Completing a set is every collector's goal, but the real question is always the same: which cards am I still missing? Keeping count by hand, across numbers and variants, is a nightmare. DarkDex tells you at a glance: how many cards you have, how many you're missing and which ones.
Let's look at what it takes to follow a set's progress and stop rebuying cards you already own.
In short. Completing a set means matching every card in your collection against the full expansion list, reverse variants included. Done by hand it's slow and error-prone; the masterset does it for you.
Why "completing" is harder than it looks
A set isn't just a list of numbers. To call it complete you have to account for:
- the total number of cards in the expansion
- the reverse holo variants, which for many count as a separate set
- what you actually own and in what quantity
A paper list is enough to get lost: you rebuy a duplicate, forget a reverse, and never know where you stand.
The glance you need
The only practical way is to see progress as a percentage and the precise list of what's missing, set by set. That way you know at a glance how much is left and which cards to hunt, to save to your wishlist.
With the masterset feature in DarkDex every set shows how many cards you own out of the total, the completion percentage and the exact list of the missing ones, reverses included. When you add a card, progress updates on its own.
See where you stand. Add your cards on DarkDex and every set will show completion and missing cards kept current, so you only hunt for what you need.
FAQ
Do reverse cards count toward completing the set? It depends how you define it: many collectors keep the standard and reverse sets separate. The masterset lets you follow both.
How do I know which cards to look for? The masterset hands you the missing list ready-made: you get the name and number of every card you need.
Does it update on its own when I add a card? Yes, set progress recalculates as soon as you add (or remove) a card.
In short
Completing a set comes down to knowing what's missing. Add your collection to DarkDex, open the masterset and you'll have completion and the missing-card list, set by set.
