Import Deckbox CSV File Export into EchoMTG
If importing from deckbox this is what you need to do.
Step one:
Deckbox puts a bunch of extra columns in. Deckbox also just says the word “foil†in one column if you have a foil version. It doesn’t give you a quantity You need create another column called “foil qtyâ€. Then go down through your list and each one that says “foilâ€, transfer the number of foils you have to your new “foil qty†column for the corresponding card.
Step 2:
Download the Echo MTG example template. You will need to edit the example template itself, and then upload that. Add an amount of horizontal rows to the example template equal to the number of horizontal rows listed in your deckbox cvs. Then hold down the mouse button and scroll down to copy the data in each column. Paste the data from each column into the corresponding column of the example template. Then upload the example template to Your Echo MTG inventory.
I uploaded almost 22,000 cards and it was very accurate this way. I have a Mac and use the “Numbers†program instead of excel.
Thank you Discord Member CalebRyder for the tips above!
About the Author
Hi I'm Teeg, the mythical programmer of EchoMTG. I've been a player since 1995, but took a hiatus before middle school, then returned in 2011. Upon returning I was hellbent on collecting nostalgic cards I once had in my collection (dual lands etc.) so I could jump into the legacy scene. Collecting duals needed to be done on a budget, so trading up was the only option. While trading heavily online, I started Echo database (early 2012) to help calculate quick trades. I take a lot of pride as a product author and still love mtg dearly, so Echo is a great avenue for experimental interface designs while feeding into my favorite hobby.
