Choose the right workflow
Compare ways to track a Magic collection
Cardography is designed for collectors who need exact printings, set progress and portable private records. It does not try to replace deck-building or gameplay tools.
| Approach | Best at | Consider |
|---|---|---|
| Paper checklist | Simple and offline | Difficult to search, back up or distinguish many printings |
| General spreadsheet | Flexible and portable | Manual normalisation, images and set progress |
| Deck-building tool | Strong deck and format workflows | Collection inventory may be secondary to deck construction |
| Magic Cardography | Exact-printing collection, completion, wanted and CSV tools | Focused on collection management rather than deck building |
