About

Stackheim

Features

Stackheim is an unofficial Magic: The Gathering deck builder, collection manager and game tracker. It prices your collection, searches every card offline and identifies a card from the camera. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Decks, your collection, lists, the tracker, search, sets and the scanner work without an account. Create one to add friends, trade or play across phones, and to keep what you have. Until then, deleting the app loses it. DECKS • Build and edit decks, partner commanders included, in folders • Mana curve, draw odds, and Frank Karsten's land count • Roles: counts of lands, ramp, card advantage and disruption • Legality check, with each problem listed • Import a deck list and see what you already own • Playtest: draw, mulligan and play a deck out • Per-deck record: games, wins and win rate • Browse other players' public decks COLLECTION • Printing, finish, condition or proxy, signed or altered, quantity, price paid, and its box or binder • TCGplayer or Cardmarket prices in twelve currencies, synced daily • Total value, its 30-day move and the biggest movers • Import a pasted card list, or a CSV from ManaBox, Moxfield, Archidekt, Dragon Shield, TCGplayer and Deckbox, and export a CSV GAME TRACKING • Best of 1, 3 or 5 • Life totals by tap or long-press, in amounts you set • Focus mode: just the life totals • Commander damage and tax per commander • Monarch and initiative • Counters and tokens: poison, energy, radiation, treasure, food, clue and more • Mana in all six colors, per player • Shared-device layouts for 2–6 players, and a single-player mode • Multiplayer: the table joins by QR code, live on every phone • Undo and redo LISTS • Want lists and watch lists • Share with friends or by link, or keep it private TRADES Write down what you swap with a friend, or anyone, and see who is up. Trade puts what you got in your collection and takes out what you gave. CARDS AND SETS • Search with most of Scryfall's syntax • Each card's printings, faces, prices and similar cards • Price alerts by push or email • Sets: what you own of each, its value and the cost of the rest • New cards since you last looked SCANNING • Point the camera at a card to identify it • Add scanned cards to your collection, a deck or a list • Matching runs on the device; no image is uploaded HISTORY AND STATISTICS • Game history, with each game's event log • A 40-tier rank ladder, Bronze to Mythic • Friends by code or QR, and your games together FORMATS Commander • Brawl • Duel Commander • Oathbreaker • Pauper Commander • Standard • Pioneer • Modern • Pauper • Legacy • Vintage • Draft • Sealed / Prerelease • Jumpstart • Custom OFFLINE The card database downloads on first launch. Then search, sets, deck edits, games and the scanner work offline; adding to the collection or a list needs a connection. FREE AND PRO Your games, decks, collection, lists and trades are free, and they stay yours if you stop paying for Pro. Game tracking, multiplayer, search, scanning and your record are free too, with no caps. Every card shows today's price and its 30-day move, and your collection its total and movers. One price alert is free. Stackheim Pro adds price history and more than one price alert, and Insights into your games, decks and collection. Price history is every card's price chart since April 2026 and the value over time of your collection and each deck. SUBSCRIPTION Stackheim Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, sold as Stackheim Pro Monthly or Stackheim Pro Annual. It renews at the end of each period unless canceled at least 24 hours before, and can be managed or canceled at any time in your App Store account settings.
