Comparison based on current official descriptions, not hands-on testing of the competing product. Prices, subscription eligibility and feature availability can change.
A growing card collection is easier to enjoy when you can see what is missing and which duplicates you can offer. This tracker records your own counts, separates spare copies from unique cards, and exports a portable inventory. It does not connect to the game or guess the contents of a pack.
Add cards you actually own. Completion uses the catalog size you enter; it does not estimate pack odds or spending needed to finish.
Inputs are processed in this page. Nothing is submitted to the app or a business. Download a result to keep it; this page does not automatically save your work.
You own three copies of one familiar and one of another. The tracker reports two spares for the first and none for the second. After swapping one spare for a missing creature, update both rows rather than merely marking the trade complete.

Trading happens between nearby iPhones, not through internet matchmaking. The game saves progress on the device without cloud sync. This web inventory is a separate planning document and cannot modify game saves.
