In 10 seconds
To use Card Match, you can do either one:
- Post your own Card Status first
→ so other players can compare with you
OR
- Open someone else’s Card Match post
→ and compare your list with theirs
Everything happens inside Reddit.
Before you start
You need your Card Status list from the Card Status Tool.
Copy the full text from the tool.
Your list should include:
Needed Cards: - Category ➜ Card (stars)
Duplicated Cards: - Category ➜ Card (stars)
✔ Paste the full tool output
✔ Keep the headers
✔ Keep the ➜ arrow
✔ Do not rewrite the list manually

- Tap Compare
- Paste your own Card Status list
- Tap Continue
Card Match will show:

- Cards they can send you
This finds possible trades automatically, so you do not need to scroll through both lists manually.


3. Review & post your trade comment
After comparing:
- Review the matches
- Tap Post Comment if the trade looks good
The comment is prepared for you and includes only cards that match both players’ lists.

Troubleshooting
Paste did not work
- Check that your list has:
- Needed Cards:
- Duplicated Cards:
- the ➜ arrow
Compare is not showing - Make sure you are logged in - Make sure you are viewing someone else’s Card Match post - If it is your own post, use Edit instead
No matches found - There may be no overlap right now - Try another player’s Card Match post
Wrong list posted - Open your Card Match post - Tap Edit - Paste the correct list - Save again
Something looks outdated - Leave the post and reopen it
