Moxfield builds decks better. Spellstash knows where the cards are.
Straight up: if you want a deck builder, use Moxfield. Seventeen formats, deck history, a real playtest sandbox, EDHREC integrated, free with ads. It earned its spot as the default.
The thing it does not do is the thing Spellstash was built for: telling you where your physical cards actually are. You do not have to take our word that this matters. Here is the number one most upvoted request on Moxfield’s own feedback board, in progress for more than three years:
Where the two actually differ
| Moxfield | Spellstash | |
|---|---|---|
| Deck building | The strongest around: 17 formats, history, primers, playtester. | Basic deck containers. Not trying to win this column. |
| Where is my card? | Quantities owned and checkmarks. No location. Their most requested feature for 3+ years. | The core product: every copy in a named deck, box, or binder with move history and on-loan tracking. One search shows every location. |
| Is this card already in a deck? | Cannot tell you, per their own feedback threads. | Always visible: locations show on every card, everywhere. |
| EDHREC tools | Integrated recommendations while brewing. | Check any deck or pasted list against the average build, grade it against the bracket averages, watch new cards for your commanders. |
| Prices | Marketplace price display. | Card Kingdom pricing on whole decks, precons, and search results, plus a buylist cash-out view of your own collection. |
| Cost | Free with ads; optional Patreon support. | Free tier (5 containers, 1,000 cards); Pro $4.99/mo or $99 lifetime. |
The use-both play
Brew on Moxfield. When the list is real, paste its export into Spellstash: the Bracket Brewer grades it against the EDHREC bracket averages, the collection cross-check shows which cards you already own and where they are sitting, and the gap gets priced at Card Kingdom in one pass.

Questions people ask
- Is Moxfield free?
- Yes. Moxfield is ad-supported with an optional Patreon (tiers from $1 to $50 a month, framed as support rather than feature gates). There is no subscription paywall on core features.
- Does Moxfield track where my cards physically are?
- No. Moxfield tracks quantities owned and shows owned checkmarks on deck lists, but it cannot say which deck or box holds a copy. That exact capability is the most upvoted request on their feedback board: 604 votes, marked In Progress for over three years.
- Can Spellstash import a Moxfield deck?
- Yes, by paste: open your deck on Moxfield, hit Export, copy the text, and paste it into Spellstash. Direct link imports are blocked by Moxfield’s bot protection, which blocks every third-party tool the same way.
- What does Spellstash cost?
- The free tier covers 5 containers and 1,000 cards. Pro is $4.99 a month or $99 once, for life.
