Adding Cards to Your Collection

Learn how to add Magic cards to your Icarian collection using various methods.

Individual Card Search

The quickest way to add a single card:

1. Navigate to All Cards from the Library menu
2. Use the search box to find your card by name
3. Click on the card to view its details page
4. Click Add to Collection
5. Select a binder (optional) or leave unassigned
6. Click Confirm

The card will now appear in your collection!

Adding from Set Lists

To add multiple cards from a specific set:

1. Navigate to All Sets from the Library menu
2. Find and click on the set you want to browse
3. Browse the complete card list for that set
4. Click Add to Collection for each card you own
5. Use the Add Set button on binder pages to bulk-add entire sets to a specific binder

This method is ideal when you’ve opened booster packs or purchased a set bundle.

Bulk Import from Moxfield

For large collections, importing from Moxfield is the fastest option:

1. Export your collection from Moxfield as a CSV file
2. In Icarian, navigate to Collection > Import
3. Upload your Moxfield CSV file
4. Icarian will match cards and add them to your collection
5. Review the import summary for any unmatched cards

Note: The import process matches cards by name and set code, so ensure your Moxfield export is current.

Understanding Card Printings

Magic cards can have multiple printings across different sets. When adding a card:

• By default, Icarian adds the most recent printing
• You can change the specific printing from the card detail page
• Each printing has its own price and availability
• Foil vs. non-foil variants are tracked separately

Managing Quantities

If you own multiple copies of a card:

1. Add the card to your collection multiple times, or
2. Use the quantity selector when adding from set lists
3. Each copy can be assigned to different binders

Tip: Enable “Auto-trade duplicates” in Settings to automatically mark duplicate cards as tradeable, keeping only the first copy for your collection.

Removing Cards

To remove a card from your collection:

1. Navigate to the card’s detail page
2. Click Remove from Collection
3. If you have multiple copies, choose which copy to remove

You can also remove all copies of a card at once from your Collection overview.

Common Issues

“Card not found”

• Ensure you’re using the correct card name
• Try searching by set name if there are multiple printings
• Some promotional or special cards may have different names

“Import failed”

• Check that your CSV file is from Moxfield (other formats aren’t supported yet)
• Ensure the file isn’t corrupted or empty
• Contact support if issues persist
