Magic cards repeat across sets, border treatments, and collector numbers. ScryDeck compares your scan against a vector index of printings, then re-ranks candidates using name and set classifiers so the most likely match surfaces first.
-
Multiple predictions
Each scan returns up to 20 ranked predictions. The top result opens automatically in the drawer carousel.
If the name looks right but the set symbol or art is wrong, swipe sideways through the carousel to pick a different printing. Confidence scores help you judge how sure the match is.
-
How ranking works
ScryDeck starts with visual similarity against the card image database, then boosts candidates when the name classifier and set classifier agree with high confidence.
Borderless, extended-art, and showcase variants are distinguished as separate printings — not just the base set version.
-
Lock a set while scanning
Scanning many cards from one set? Open Settings → Lock Set and choose the set code. While locked, results are constrained to that set, which speeds up bulk sessions and reduces wrong-set picks.
A set badge appears on the settings button when a lock is active. Clear the lock to return to auto-detect across all sets.
-
Skip duplicate scans
With Skip Duplicate Scans enabled (default), scanning the same printing twice in a row updates the peek view but does not add a second history row. Turn this off in settings if you want every capture logged separately.
-
When nothing looks right
Try better lighting, hold the card flatter, or lock the expected set. If all predictions miss, the card may not be in the catalog yet — add it manually from search instead.
