TCG Pile is a spreadsheet-style app built specifically for Magic: The Gathering players. It helps you track your collection, manage trades, build decks, and keep up with live card prices — all in one place.

Think of it as a smarter version of a Google Sheet: it autocompletes card names, pulls live market prices, tracks price changes over time, and lets you share your sell list with a public link.

It works on desktop and mobile, and you can start using it for free — no credit card required.

Head to the Sign up page and create an account with your email and a password. After verifying your email, you're ready to go.

Once signed in, you'll land on your Collection page — an empty spreadsheet waiting for your first cards.

There are three ways to add cards:

1. Type a name — Click an empty cell in the Name column, start typing, and pick a card from the autocomplete dropdown. The app uses Scryfall to find exact printings with set, collector number, and current price.
2. Paste a list — Copy a decklist or spreadsheet rows from anywhere (Google Sheets, Moxfield, Archidekt, a text file) and paste directly into the grid. The app detects the format automatically and resolves each card name.
3. Add button — On mobile, tap the + button to open the card search sheet with autocomplete.

The left sidebar is your main navigation. It links to all the major sections:

• Inventory — your card collection
• Missing Cards — cards you want but don't own yet
• Buy List — your shopping list
• Sell List — cards you're offering for sale or trade
• Decks — your deck lists
• Analytics — collection value insights Pro
• Lending — borrow and lend cards between friends Pro

Below those, you'll find links to Plans, Docs (this page), Contact, Updates, and Settings.

On desktop, the sidebar can be collapsed to a narrow icon strip by clicking the collapse arrow at the top. On mobile, it opens as an overlay from the header menu.

The Collection is the core of TCG Pile. It's a spreadsheet grid powered by AG Grid where each row is a card in your collection. Every card tracks:

• Quantity, condition, language, finish (foil, etched, nonfoil)
• Whether it's signed or altered
• Live market price (updated daily from Scryfall)
• Price paid Pro
• Custom notes

A summary bar at the bottom shows your total card count and market value for the active sheet.

Click an empty row's Name cell and start typing. An autocomplete dropdown appears showing matching cards from Scryfall, grouped by printing. Each result shows the set name, collector number, and current market price.

Select a result and the row fills in automatically — name, set, prices, and image. You can then adjust quantity, condition, language, and finish as needed.

To add multiple rows at once, right-click and choose Insert row above or Insert row below.

Double-click any editable cell to modify it. Most columns support inline editing:

• Quantity — type a number
• Condition — dropdown: Mint, Near Mint, Excellent, Good, Light Play, Played, Poor
• Language — dropdown with 10+ supported languages
• Finish — dropdown: Nonfoil, Foil, Etched
• Signed / Altered — checkbox toggle
• Edition — click to switch printings (same card, different set)
• Notes — free text field

To delete rows, select them and press Delete or right-click and choose Delete. You can undo any change with Ctrl+Z (or Cmd+Z on Mac).

There are two ways to bring cards in: the Import button in the toolbar (opens a dialog where you can paste text or upload a CSV file, preview the matched cards, and confirm), or pasting directly into the grid with Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V on Mac). Either way, TCG Pile auto-detects the format.

Decklist Format

Paste a standard decklist. Quantity, card name, and optionally set code and collector number. Section headers like Deck, Sideboard, or Commander are automatically handled, including MTG Arena exports (with foil markers like *F*) and MTGO-style SB: sideboard prefixes.

4 Lightning Bolt
2x Counterspell (MH2) 267
1 Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer
3 Fatal Push (2XM) 93

CSV Files & App Exports

Upload or paste CSV exports from other collection apps — Moxfield, Deckbox, ManaBox, Dragon Shield, Archidekt, TCGPlayer, MTGGoldfish, and generic CSV/TSV files with a header row. Columns like quantity, set, collector number, condition, language, foil, and purchase price are mapped automatically, so your card details carry over. Comma, semicolon, and tab-separated files all work.

Spreadsheet Format

Copy rows from Google Sheets, Excel, or any spreadsheet. Columns are auto-mapped: the integer column becomes quantity, the text column becomes the card name, and an optional third column is the set code.

Full Grid Paste

Copy multiple columns from another grid or spreadsheet with headers matching your column names. Supported fields: name, quantity, wanted_qty, price_paid, condition, language, finish, notes.

