THE REVIEW
Magic inventory that feeds deck building
ManaBox is a strong fit for a Magic player who wants an inventory to support deck decisions. Its documented CSV route is useful for keeping a separate collection record, while its single-game scope keeps the tools focused.
Games and card-language editions.
Magic: The Gathering
The official website names English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian and Japanese card search. Scanner controls include a language selector; the checked guides do not enumerate every printed edition recognized by camera. Search language, interface translation and recognition are distinct.
Scanning: confirm the printing before saving
ManaBox identifies cards by artwork. The scanner FAQ explains that shared art across reprints can need a set correction; a set lock narrows a session to a known expansion. This is particularly useful when entering cards already sorted by set.
Quick Mode accepts the first matching version. With it off, ambiguous matches require confirmation. Choose around the cards in front of you: a mixed reprint box benefits from careful edition checks, even when the card name looks right.
Full collection scanning and physical storage
The scan overview supports reviewing a session and editing quantities, finish, language, condition and purchase price. Work through one box or binder section, reconcile its quantities, then save and move on. Keep completed cards separate from the unprocessed pile.
Name inventory groups after storage locations you can maintain. A useful record should lead back to a physical card without searching every binder. When trading a copy, update that quantity before adding the replacement.
Portfolio management and deck planning
The App Store describes binders, lists, deck statistics, a simulator and a trade tool. That combination suits an inventory used for playing Magic as well as recording value. It gives you reasons to revisit the collection after the initial cataloguing project.
Distinguish owned copies from planned deck slots. Before buying a missing card, check whether a copy is already assigned elsewhere. A deck idea should not silently become another physical copy in your collection total.
CSV export and migration
ManaBox documents whole-collection and individual binder/list CSV export. Its import guide accepts fields including quantity, language, condition, purchase price and Scryfall ID. Card name plus set identification is another supported route.
Start a migration with a small file. Check identifiers and quantities after import, especially foils and reprints, before bringing in thousands of rows. Keep the original file and a dated export so errors can be traced to a specific step.
Free access and PRO pricing
ManaBox is free to download; its US iOS description lists subscriptions at $2.49 monthly or $22.99 yearly, checked October 13, 2026. The checked subscription guide explains PRO access but does not publish a precise free scan allowance.
When PRO expires, the developer says existing data stays accessible, while new binders and PRO-only features become restricted. Choose the upgrade around the organization you need after scanning, as well as the first inventory session.
Latest release and our recommendation
Version 4.2.1 was released September 24, 2026. It adds export of proxy and signed properties, grouping decks by proxy status and stability fixes. Those details matter if your Magic records distinguish playable stand-ins from owned original printings.
Shortlist ManaBox for a Magic collection used in deck building. For a collection spanning Pokémon and several other games, compare the broader catalogues before choosing one app for everything.
