Over the last few patches, we have been steadily refining our prediction pipeline. Each release has improved detection, tightened version accuracy, and reduced the need for manual corrections. We are now seeing consistently strong results at scale.
In the first few weeks of February alone, users scanned hundreds of thousands of Magic: The Gathering cards. Across that volume, we saw an over 99.5 percent successful prediction rate. In other words, when the system made a prediction, only a very small fraction of predictions were corrected by users.
To improve this further we are making a few additional refinements to the pipeline in 1.0.9. The important part is that the recognition system is now performing at a level we feel confident expanding.
Up until now, unsleeved cards have been the primary focus of our scanning workflow. But that only solved part of the problem collectors face. With 1.0.9, we are extending that same proven recognition pipeline to the rest of your collection.
One of the most common requests we have received is better support for scanning sleeved cards. To address this, Manual Scan now includes a Timed Capture mode. This allows you to scan sleeved (or unsleeved) cards by moving them in front of the camera at a steady rhythm, either by hand or by utilizing a widely available scan stand.
Another gap we identified was cards in binders. With the new Grid Scan feature, you can capture an entire binder page and process all the cards on that page at once.
The goal here is simple. Unsleeved cards should not be the only part of your collection that is easy to digitize. But capturing cards is only the first step. The second is making that data usable.
In order to help make your data more usable we are launching a new Advanced Search function that allows you to combine multiple search filters across color, mana value, type, rules text, power and toughness, keywords, set, and price. You can search your collection, a specific deck, or our full Magic: The Gathering database.
For example, you can find red instants that mention damage in the text box, two mana legendary creatures in your collection, or cards from a specific set over a certain price. These filters can be combined in any way you want to search your collection.
So 1.0.9 really comes down to two things: extending our proven recognition pipeline beyond unsleeved cards, and making the data you capture more actionable. Patch 1.0.9 should be live in the coming day or two.
We are continuing to grow quickly, and that growth comes directly from this community. The volume of scans, the edge cases you surface, the corrections you make, the bugs you report, and the feedback you give all contribute to improving the system. Every patch is a result of learning from you and how you actually use your collections.
As always, I appreciate all of you building this with us. Every card counts.
