Track Your Lorcana Collection in One Vault

Every player has an approximate collection. Somewhere there is a binder, a few deck boxes, and a pile that never got sorted, and on top of them sits a mental inventory that fails at the worst moments, usually mid-trade. The tracker at /collection replaces that inventory with an actual count, kept current as you buy and trade. What follows is how it works on this site and what changes once it exists.

Why track at all

A collection you can query changes how you spend before it changes anything else. When you know you own two copies of a card, buying a third becomes a decision rather than an accident. Without a count, it is easy to re-buy cards you already own, or to open product chasing something that has been sitting in a box at home the whole time.

Trading gets sharper for the same reason. Your side of a trade is the half you can actually know, and knowing whether the card leaving your binder is a spare or the last copy a deck depends on turns a gut call at the table into an easy answer.

Tracking also changes what a project looks like. A deck you want to build stops being a vague someday plan and becomes a specific list of missing cards with a specific cost. The rest of this guide is the machinery that makes those answers cheap to get.

Setting up your collection

The tracker is tied to your account, so the collection page asks you to sign in first. A signed-out visit goes straight to the login page and returns you to your collection once you are in. From there the whole interaction is a quantity. Each card carries a small stepper for every finish it was printed in, and changes save on their own a moment after you stop clicking. A count stepped down to zero simply drops off the list.

Finishes are tracked separately because they are separate physical cards with separate prices. Most cards come as the familiar pair of a Normal printing and a Foil, so they carry two counts. Enchanted cards are printed only as holofoils, so they carry a single Holofoil count. A small number of printings sell in three finishes, Normal, Cold Foil, and Holofoil, and those show all three rows.

Logging does not have to happen on the collection page itself. Every card's page has an owned-copies panel with the same steppers, and the quick view that opens while you browse has them too, including for a card's other printings. In practice you log cards wherever you happen to be looking at them, and the collection page keeps a sortable table and an image grid for when you want to work through everything at once.

If your collection already lives somewhere else, you do not have to retype it. The page imports a CSV in the Dreamborn export format and merges it into what you have already logged: cards in the file get the file's counts, and cards the file never mentions are left alone. A matching export button sends your collection back out as a CSV whenever you want it, so the data is never trapped here.

Set progress

At the top of the collection page, next to the value figures, sits a set completion readout. Pick a set from the selector, or leave it on all sets, and it shows how many distinct cards from that set you own against how many the set printed, with a progress bar to match. Completion counts cards rather than copies. One copy in any finish marks a card as collected, so finishing a set and assembling playsets stay two separate projects.

The same progress follows you to /sets. Signed in, every set on that page carries its own collected bar, which turns the sets index into a one-screen answer to which sets are nearly done and which you have barely touched. It is also the natural place to decide where the next batch of singles should come from.

One deliberate detail: the percentage is floored instead of rounded up. Owning 199 cards of a 200-card set reads as 99 percent, because a set is not complete until it is complete.

Value awareness without price-watching

Above the table, the page totals what your collection is worth: every quantity multiplied by the latest market price for that card in that finish. Prices come from a TCGplayer market data sync that runs once a day, so the figure follows the market without live lookups, and a foil copy is valued as a foil, never lumped in with the regular printing.

When a card has no current market price for a finish you own, the tracker refuses to guess. Those copies add nothing, and the header notes how many cards are missing price data, so when the total is off it is only ever low.

The daily cadence is deliberate. A collection changes value slowly, and checking it hourly would change nothing but your mood. The total exists for orientation: knowing roughly what sits in the binder before you trade away a piece of it, and noticing when a set you finished long ago has quietly become worth protecting better. Once a day is exactly as often as those questions come up.

Sorting the table by value does the same job at the card level. It surfaces the handful of cards carrying most of the total, which are the ones worth better sleeves and the ones to check first when a trade is on the table.

Collection meets deck building

Deck prices on this site assume you own nothing, which is the right default for a public list and rarely your actual situation. The price that matters to you is not the deck's total, it is the cost of the part you are missing.

Your collection is how you find that number. Open a list you want to build in /builder and check its cards against what you have logged. Slots your binder already covers come out of the shopping list, and what remains is the deck's cost to you in practice. The builder prices the full list from the same daily market sync, so both sides of that comparison come from the same day's data.

Tracking pays off most when you build cheap. The lists in our budget decks guide ride the same daily sync, and a logged collection tells you immediately which of those decks you are already halfway to owning. Cards in the vault carry forward too: staples you picked up for one deck show up in the next one's list already owned.

Start with the binder nearest your desk. Twenty minutes of steppers, or one CSV import, and every question in this guide has an answer waiting on /collection.
