Trade binder

Your trade binder pairs the spare cards you can trade away with the cards you're after — built automatically from your library and wishlist, with values, ready to export for trade night.

What the trade binder is

The trade binder is a single screen that shows two lists side by side: your Have (Extras) — duplicate cards you could trade away — and your Want — the cards on your wishlist. It's built automatically, so there's nothing to add or remove by hand: it reflects whatever is in your collection and wishlist.

The trade binder is available in both the iOS and Android apps, and works the same way on each.

Open the trade binder

Open your Library and tap the trade button (the swap / two-arrows icon) in the toolbar. The trade binder opens as a sheet over your library.The trade binder opens as its own screen.

Have, Want & values

At the top, two summary cards show the count and total value of each side — Have (Extras) and Want. Below them are two collapsible sections:

  1. Have (Extras)

    Each tradeable card lists its set, collector number, foil status, condition and value.

  2. Want

    Each wishlist card lists its set, number, foil status, your wishlist priority, and current price.

Tap a section header to collapse or expand it.

Filling your binder

Because the binder is generated from your data, you fill it indirectly:

  • A card appears under Have (Extras) when you own 2 or more copies of it and those copies aren't in any deck.
  • A card appears under Want when it's on your wishlist.

If both sides are empty you'll see a No Trade Data message prompting you to add duplicates to your library and cards to your wishlist.

Export & share

When you have something to trade, tap the export / share icon in the top bar to open the export sheet. There you can:

  1. Choose a format

    Pick MTG Standard (a plain decklist-style list) or CSV (a spreadsheet-friendly format).

  2. Copy or share

    Tap Copy to put the list on your clipboard, or Share to send it through the system share sheet — handy for posting your haves and wants in a group chat.
