MTG Burrow is a free Magic: The Gathering collection tracker built for playgroups. It lets you import your cards from Moxfield or Manabox, search across your friends' collections, build decks from what your group owns, and request trades — all in one place.

Yes, MTG Burrow is completely free to use. There are no subscriptions, hidden fees, or premium tiers. All features including collection tracking, deck building, community search, and trading are available at no cost.

How do I import my collection from Moxfield?

Just paste your Moxfield profile URL into the import page and MTG Burrow will automatically sync your entire collection. You can also upload a CSV export from Manabox. Your cards are matched using Scryfall data and ready to search in seconds.

Can I search my friends' MTG collections?

Absolutely. Add friends or create a playgroup, and you can search everyone's collections at once. Results show exactly who owns each card and how many copies they have, making it easy to find cards for trades or deck building.

Does MTG Burrow work with Commander decks?

Yes. The deck builder supports Commander and all other Magic: The Gathering formats. Import a Commander deck from Moxfield and instantly see which cards you own, which are in a different printing, and which you still need to find or trade for.

A free digital trade binder for your Magic: The Gathering playgroup

Trading Magic: The Gathering cards inside a playgroup should be the easiest way to round out your decks. In practice it is not. You don't know what your friends pulled from their last box. Your friends don't know which Commander pieces you've been hunting for months. The card sitting in someone else's binder ten feet away ends up bought from a stranger online, with shipping and a marketplace cut on top.

MTG Burrow is a free digital trade binder built for the people you actually play with. Every member of your group uploads their collection once, then everyone can browse everyone else's cards. When you spot something you want, you start a trade through the site and finish it in person at the next game night. No commissions, no shipping addresses, no marketplace strangers — just the cards you and your friends already own, finally visible to each other.

How a digital trade binder works for a playgroup

The model is simple. Each player creates a free MTG Burrow account, imports their collection (Moxfield CSV, Manabox export, or the in-app importer), and joins a private group with their playgroup. The group page becomes a shared trade binder: a single search box across every collection in the group. You can sort by set, filter by Commander, or jump straight to the cards your next deck is missing. Every result tells you who owns the card and how many copies they have.

Sharing your collection with friends turns the awkward "hey, do you happen to own…" group chat into a query. Searching across collections turns "I'll just buy it" into "looks like Maya has two — I'll bring her my spare Cyclonic Rift on Friday." The binder is the structure that lets a playgroup function as a marketplace for itself.

Built for your group, not a marketplace of strangers

There are excellent transactional trade tools online. TCGplayer, Cardsphere, and Deckbox handle stranger-to-stranger trades at scale, with feedback systems, escrow, and shipping. That's a different problem than the one MTG Burrow solves. A digital trade binder for your playgroup is for trading inside your group — the people you already trust, already sit down with weekly, and already share table space with. There is no commission because there is no middleman. There is no shipping because the trade happens at game night. There is no haggling with a username because you're trading with your friend.

If you've ever opened a TCGplayer cart of $40 in singles and thought "I bet someone at our table has half of these," this is the alternative to TCGplayer trading you've been waiting for. The cards do not need to be bought. They need to be visible.

What it costs and what it changes about your playgroup

MTG Burrow is free. There is no subscription, no premium tier, and no fees on trades. The site exists to grow Magic-playing communities, not to take a cut of them. Once your group's collections are uploaded, two things tend to happen. Players stop reflex-buying singles, because the card is often already in the room. And game nights gain a small ritual — the in-person trade at the start of the evening, lubricated by a search query someone ran on their phone the night before.

Stronger playgroups play more, spend less, and stick around longer. The shared binder is the small piece of infrastructure that makes the trading culture possible.

Get started with your playgroup

Sign up for a free MTG Burrow account to create your group's digital trade binder. Already have an account? Log in and invite the rest of your playgroup. The first step for every new member is uploading their collection — see the collection tracker page for what that looks like. Once a card you want shows up in someone else's binder, the trade tool handles the request flow from there.

Frequently asked questions

Is the digital trade binder really free?: Yes. MTG Burrow has no subscription, no premium tier, and no commissions on trades. The site is funded as a community project, not as a marketplace.
Can I trade with people outside my playgroup?: The binder is built for groups you've explicitly joined. You can be a member of multiple groups (your weekly Commander pod, your draft league, your LGS regulars), so the same collection serves every circle of trading partners you actually know.
How is this different from TCGplayer or Cardsphere?: TCGplayer and Cardsphere are marketplaces of strangers — they handle escrow, shipping, and feedback because the people trading don't know each other. MTG Burrow is for trading inside playgroups you're already part of. Trades complete in person, so there's no commission, no shipping, and no middleman.
Do I have to upload my whole collection?: No. You can start with the cards you're willing to trade and add more later. Many groups treat the binder as the trade-eligible subset of each player's collection rather than every card in the long box under the bed.
What if my playgroup uses Moxfield or Manabox already?: Both export to CSV, and MTG Burrow accepts those exports directly. See the import page for the step-by-step.
