What makes this Magic card scanner different
Foil and promo detection are built in.

Language detection
Non-English printings are recognised automatically and the matching localized name, set and artwork are shown alongside the English card data.
Completely free
Scanning, price lookups and the collection value calculator are free. No subscription is required to identify and value your cards.
