Commander is Magic's most popular format, and managing multiple 100-card singleton decks creates unique organizational challenges that standard 60-card format players never face. Lotus Scan lets Commander players scan entire decks to track their total value, identify the most expensive cards across multiple decks, and maintain organized digital decklists that mirror their physical collection. Whether you have two Commander decks or twenty, the app helps you keep track of what is in each deck and what each deck is worth. It is also invaluable for scanning potential upgrades at your local store or evaluating trade options during Commander night.

Why Commander Players Needs a Specialized Scanner

Commander decks are unique in MTG because they contain 100 singleton cards, often spanning dozens of different sets and decades of Magic history. This means a single Commander player can easily own 500 to 2,000 unique cards across their decks, and tracking what is in each deck becomes a real logistical challenge. Commander staples like Mana Crypt, Jeweled Lotus, and Dockside Extortionist can shift dramatically in price, making it important to know your deck values. A scanner that lets you quickly digitize and organize by deck gives you control over a collection format that is inherently complex.
