Share your collection with a link and get direct trade requests

A better way to share collections and wishlists in social media groups.

The problem with trading on social media

Posting a photo of your binder in a Facebook or Discord group is still the central method for peer-to-peer trading with strangers in the Magic community. And it works... with problems:

  • Cards aren't indexed; if you're looking for one card, you have to scroll through thousands of binder photos or open Moxfield links to check.
  • Trust with your counterpart: there are no available metrics on their trading history. You have to post asking, and skip those meta-posts when you're actually shopping.
  • Facebook uses lazy loading, so you can't even keyword-search: you scroll and wait for it to load again every time.
  • Prices? To compare you have to build a spreadsheet... and validate the market price of each card one by one.
  • And if I'm selling and several people ask for the same card, how do I prioritize? I have to ask each one where they live, coordinate the meet-up over chat.

Natural Order solves this with public collection and wishlist links. You generate a link, share it anywhere you want, and the person who opens it can browse your cards with all the info they need and put together a trade directly — without writing you a single message.

Until the community has its collections and wishlists on Natural Order, social media is still where the MTG community lives, so it makes sense to keep posting there. Sharing public Natural Order links kills two birds with one stone: it simplifies the experience for potential traders, and indirectly invites them to join a platform that handles matches, prices, escrows, and meet-ups automatically.

How to share your collection or wishlist

  1. Go to your Collection or Wishlist in the dashboard.
  2. Tap the Share button (top right).
  3. A unique link is generated, like naturalorder.lat/c/a1b2c3d4.
  4. Copy it to the clipboard, share it via any messaging app, or use your phone's native share button.

The link stays active until you turn it off. You can toggle visibility on and off without losing the link itself. You can also see how many times it's been viewed, for a sense of reach.

If you'd rather share just some cards instead of your whole collection, switch to selection mode, pick the cards, and tap Share. A different link is generated with just that selection, and you can keep multiple links active for different groups or people.

What the person opening your link sees

It's not a flat text list. It's a full interface with everything they need to decide whether to trade:

  • Search by name — type “Sheoldred” and it filters across hundreds of cards instantly.
  • Color filters — tap a mana symbol and see only cards of that color (or multicolor, colorless).
  • Discounted price — each card shows the price set by the owner, with their discount already applied. TCGPlayer or Card Kingdom reference price as a comparison.
  • Condition for each card — NM, LP, MP, HP, or DMG, visible on every entry. No surprises.
  • Printing, language, and foil — set code, language flag if not English, foil badge.
  • Grid or list view — binder mode with large images, or compact table with mana cost and details.
  • Local-currency prices — toggle USD against the local currency with an up-to-date exchange rate, for users who prefer to think in their own money.

From browsing to trading in one step

Here's the real difference vs. sharing a photo or a Moxfield link. The person browsing your collection can select the cards they want and create a trade with a single button. The cards are added to their wishlist and a match is automatically generated between the two of you.

If the person doesn't have an account, they sign up and the cards they selected are imported into their wishlist automatically when they finish. No friction, no losing the selection.

From that point on, the trade shows up on both dashboards with every card, every price, and the built-in chat to coordinate. No more bouncing between messaging apps gathering screenshots.

Location and reservation management

When you share your collection in a big group, multiple people usually want the same cards. In a chat that's chaos: “I asked first”, screenshots with timestamps, confusion.

On Natural Order, every trade that arrives via your link lands as a separate match in your dashboard. You can see at a glance who wants what, how many cards overlap between trades, and each counterpart's location to decide who you'd rather close with first.

When you confirm a trade, the cards involved enter reservation for 15 days. During that window, those cards are locked and can't be assigned to another trade. That avoids the classic “sorry, already sold” and gives both sides peace of mind.

If the trade is cancelled or expires, the cards become available again automatically.

Works with your wishlist too

Same concept, in reverse. Share your wishlist and anyone who has those cards can put a trade together with you directly. The link offers the same search, filters, and trade-creation option.

The wishlist link looks like naturalorder.lat/w/a1b2c3d4. Same Share button, same mechanic.
