What is The MTG Codex?

The MTG Codex is a free web-based Magic: The Gathering collection management platform. It features AI-powered card scanning using Google Gemini, a 110,000+ card database with daily pricing from Scryfall, deck building with format validation for 6 formats, and tools for organizing your collection with color-coded binders.

How does the AI card scanner work?

Point your phone camera at any Magic card and tap capture. The image is processed by Google Gemini 2.0 Flash Vision AI, which identifies the card name, set, collector number, and foil status. Cards appear on your desktop queue via WebSocket in real-time for review before being added to your collection.
