Android users have several solid MTG scanner options, though the landscape is different from iOS. The most recommended Android scanners are Delver Lens, ManaBox, and Dragon Shield, each with distinct strengths depending on your priorities.

Delver Lens is widely considered the top Android MTG scanner. It is fast, reasonably accurate, and handles large collections well. The app is free with optional premium features, and its scanning speed is one of the fastest available on any platform. Delver Lens works without a white background and supports batch scanning for efficient collection cataloging. Its main weakness is that accuracy can degrade with very large scanning sessions, and variant detection for special printings is not always reliable.

ManaBox is a cross-platform option available on both Android and iOS. It offers decent scanning along with strong deck building and collection management features. The downside on any platform is the white background requirement, which limits where and how you can scan cards. Foil cards also give ManaBox trouble, often resulting in misidentified or failed scans. Despite these issues, ManaBox has a loyal user base thanks to its overall feature set beyond just scanning.

Dragon Shield's app is another Android option with a clean interface and integration with the Dragon Shield ecosystem. Its scanning is adequate for recent standard sets but struggles notably with reprinted cards, often selecting the wrong version. For players who primarily scan new cards from recent releases, it works fine. For those with diverse collections spanning many years, the accuracy issues become a real problem.

It is worth noting that Lotus Scan is currently available exclusively on iOS. This means iPhone and iPad users have access to what is arguably the most accurate MTG scanner on the market, while Android users must choose from the alternatives above. If you are considering switching platforms or have access to both, the scanning experience on Lotus Scan is a meaningful differentiator.

For Android users making the best of available options, Delver Lens is the recommendation for pure scanning speed and accuracy, while ManaBox is better if you want an all-in-one app for scanning, collection tracking, and deck building in a single package.
