Scan the whole pile.
Play the better deck.
Most collection apps make you photograph one card at a time — and pick one game. TCGdeck reads 20+ cards from a single photo, Pokémon and Magic together in the same pile, and then helps you actually build and play a deck with the cards you own.
Measured from 2,285 cards across 325 real scans in the last 90 days, updated continuously. Your photos, lighting and cards will vary.
Other apps are catalogues. This one is a playgroup.
Pokémon and Magic, one binder
Dump the shoebox out: Pokémon TCG and Magic: The Gathering cards in the same photo, each card matched against its own database, priced from its own market, and filed on its own tab.
One photo, twenty cards
Spread the stack on the table and shoot it. Names and collector numbers are read together, matched against the card database, and merged into your existing quantities.
Decks from the cards you own
Not a netdeck you can't build. A legal 60-card Pokémon list from your actual binder, with the swaps that would improve it and what to buy next. Magic deck building — Commander and Standard — is next.
It tells you how to play it
Ask why you keep losing. The coach reads your deck and answers in plain language — opening plays, what to hold, which line wins the long game.
Play with people you know
Share decks with friends and browse each other's binders — with live value estimates on every card.
Pile of cards to a playable deck in one evening.
Shoot the pile
Cards flat, decent light, collector numbers visible. One photo covers a whole row — Pokémon or Magic, or both at once.
Confirm and value
Set, collector number, rarity and market price already filled in. Only the flagged ones want a look.
Build and play
Ask for a deck, get a 60-card list you can physically assemble tonight, then have it coached.
You don't have to learn the game to help your kid win.
Coaching explains the deck in plain English — what to play first, what to hold, why this card matters. Everyone in the house gets their own binder under one bill, and you approve any spending.
Collecting is free. AI is metered.
Adding cards, tracking value and building decks by hand cost nothing, forever. Trainer AI runs on real compute, so it runs on credits — and you can always see exactly where they went.
What the free plan won't let you do
Short list, and worth reading before you sign up rather than after.
- —Save more than 3 decks at a time
- —Share a deck, or open one someone shared with you
- —Get more credits each month — the free grant is one-time
Everything else keeps working when your credits run out: your collection, your decks and price tracking never stop.
What a credit is
Credits are what DeckAI runs on. Each request costs what it actually takes to run — the table below is what to expect — and every charge shows in your history. No mystery tokens, no surprise bill. Run out and nothing breaks: your collection and decks keep working.
Charged by what each request actually costs to run — bigger collections make bigger deck builds. Every charge shows in your history.
Need more? Boost.
Big weekend, new set drop, someone dumped a shoebox on your table. Buy credits when you need them — they never expire while your plan is active.
Top-ups cost a little more per credit than a monthly plan — if you're buying them often, upgrading is the cheaper way round.
Nothing breaks. Your collection, decks, values and trades all keep working — only new AI requests pause until your monthly credits refill or you buy a boost.
Monthly plan credits reset each billing cycle. Boost credits you paid for don't expire while your plan is active.
Because a deck build costs real money to run, and 'unlimited' plans either get throttled quietly or priced for the heaviest user. Metering keeps Pro at $9.
Cancel any time from billing and you keep access to the end of the cycle you've paid for — there's no partial refund for the rest of it. Your monthly credits end with the plan; boost credits you bought stay on your account and keep working on the free plan. Payments are final, and deleting your account forfeits any credits left, including boosts.

No — market values are best-effort estimates and AI suggestions are suggestions. Never treat either as an appraisal or a tournament ruling.