How It Works

• Each card name is resolved against Scryfall's database.
• If a set code and collector number are included, the exact printing is matched.
• Otherwise, the most recent printing is used.
• Double-faced cards are matched automatically — paste Delver of Secrets and it finds the full card.

If something goes wrong, Ctrl+Z (or Cmd+Z) undoes the entire paste operation instantly.

The Scan button (camera icon) in the Collection toolbar lets you add physical cards with your camera. Line a card up inside the on-screen frame and it is recognized automatically — no photo button to press. Each recognized card lands in a tray at the bottom, where you can adjust quantity, toggle foil, switch the printing if several editions share the same artwork, or remove mistakes. When you're done, one tap adds everything to your collection.

• Recognition runs entirely on your device — scan as many cards as you like.
• Scan a card, set it aside, scan the next: quantities stack automatically when you scan another copy.
• Good, even lighting and filling the frame with the card give the best results. Heavy glare on foils can make recognition harder.
• The first scan downloads a small card-fingerprint database (a few MB); after that it is cached.

Sheets let you organize your collection into separate tabs — for example, by format, binder, storage box, or however you like.

• The free tier includes 1 sheet. Pro unlocks unlimited sheets.
• Click the + button in the tab bar to create a new sheet.
• Double-click a tab to rename it. Right-click for more options: rename, change color, copy column layout from another sheet, or delete.
• Drag rows between sheets by grabbing a row and hovering over a different sheet tab.
• The All tab (far right) shows a combined read-only view of all sheets.

Sheets work the same way in the Collection, Buy List, and Sell List.

Pro feature. Pro Any collection sheet can be shown as a portfolio instead of a grid — built for speculation, where what matters is what you paid, what it's worth now, and the gap between the two. On a free account the option is still there and opens a live preview with sample data, so you can see exactly what you'd get.

Right-click a sheet tab and choose View as portfolio. The same cards are still there; only the presentation changes, and you can switch back at any time. A portfolio sheet shows:

• Total value with your all-time profit or loss in cash and percent.
• A value-over-time chart with what you invested drawn alongside it, over 7 days to all time.
• Today's biggest gainers and losers in the sheet.
• Allocation by card, set, or rarity, so you can see concentration at a glance.
• Every position with quantity, average cost, current price and return.

Cost basis is automatic. Cards added to a portfolio sheet record the current market price as their price paid, so profit works without any data entry. It stays editable — set the real price you paid in the Price Paid column whenever it differs, and buying the same card more than once at different prices simply averages.

Because prices are recorded daily per card, a brand-new portfolio still draws a full chart: dates before you created the sheet are estimated from your current holdings and shown as a dashed line.

Compare against the market. Under the chart you can plot your portfolio against one of three indices built from the same daily price data: Staples (the most-played tournament cards), Reserved List, and Blue chips (the most valuable printings). Both lines are rebased to 100 at the start of the window, so the gap between them is how much you beat or trailed the market by.

Selling. Tap a position and choose Sell to close all or part of it. The oldest copies go first, so profit is calculated against what you actually paid for those specific copies. Sold cards leave the sheet and move to Closed positions, which tracks proceeds, cost and realized profit separately from your open holdings — money banked and paper gains never get mixed together.

Price alerts. From the same dialog you can be notified when a card rises to a target, drops to a buy price, or moves by a percentage over 1 to 90 days. Card prices update once a day, so alerts are checked after each daily sync and arrive in your notifications.

Sharing. Press Share to publish a read-only public page for the portfolio. By default visitors see your percentage returns and holdings but not what your collection is worth — turn on Show amounts publicly if you want cash figures on the page too. You can rotate the link or stop sharing whenever you like.

Every grid comes with a rich set of columns. You can show, hide, reorder, and resize them to fit your workflow.

Click the Columns icon in the toolbar to toggle column visibility. Drag column headers to reorder them. Double-click a column border to auto-size it.

Your column layout is saved automatically. You can choose between per-sheet layouts (each sheet remembers its own columns) or a shared layout (all sheets use the same columns) in Settings.

Common columns in the Collection grid:

Click a column header to sort ascending/descending. Hold Shift and click another header for multi-column sorting.

Hover over a column header to reveal the filter icon. Click it to open the column filter — text search, number range, or value selection depending on the column type.

On mobile, tap the filter button in the toolbar to open a full-screen filter sheet. Active filters appear as chips below the toolbar for quick removal.

Pro users can export their grid data to CSV using the download button in the toolbar. The export includes all visible columns in the currently active sheet.

