9 years ago That's exactly the issue that I came to the site to address. After my wife and I went through her Hearthstone collection a few days ago, I saw how just one single expansion made the process much more tedious than before.
I think that it could be a ~relatively~ simple solution. If you gave each rarity column its own row of mana cost, in essence keeping all the same cost cards together. Of course the common card will always make the epic and legendary cards appear to have gaps going from the 2 cost cards to the 3 cost cards, but that's alright because it means less scrolling up and down while putting in our cards.
In the example below, the columns are (C)ommon, (R)are, (E)pic & (L)egendary, and the numbers are the cost of the card (This is just a visual example, and I know there are no 1 cost legendary cards), here's how it might look.
C R E L 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3
Another option would be similar to the example above, but arranged alphabetically. It might look like this.
C R E L
1 1
1 1 1
1 1 1
1
2 2 2
2 2 2 2
2 2
2 2
3 3 3
3 3 3
3 3
3 3 3 3
Any thoughts?

As more cards are added to the game, tracker becomes longer and longer. Adding an option to hide free cards and instead list common cards over two columns could help, since they take up the most space.
Possibly add filtering by card rarity and display the cards over all five columns to make them easier to see all at once, instead of having to scroll a lot.
Another option would be to make the tracker more compact by decreasing font or list item sizes, but readability will instead suffer. Currently no great solution, will have to figure something out.
