Scrollrack combines card scanning, card search, set browsing, and deck building in one app, so you stop copying card names between browser tabs and separate tools. All four work offline, so a bad connection at your local game store or airplane mode on a flight never slows you down. SCAN A CARD, SEE WHAT YOU HOLD Someone plays a card you do not know? Hold it up to your camera. Scrollrack shows the card in the app with its current price and its rulings one tap away. Add it to a deck or save it as a favorite from the same screen. Scan one card at a time, or several in a row and send them straight to a deck. Cracked a pack? Scan the cards one after another and see what they add up to. Recognition runs on your iPhone, so it works offline and your pictures never leave it. Card scanning is part of Scrollrack Plus. BUILD WHEREVER THE IDEA HITS The deck editor sits inside every part of Scrollrack, not off in its own corner. Add a card straight from a search result, a set page, your favorites, or the scanner, and keep your place in whatever you were doing. Start a deck specific search from inside the editor itself. Already have a list going in another tool? Import it directly, no rebuilding card by card. SEARCH LIKE YOU KNOW MAGIC Scryfall compatible search syntax works completely offline and covers what deck builders actually use: color identity, Oracle text, mana value, format legality. Browse results as a swipeable card stack. BUILD SEARCHES VISUALLY Never learned the syntax? Scrollrack Plus adds a visual query builder. Tap together colors, mana value, and card type, and get the exact same results, no query language required. EVERY SET, EVERY PRECON Every Magic set gets its own page with full card lists and instant filtering, no syntax needed. New sets appear the moment preview season starts. Every official Commander precon and other preconstructed deck is here too, ready to drop into your own deck editor with one tap and customize from there. CURATED LISTS, NO SPREADSHEETS REQUIRED Browse Game Changers, the Reserved List, and every Secret Lair drop in one place, without digging through forum threads or fan wikis. DECK CHECK THAT EXPLAINS ITSELF Scrollrack Plus adds Deck Check: the numbers behind any deck, in any format. See your mana curve, colors, and card types. Commander decks also get an evaluation of where the deck is strong and where it is light, measured against the archetype it plays. Archetype detection tells you what your deck is actually doing. New to deckbuilding? Every chart explains what it shows and why it matters. Built a hundred decks already? Skip straight to the numbers. Nothing gets suggested, the deck stays yours. KNOW WHAT YOUR CARDS ARE WORTH Prices in Euro and Dollar show on every card and in every deck, for every format, free forever. Deciding whether a card earns its slot in your list? See what it costs before you cut it or keep it. MAGIC, ON YOUR TERMS Toggle Paper, Arena, or MTGO cards on or off. Show or hide Universes Beyond and Un-set cards. Turn spoilers off if you would rather wait for the official reveal. You decide what counts as your Magic. SCROLLRACK PLUS Search, offline mode, set browsing, prices, and up to 7 decks are free, permanently. Scrollrack Plus adds card scanning, unlimited decks, Deck Check, and the visual query builder. Free for the first month, then the monthly price shown under In-App Purchases. Cancel anytime in iOS Settings → Subscriptions.

Scrollrack's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (4 vs 1). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.
