Smart folders work just like standard bookmark folders — but with a powerful twist. Instead of manually adding cards, you define rules once and Dex keeps the folder updated automatically. This means your lists stay organised, accurate, and always in sync with your collection.
Smart folders are perfect for creating your own custom “expansions” or themed sets. For example:
- Trick or Trade 2023 — track every card from a specific variant.
- Artist and Energy-based sets: list cards illustrated by a specific artist and matching a certain energy type.
Below are a few examples to help you get started:
Trick or Trade 2023
- Create a new Smart Bookmark Folder.
- Add a rule using the variant “Trick or Trade 2023”.
- Dex will automatically include all matching cards and track your progress
Darkness by Mitsuhiro Arita
Let’s now create a folder for all Darkness Pokémon cards drawn by Mitsuhiro Arita released internationally.
- Create a new Smart Bookmark Folder.
- Add a rule using the illustrator “Mitsuhiro Arita”.
- Add a rule using the energy type “Darkness”.
- Add a rule using the region “International”.
- Dex will automatically include all matching cards and track your progress
Smart folders make it easy to build and manage custom expansions tailored to your collection style. Whether you’re a casual collector or deeply invested in the TCG world, Dex gives you the flexibility to organise your collection your way.