TCG Pile pulls card prices daily from Scryfall, which aggregates data from TCGPlayer (USD) and Cardmarket (EUR).

When you add a card, its market price appears automatically. Prices update once per day via a background sync. The price shown depends on the card's finish — foil and etched cards use their respective foil prices.

All price data is always free — it's not a Pro-only feature. Everyone gets live market prices.

Go to Settings → Preferences and choose your preferred currency: USD (TCGPlayer) or EUR (Cardmarket).

Not every card has prices in both currencies. When a price is missing in your chosen currency, the app can show a converted estimate from the other currency. You can enable this in Settings under "Show converted prices when native unavailable."

You can also control whether converted prices are included in sheet totals and collection totals separately.

The grid includes optional 1d, 7d, 30d, and 365d price change columns. These show how much a card's market price has moved over that period, in both absolute value and percentage.

Price changes are color-coded: green for increases, red for decreases. This helps you spot trending cards at a glance.

Every card has its own page with a daily price history chart, current prices for each finish in both currencies, 1d / 1w / 1m / 1y change indicators, and a list of every other printing — with badges showing which ones you already own.

On desktop, hover a card name in any grid and click the eye icon to open its page. On mobile, tap a card — the price chart and change indicators are embedded right in the card detail panel.

Prices are recorded once per day, so charts grow over time — the further back a card has been tracked, the richer its history.

The Buy List is your shopping list for cards you want to acquire. It uses the same spreadsheet grid as the Collection — autocomplete, paste import, filtering, sorting, sheets, and column customization all work the same way.

You can share your buy list with a public link, just like the sell list.

When you visit someone else's public sell list while logged in, cards that match your buy list are automatically highlighted with a shopping cart icon. This makes it easy to spot what you need in someone else's binder.

In Settings → Preferences, you can choose the matching mode:

• Loose — matches by card name only
• Strict — matches by name + condition + language + finish
• Both — shows all name matches, tagging the exact ones (e.g. "9 cards you want, 3 exact")

The Sell List is where you list cards you're willing to sell or trade. Like the Collection, it's a spreadsheet grid with all the same features — plus a few extras:

• Asking Price — set your own price per card
• Status — mark cards as Sold or Reserved (partial quantities supported)
• Public sharing — generate a link others can browse
• Contact info — attach your contact details to the shared page

Right-click a card and choose Mark as Sold or Mark as Reserved.

If you have multiple copies (e.g., 3x Lightning Bolt), a quantity picker appears so you can mark exactly how many are sold or reserved — for example, "2 of 3 Sold."

Sold cards appear with a strikethrough on the name and a red status badge. Partially sold cards show an amber name and a badge like "2/3 Sold." The same visual indicators appear on your public share page.

To clear a status, right-click and choose Clear Status.

On mobile, open the card detail sheet (tap a row) and use the sold/reserved steppers at the bottom.

Click the Share button in the toolbar to open share settings. Here you can:

1. Toggle the share link on/off
2. Choose to share all sheets or only specific sheets
3. Copy the public link to your clipboard
4. Refresh the share token if you want to invalidate the old link

The public page shows your cards in a photo grid with set info, condition badges, asking prices, and sold/reserved status. Visitors who are logged in and have a buy list will see matching cards highlighted.

Pro users can also see visitor statistics — how many times the link was viewed, unique visitors, and last visit date.

You can attach contact details to your shared trade binder: email, phone number, and/or WhatsApp number (with country prefix). These appear on the public page so interested traders can reach you.

You can also add notes visible only on the public page — useful for things like "Based in Madrid, meet-ups OK" or "Ships within EU only."

When a buyer contacts you after seeing your Sell List — via WhatsApp, Discord, or any other channel — you can create an Order Sheet to organize the sale. Order Sheets let you:

• Pick specific cards from your Sell List for a particular buyer
• Reserve those cards automatically (locks inventory)
• Generate a shareable link with an invoice-like view of the order
• Store the buyer's name and WhatsApp for quick contact

Access Order Sheets from the Orders tab in your Sell List.

Click Create Order in the Orders tab. A new order is created in Draft status. You can then:

1. Edit the order name and buyer details (name + WhatsApp) using the pencil icon
2. Click Add Cards to open the card picker — it shows all your available Sell List items with a search bar and quantity stepper
3. Cards added to an order are automatically marked as Reserved in your Sell List

If the seller has Round Up Prices enabled in Sell List share settings, market prices in orders are rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Free accounts can have up to 3 active order sheets. Pro users get unlimited orders.

