If you've ever opened a binder hunting for a Snapcaster Mage you swore was in there, only to find it three boxes deep behind a stack of bulk rares, this one's for you. Locations is now live across EchoMTG. It's a complete way to track where the cards in your collection physically live — binders, boxes, deck boxes, sleeves on the shelf, "that drawer in the kitchen" — and to keep that information in sync with everything else you do on Echo: decks, trades, set-completion tracking, even your CSV exports.

The basics

Head to My Apps → Inventory → Locations in the sidebar. From the Manager page you can:

  • Create a location with a name, type (binder, deck box, storage box, shelf, drawer, etc.), and a custom photo

  • See live tile counts of how many cards live in each location and what they're worth right now

  • Drill into any location to see exactly which cards it holds

Tagging cards to a location is just as simple. On any row in your collection, you'll see a small location chip. Click it, pick the location, done. You can do it in bulk from the Bulk Action modal too.

Sealed product fits the same model

Sealed packs, boxes, and bundles are first-class citizens here too. Every sealed item lives in a location alongside the singles, so you can pull up "Closet shelf #2" and see both the cards AND the unopened packs sitting next to them.

Pair a deck to a location

This is the one that's clicked the loudest with playtesters. On any list or deck page, you can pair it to a physical location — typically a deck box. Once paired, Echo knows that deck literally lives in that box. The deck page surfaces:

  • A storage-location pill at the top so you always know where the deck physically is

  • A "Cards stored wrong" warning when the deck contains cards Echo thinks live somewhere else

  • A Find in collection shortcut that auto-filters your collection to the paired location

And when you paste a new decklist that contains cards you already own elsewhere, the Pin existing copies modal lets you stake claim on those copies from inside the deck — no virtual duplicates.

"I bought these cards"

When you do need to fill gaps, the "I bought these cards" mini-flow on any paired list lets you batch-add the missing pieces directly into the deck's paired location. One pass, no copy-paste between pages.

Per-printing pins, hierarchy, and filtering

  • Per-printing pin badges — search results and the card inspector show whether a specific printing is already pinned somewhere

  • Hierarchical locations — a storage box that holds three binders, each holding multiple deck inserts; Echo walks the whole tree for counts and value

  • Multi-location filter on the collection page — one location, several, or "everywhere except the trade binder"

  • Dashboard tile — your collection broken down by location at a glance

  • CSV import / export — the Location column flows both ways: export takes locations with you; import auto-creates unknowns and tags everything in one pass

  • Photo upload — snap a pic of the binder and identify it visually on the manager page

Pro tier: full pin history audit

If you're on the Pro tier, every time a card moves from one location to another (or in or out of a deck pairing), Echo records it. The Pin History popover on any inventory row shows the complete timeline of where a card has lived. Useful for high-value cards, and for tracking down "who borrowed the Underground Sea three trade nights ago."

Try it

Locations is rolled out to all plan tiers — every account can create locations and tag cards. Some of the power tools (custom photo upload, hierarchy, multi-location filter, bulk-tag) are part of the Collector tier and up; the Pro pin-history audit is part of the Pro tier; sharing locations with multiple users (for stores or friend groups) is part of the LGS tier. The pricing page has the full ladder. Go set up your first location → https://www.echomtg.com/apps/locations/ We've got more coming on top of this foundation — including scanning new cards directly into a target location via the Vision scanner, and shared search-by-location for stores. Requests welcome on the community board. Happy organizing.
