Tools & calculators
Every MTG Compare tool in one place. Price-check a card, work out whether a box is worth ripping, and build or price decks for less — most need no sign-up at all. A free account adds a watchlist of up to 10 cards, a portfolio of up to 50 and the top rows of each deal list; Plus lifts those limits and shows every deal with no ads, and Premium works out the cheapest way to buy a whole want-list.
The price tools here run on the same data as the rest of MTG Compare: the store and TCGplayer prices our daily import reads in six markets — the US, Australia, the UK, Singapore, Canada and the EU — and the eBay listings we collect. Each answers one question: what a card or a whole list costs, whether a box is worth opening, whether a trade is fair, or what you keep after selling.
A price is an item price unless a tool says otherwise; Best Basket is the one that prices whole orders with each store's measured postage. None of them forecasts where a price will go.

Frequently asked questions
Are the MTG Compare tools free?
Most of them. The box EV calculator, deck builder and list pricer, trade calculator, selling fee calculator and sealed prices need no account at all. Deal Finder and Rising Cards show nothing when you're signed out, the top 3 deals and top 3 rising cards with a free account; every Deal Finder row comes with Plus, which is also ad-free, and every Rising Cards pick with Premium. Best Basket is a Premium tool. Demand Finder shows everyone the top 10 most searched cards of the week; its full most-searched and most-viewed lists are part of Premium.
What does the Deal Finder do?
It lists every Magic card a real store sells for less than TCGplayer's US market price, converted into your currency and ranked by how far below it is, and you can filter it by store and, with Plus, narrow it to only the cards on your watchlist. Signed out it shows nothing, a free account sees the top 3, and Plus shows every row.
Do I need an account to use MTG Compare tools?
Not for most of them. Browsing, comparing prices and running the calculators need no account. A free account adds a watchlist of up to 10 cards with new-low alerts, a portfolio of up to 50 cards with a set checklist of what each set is missing, and the top rows of Deal Finder and Rising Cards. Plus adds an unlimited watchlist and portfolio (a whole set fits), every Deal Finder row, target-price alerts, sealed watches on up to 10 products (an alert when a box is back in stock, drops in price or reaches the price you set) and an ad-free site; Premium adds Best Basket (the store-by-store plan, at the minimum condition you set), every Rising Cards pick, the full Demand Finder and a deck price watch (a saved list re-priced delivered after every update, up to 10 lists).
Which Magic tool should I use to buy a whole decklist?
Best Basket. It searches store combinations for the lowest total including postage, and shows the best one-store and two-store orders beside it, with which store to buy each card from. It is a Premium tool.
Is a Magic booster box worth opening?
Use the box EV calculator: it compares a sealed box's live price against the expected value of its pulls at current singles prices. Wizards of the Coast publishes the slot structure of its boosters, not a probability for every card, so the calculator uses that structure and nothing else: a slot Wizards gives no split for is valued at zero until you give it a rate, and you can change every rate. As a rule, buying the singles you actually want is cheaper than opening product for them.
