MTG trade matching: what you can send and get, both sides at once
MTG trade matching in Reliquary takes another player's handle or share links and gives both sides of a trade at once: the cards they want that you could send, the cards in their tradelist your decks still miss, and the difference in value between the two.
What is matched
| Side | Their list | Your cards |
|---|---|---|
| You could send | Their wantlist: the cards they still miss | Your free copies only, never one a deck of yours claims for itself |
| You could get | Their tradelist: the cards in the place they trade from | What your decks and your own wantlist still miss |
Each row gives the printing, finish, condition, for your copies where each one is, and a price in USD, EUR or CHF. The difference says which side sends more, and how many cards it leaves out for having no price.
What it will not do
It does not pick cards or even out a trade. It shows everything that matches and the gap, and the two of you choose. A trade you agree on is a change you make to your collection afterwards.
What it always says
- Proxies. A proxy is offered only where your real copies run out, is named on its row, and counts as zero in value.
- Shared copies. A copy a deck of yours shares names that deck, because sending it takes it from them.
- Only what was published. The other player is reached through their share links or their handle, and a handle stands only for the wantlists and tradelists they published: never a deck, their collection, their name or their email.
Where to run it
On the Trade page of the web app, under Match, or by asking a connected assistant to match a trade with @name. Both read the same lists.
Questions
How does the other player publish?
They share a wantlist and their trade binder as a tradelist, and can take a handle so you can type @name instead of pasting links. See wishlist sharing.
Can someone find me by searching?
No. A handle must be typed exactly: there is no search and no list of handles, and an unknown handle answers the same as one with nothing published.
Does a match change my collection?
No. Matching only reads.
