Built-in Card Scanner for Deck Building

L

It would be incredibly useful to have a built-in card scanner in the Moxfield mobile experience for adding physical cards directly to a deck.

Ideally, you could open the camera from the deck editor and simply scan cards one after another:

Scan card → recognize card → automatically add it to the deck → scan next card.

A continuous scanning mode would make entering an entire physical deck much faster, especially for Commander decks with 100 cards.

Useful features could include:

  • Automatic card recognition
  • Continuous scanning without confirming every card
  • Automatically increasing the quantity when the same card is scanned multiple times
  • Choosing the correct printing/set when needed
  • Quickly correcting a card if it was recognized incorrectly
  • Adding cards directly to Mainboard, Sideboard, Considering, etc.

Currently, getting a physical deck into Moxfield generally means manually searching for cards or scanning them with another app and then importing the resulting list. Having this functionality directly inside Moxfield would make building and cataloguing physical decks much easier.

Basically: point camera at pile of cards → scan scan scan → deck done. 😄

Would absolutely love to see this added!
