Magic: the Gathering
Image generated using the Scryfall image API
I took up collecting Mt:G in 2023 after a long break. I don't really play anymore, but I enjoy collecting specific sets and tribes for their themes, artwork and lore.
Magic is a hobby I try to do away from my computer, so I don't have extensive spreadsheets or a comprehensive record of my collection on Scryfall; instead I do as much cataloguing as I need with pen and paper.
How I organise my collection
Specific collections
- Ordered by three-letter set code and then in set order
- Stored in three-ring binders
Excess cards
- Divided by mana colour, then colourless, then tokens
- Cards with multiple colour costs are sorted by the first colour listed
- Within each colour block, cards are sorted alphabetically by name
- Stored in cardboard boxes