Each order has its own unique share link. Click the copy icon on any order to copy the link to your clipboard.

To make the link accessible to the buyer, click Share to move the order from Draft to Active status. Draft orders are not visible on the public page.

The public page shows an invoice-like view with your profile, card thumbnails, set symbols, condition/language/finish badges, quantities, prices, and a grand total. Your contact information (from Sell List share settings) is displayed at the bottom.

If you need to invalidate a link, use Refresh Link to generate a new token — the old link will stop working.

Orders follow this status flow:

• Draft — the order is being prepared; not yet visible on the public link
• Active — shared with the buyer; cards remain reserved
• Completed — the sale is done; reserved quantities move to sold
• Cancelled — the order is cancelled; reserved quantities are released back to available

Completing or cancelling an order is permanent — you'll be asked to confirm. You can delete an order at any time (reserved quantities are released).

Set Collection lets you track your progress toward completing MTG sets or building custom card collections. Each collection is displayed in the same spreadsheet grid used across the app, with completion stats shown at the bottom.

You can create multiple collections using sheet tabs at the bottom of the page — one per set or custom goal.

There are two types of collections:

• Track a Set — pick any physical MTG set from a searchable list. The grid is automatically populated with every card in that set, sorted by collector number. No manual entry needed.
• Custom Collection — start with an empty grid and add cards manually. Useful for goals like "all Lightning Bolt printings" or "every Eldrazi creature."

When creating a set-based collection, you choose how ownership is tracked:

• Auto-sync — cards you own in your main Collection are automatically marked as owned. No manual work required; it updates every time the page loads.
• Manual — check off cards yourself using the owned checkbox. Useful if you want to track a separate copy of a set (e.g., a sealed collection).

Custom collections always use manual tracking.

A stats bar at the bottom of the grid shows your completion progress:

• Progress bar — visual indicator with owned count, total, and percentage
• Owned Value — total market value of cards you own
• Remaining Cost — estimated cost to complete the collection

The Deck Builder lets you create, edit, and manage MTG decks. Each deck has a name, format tag, archetype tag, and sections for Mainboard, Sideboard, and Commander.

Free users can create up to 3 decks. Pro unlocks up to 50 decks.

The deck list page shows all your decks with their card count, total cost, and last modified date.

Open a deck and use the search bar to find cards. Type a name, select a result, and it gets added to the appropriate section. Use the + and - buttons to adjust quantities.

The deck editor tracks your collection ownership:

• Green — you own enough copies
• Amber — you own some but not enough
• Red — you don't own any copies

Pro users can send all missing cards directly to the Buy List with one click.

Toggle between two views:

• List View — compact text list grouped by card type, with a mana curve chart
• Visual View — card images arranged in a grid, showing artwork

Import — paste a decklist (e.g., from Arena, MTGO, or any deckbuilding site) into the import dialog. The app resolves card names and adds them to the deck.

Export — copy the decklist to your clipboard as text, or download it as a .txt file. The export format is compatible with Arena, MTGO, and other tools.

Each deck has a public/private toggle. Public decks get a share link that anyone can view. The public page shows the full card list, total cost, mana curve, and card images.

Set a username in Settings → Account to get a public profile at tcgpile.com/u/your-username. Your profile shows:

• Display name
• Collection card count (if sharing is enabled)
• Links to your public sell list, buy list, and decks

Add friends by searching their username. Once both users have accepted the friend request, you can view each other's shared collections (if sharing is enabled).

In Settings → Account, you control what friends can see:

• None — friends can't see your collection
• All sheets — friends see everything
• Specific sheets — choose which sheets are visible
• Search only — friends can search by card name but can't browse freely

When browsing a friend's collection, you can see their cards but not edit anything.

Following is a lightweight, one-way alternative to friends — no request or approval needed. Follow anyone to get quick access to their store, buy list, and public decks from your Following page. Unlike friends, following doesn't grant collection access or lending.

The Community page is a trader directory for discovering other collectors. Search by name, filter by location, and sort by collection size or how many cards match your wants. When you have a buy list, users are tagged with how many of your wanted cards they have for sale (with exact edition/condition matches highlighted).

You control your visibility in Settings: appear to everyone, friends of friends, or nobody. You can also set a bio and location shown on your public profile.

