How to export your collection from Moxfield

Moxfield can export your collection as a CSV file. You can keep it as a backup, open it in a spreadsheet, or use it to move your cards to another collection tool.

Export the CSV

Sign in on moxfield.com and open your collection.
Choose Export. Moxfield downloads your collection as a CSV in its own format.
Keep the downloaded file as it is. If you edit it in a spreadsheet app, save it back as CSV rather than as a workbook.

What the file contains

Moxfield's export uses the same format as its collection import. Its help page documents these columns:

Count: the number of copies, as a plain whole number.
Name: the exact card name, including punctuation.
Edition: the Scryfall set code, such as c21, not the set name.
Collector Number: the card's number within that set. A few include a letter or a star (★).
Condition: Mint, Near Mint, Lightly Played, Played, Heavily Played, or Damaged, or the short forms M, NM, LP, MP, HP, and D or DM.
Language: a language name or code, such as English or en, Japanese or ja. A blank language means English.
Foil: blank for nonfoil, foil for regular foil, or etched for etched foil. Special foils such as gilded or textured have their own collector numbers instead of their own Foil value.
Alter and Playtest Card: TRUE or FALSE.
Purchase Price: a number with no currency symbol.

Edition and Collector Number together identify one exact printing. Name alone only identifies the card, so a tool reading the file without those two columns has to guess which printing you own.

Things to check before you move the file

Playtest cards. Moxfield marks them in the Playtest Card column. A tool that does not read that column counts them as real copies, so check how your new tool handles them.
Digital cards. A Moxfield collection can hold paper, Arena, and MTGO cards. If you track digital cards there, check that the file contains only what you want to import.
Purchase prices. These are your own records. Many tools, Tomebound included, don't import them.
Importing back into Moxfield. Moxfield's import adds to your current collection; it does not replace it, so importing cards you already have there adds them again.

Bring the file into Tomebound

Sign in to Tomebound, open Add Cards, and choose import.
Choose Upload a file and select the CSV, or choose Paste a list and paste its contents. Tomebound recognizes Moxfield's headers, so there are no columns to match.
Review the import. Before the review opens, Tomebound looks up every row on Scryfall and sorts the rows into add, merge quantity, and needs attention.
For cards you already own, choose Add to existing quantity or Leave existing alone, and change that choice for individual rows if you need to.
Pick a location for the import: no location, an existing container, or a new container.
Confirm. The receipt shows what was added and merged, lists any warnings, and has an Undo import button that reverses the whole import in one step.

Tomebound reads Count, Name, Edition, Collector Number, Condition, Language, and Foil, plus Tags if your file has a Tags column. Each row lands on the printing its Edition and Collector Number name. Card names must match exactly, including a double-faced card's front face name or its full "Front // Back" name. If a set code and collector number don't match a printing, Tomebound looks for the card name within that set and flags the row so you can check the printing.

A few values change on the way in:

Tomebound has no mint grade, so Mint comes in as near mint.
A condition or language it doesn't recognize becomes near mint or English, with a warning in the review.
Rows marked Alter or Playtest Card import as regular copies, with a warning, so you can remove them in the review if you don't want them.
Purchase Price is ignored. Tomebound shows Scryfall market prices instead.

Rows that Scryfall can't match are flagged in the review. They still import by name only, without card details, and the receipt lists each one by row and card name so you can fix it. Re-importing the same file with Leave existing alone changes nothing.

Decks work differently: paste a Moxfield deck link or the deck's text export, and commanders, companions, and sideboards keep their places. To go back the other way, export from Tomebound as Moxfield CSV.

The import help covers every supported format and field.

Hey, it's Benson. I made Tomebound. I drafted this guide with AI, then checked every step against the app myself. Tomebound is a passion project, and most of my time goes into making the tool great. If you collect Magic cards, I'd love for you to give it a try.
