My Library: The MTG Collection Tracker Built Into TurnZero HQ

Every card you own, in one place, whether it's built into a deck, scanned into a pile, or just typed in from memory — with total value, folders, and nightly-synced pricing. It's the collection side of the same account that already tracks your decks and your games.

The problem it solves

Most players' actual collection lives split across three places: whatever's built into their decks, whatever they've scanned or catalogued somewhere, and a mental note about the loose cards sitting in a box that aren't in any deck at all. None of those three add up to an answer for "how many of these do I actually own" or "what is all of this worth" without cross-referencing by hand.

My Library rolls all three into one inventory automatically, without asking you to import your decks into a separate tracker or keep two apps in sync.

How cards get in

There's no single "add everything" step — My Library is built from three sources that already exist in your account, plus one you fill in by hand:

It's already in a deck

Any card sitting in one of your saved decks — active or archived, in the 99 or on the bench — counts toward your library automatically. There's nothing to import twice.

Scan a pile with your camera

Point the scanner at a stack of cards with no deck selected and confirmed cards land in your library as scanned copies, not in a decklist. That's the same recognition TurnZero HQ uses to scan cards straight into a deck, aimed at a different destination.

Search and log a loose copy

For a card you own but haven't scanned or built with, search the catalog and set how many you have. This is the one place counts are typed rather than derived, which is what lets a stepper track spares — three extra Sol Rings sitting in a box, say.

A card can be in more than one bucket at once — three copies in a deck and two more sitting loose — and the total reflects all of it without double-counting a card that shows up in two of your decks.

What it tracks

The library reports total cards and distinct cards, plus a total value split into priced and unpriced counts — so a card with no listed price is reported as unpriced rather than silently counted as worth nothing. Every card in the list shows exactly how its copies break down: how many are built into a deck, how many came from a scan, and how many are loose, so the number on screen always has an explanation behind it rather than being one undifferentiated pile.

Total & distinct cards — how much you own, and how much of it is unique

Total value — priced and unpriced counts kept apart, never averaged together

Per-card source — deck copies, scanned copies, and loose copies, broken out on every card

Which decks hold it — every deck a card appears in, including whether it's in the 99 or the sideboard

Folders

Folders group cards however you want to think about them, in one of six colors — a trade pile, cards you're considering for a future build, whatever's useful. Filing a card into a folder is purely organizational: it doesn't touch that card's count or its value, so a folder can never disagree with the totals the rest of the library reports.

Pricing

Prices sync from a nightly catalog import rather than a live lookup on every screen, so the total value figure is at most a day old. A card genuinely has no listed price fairly often, and My Library shows that as unpriced instead of guessing at a number, or worse, showing $0 and understating what the collection is actually worth.

Who this is for

Anyone who wants "what do I own and what's it worth" answered without a separate app

Players building decks from a physical collection who want the pile and the decklists in sync automatically

Anyone who's scanned or logged cards elsewhere and wants a single number that doesn't require reconciling two apps

Frequently Asked Questions

What is My Library in TurnZero HQ?

My Library is TurnZero HQ's collection tracker: one inventory of every card you have evidence of owning, pulled together from your decks, your card scans, and copies you've logged by hand. It reports total cards, distinct cards, and total collection value, and it's free to use — it isn't behind a premium tier.

How do cards get into My Library?

Three ways, and they all land in the same inventory: any card already in one of your decks counts automatically, scanning a pile of cards with no deck selected adds them as owned-but-unplayed copies, and searching the catalog lets you log loose copies by hand for anything you own but haven't scanned or built with yet.

Does My Library show what my collection is worth?

Yes. Prices sync from a nightly card catalog import, and the total is broken into priced and unpriced cards rather than guessing at cards with no listed price. A card with no price on file shows as unpriced instead of being counted as worthless — TurnZero HQ never reports a missing price as $0.

Can I organize my library into folders?

Yes. Folders are a pure grouping tool — a trade binder, a want-adjacent shelf, whatever you use them for — with six colors to tell them apart at a glance. Filing a card into a folder doesn't change its count or its value; it's purely about finding things again.

Does My Library replace a dedicated collection tracker like ManaBox or Deckbox?

For most players building and playing Commander decks, yes — it covers what they actually check: what they own, roughly what it's worth, and which deck each card is tied up in. It tracks quantity and value at the card level rather than breaking a collection out by specific printing, foil finish, or condition, and it doesn't do trading or want lists the way Deckbox does. If that granularity matters to you, pairing it with a dedicated tracker still makes sense — see our full comparison of collection tracker apps.

See your whole collection in one place.

Scan a pile, build a deck, or just log what's in the box — My Library keeps count either way.
