

    Loving it so far!
  • Très bien

    Facile à utiliser et rempli de ressources, cette App est un coup de coeur pour immortaliser une collection en digital. L’option de scan est, ont va ce le dire, très très bien! Nous pouvons scanner plusieurs cartes à la fois, sans que l’app rencontre de problème. Bref, quand tu veux faire l’inventaire de ta grosse collection, c’est le best ;) ! Enjoy 👍

  • CardCastle

    Card Castle is awesome. I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time! So simple scanning and uploading into your collection. This beats thumbing through boxes of cards and binders any day!
  • Scans multiple cards

    I’ve tried many apps to scan MTG cards, some of them take a long time to enter cards and you can only scan one at a time. With card castle I found the scans take less time and you can scan multiple cards at once,
  • Scanner part of the app is fantastic…. Deck management….

    I am especially fond of the ability to scan multiple cards at a time. I wish the set edition was a little more reliable but it is easy enough to edit within the app. Would be nice to set a default so that it forced to the set you were scanning from.

    Tagging is also wonderful. I can set tags from a scan for a deck then use the tags in the website to setup my deck build. Once this is done however the deck management piece becomes very clunky. Once cards are linked into a deck they cannot be moved around between boards inside the deck which is a critical need when working with cards you may want to bring in or cards to remove as well as the Commander board is needed for the deck to be denoted legal. Removing cards from the deck and re-adding them in the correct board is tedious. At this point transparently I’d use CardCastle to scan my cards in and export them to other better deck management tools.

  • Great for Organizing Magic Cards

    It’s a super convenient app for taking quick photos of each card. It has really helped organized my cards.

    There is still room for improvement by programming the app to choose a default condition when it scans each card. Many of my cards are at least lightly played and it would have been easier to set the card condition to that status upon scanning instead of “near mint” condition.

  • Works great!

    Just started collecting magic cards again, and it’s a perfect way to scan a pack after opening and tracking your collection!

    The scanning is accurate only goes wonky when you’re doing things in poor light or tight spaces. Spread the cards out and you can scan them all very quickly. Love how they are staged first so you can add different things before confirming them!

    Seems like they’re still improving it all the time and I’m looking forward to more features!