The Lending system lets you borrow and lend cards between friends. It's a Pro feature for both parties.Pro

You can send requests, approve or decline incoming requests, track what's out on loan, and mark cards as returned.

When viewing a friend's collection, you can click a card to send a lending request. Specify how many copies you need and optionally add a message. The request goes to the card owner for approval.

You can also send requests from the Deck Builder — when you see missing cards that a friend owns, you can request to borrow them.

The Lending page has two tabs:

• Received — requests others have sent to you. Approve, decline, or counteroffer with a different quantity.
• Sent — requests you've made. Track their status (pending, approved, declined).

Approved loans appear as active until the borrower marks them as returned. You get notifications for new requests, approvals, and returns.

• Language — English or Spanish
• Theme — Pile (default), Light, Dark, System, plus 5 exclusive Pro themes
• Currency — USD (TCGPlayer) or EUR (Cardmarket)
• Default condition & language — pre-fill new cards with your preferred defaults
• Converted prices — show estimated prices when your currency is unavailable, and control whether they're included in totals
• Card images on hover — show card artwork when hovering over the name or set columns
• Column layout mode — per-sheet (each sheet has its own column layout) or shared (all sheets use the same layout)
• Buy list matching — loose (name only) or strict (name + condition + language + finish)

• Display name — shown on your profile and shared pages
• Username — your unique URL identifier (tcgpile.com/u/username)
• Email — update your email (requires verification)
• Password — change your password
• Friend sharing — control what friends can see in your collection
• Delete account — permanently remove your account and all data

TCG Pile comes with 3 base themes available to everyone:

• Pile — the default dark theme
• Light — clean light mode
• Dark — pure dark mode

Pro subscribers unlock 5 additional themes: Plum, Jade, Crimson, Neon, and Aurora. You can also choose System to match your OS light/dark preference.

The TCGPile Companion is a free Chrome extension that connects your tcgpile collection to the sites you already use: Cardmarket, TCGPlayer, MTGStocks, MTGGoldfish, mtgdecks.net, and tcdecks.net.

It shows which cards you own while you browse, lets you import decks with one click, bulk-add cards from Cardmarket purchases, and highlights Reserved List cards across all supported sites.

The extension is free to install and deck import, Reserved List badges, quick-add, filter presets, and the portfolio dashboard work on any account. A few features — owned badges, price comparison, and Cardmarket order import — require Pro.Pro

To get started, install the extension from the Chrome Web Store and visit tcgpile.com while logged in. The extension picks up your session automatically — no separate login needed.

Owned badges are a Pro feature.Pro

When you visit a card page on Cardmarket, TCGPlayer, or MTGStocks, the extension shows a badge below the card name telling you how many copies you own, which printings you have, and whether the card is in your trade binder or want list.

On deck pages (MTGGoldfish, mtgdecks.net, tcdecks.net), each card in the decklist gets a colored badge:

Quick-add buttons (+ Collection and + Buylist) let you add cards to your collection or buy list directly from any supported card page, with sheet selection.

On deck pages across MTGGoldfish, mtgdecks.net, and tcdecks.net, a floating Import to tcgpile button appears in the bottom-right corner.

One click imports the full deck (mainboard + sideboard) into your My Decks on tcgpile. The format, source URL, and all card quantities are preserved. After import, the button turns green and links directly to your new deck.

Cardmarket order import is a Pro feature.Pro

After receiving a Cardmarket order, visit the order page and the extension shows an Import to tcgpile button. Clicking it opens a modal where you can review every card in the order before importing.

The modal shows quantity, name, set, collector number, condition, language, foil status, and price paid — all pre-filled from the order page. You can select which sheet each card goes to, edit any field, and uncheck cards you don't want to import.

Cards are imported in batches with a progress bar showing real-time status. Each row turns green as it completes. The price you paid is saved to your collection for profit/loss tracking.

On Cardmarket, TCGPlayer, MTGStocks, and mtgdecks.net, cards on the Reserved List are tagged with a golden RL badge. The extension carries a built-in database of all ~800 Reserved List cards for instant O(1) lookups — no API calls needed.

Click the extension icon to open the popup with three tabs:

Your settings sync across browsers via your tcgpile account.

The free tier is generous and fully functional:

There are no ads, and price data is never paywalled. You can use the app indefinitely on the free tier.

Pro costs €2.99/month or €29.99/year (save 16%). It includes everything in Free, plus:

If you cancel Pro, your data stays — you just lose access to Pro features and fall back to free-tier limits.
