Collection Status

Collection Status compares the cards required by a deck with your paper Collection binders. You can see it on the quantity indicator beside each deck card and in the Collection status tab of the card dialog.

Reading the quantity indicator

• Green: Your Collection contains an exact match for the selected printing, finish, and language.
• Blue: Your Collection contains another match for the same card name with a different printing, finish, or language.
• Purple: Missing Collection copies are on your wishlists.
• Orange: Missing Collection copies are in your Tradelist binders.
• Gray: Your Collection does not contain every copy required by this deck row.

An indicator uses one color or an equal diagonal split. The first color shows the best state of the row, from green to gray. The second half shows what accounts for the remaining copies: blue for other matches, purple when your wishlists cover every missing copy, orange when your tradelists do, and gray when nothing does. A fully purple or orange indicator means your wishlists or tradelists cover every missing copy. The tooltip provides the complete counts.

Reading the Collection tooltip

Hover or focus the quantity indicator to see the number of exact matches, other matches, and missing copies allocated to that deck row. The copies on your wishlists and tradelists are listed as context: they never count as owned, and the totals can include extra copies. Exact Collection entries have a green dot in the binder list.

How copies are counted

• This deck: The card dialog shows how many copies the current deck needs for the selected card entry.
• All decklists: It also shows the total committed need for the same card name across this deck and your other decks.
• Owned across printings: Collection copies with the same card name count even when their printing, finish, or language differs from the selected deck card.
• Shared copies: When a deck contains multiple committed rows for the same card name, each physical copy is allocated to only one row. Wishlist and tradelist copies are shared out the same way.
• Spare or need more: The dialog shows spare copies when ownership covers the all-decklists need, or how many more copies are required when it does not.
• Uncommitted entries: Proxies, tokens, and maybeboard cards do not count toward committed deck need.

What is counted

• Collection and Tradelist binders: Your paper binders count, even for Arena or MTGO decklists. Arena and MTGO binders, deleted binders, and binders with Ignore for decklist collection status turned on are left out.
• Wishlists: Every wishlist you have not deleted counts. Wishlists are paper only and have no option to leave them out.
