Tap one card.
From kitchen-table 2-player Standard to a four-seat Commander pod, every preset configures starting life, player count, and layout in a single tap.
Section 01
Built for the table
Everything an MTG player actually tracks.
Poison, commander damage, Monarch, Initiative, Day/Night, Storm, the Ring tempts you — every mechanic in its own drawer with a one-tap explainer.
Section 02
01
Active turn glow
The active player's panel pulses with a glowing border and a "YOUR TURN" pill in the corner. Spacebar passes priority. Eliminated players are skipped automatically.
02
Poison & commander damage
Counters that auto-detect lethal — 10 poison or 21 from any single commander marks the player eliminated. The commander-damage matrix tracks every opponent separately.
03
Set-specific counters
Energy, experience, rad, tickets, Ring level, Monarch, Initiative, Day/Night, Storm — every modern mechanic with a help button explaining when to use it.
04
Coin, dice, random first
Animated coin flip for cards like Krark's Thumb. D6 and D20 rollers. Random first-player picker that actually sets the active player.
05
Fullscreen table mode
Lay the device flat on the table, hit fullscreen, each player reads their life from their side. Player 1 panel rotates 180° on mobile so the upside-down seat reads right-side-up.
06
Per-turn history
Every life change, poison tick, and counter update logged and grouped by turn with the active player stamped on each section. Live-updates as actions happen.
Pro
Save your games. Sync across devices.
Pick up a Commander pod on your tablet after starting on your phone. Hand a co-scorer link to a teammate. Review every game you've ever played, turn by turn.
Section 03
Cloud auto-save
Every action syncs in real time. Close the tab, open it on any device — your active game is right where you left it.
Co-scorer share links
Generate a named edit link for a teammate's phone. They tap their own life from their side; you both see the same game state. Spectator (read-only) links too.
Per-turn timeline
Drill into any past game and see what happened on each turn — life changes, poison ticks, who attacked whom — with attribution back to the device that made the change.
Game-history dashboard
Filter by format, see total games, favorite format, share-link counts. The foundation for per-deck stats that ship next.
Cloud sync requires a Pro account. The free version saves locally to your browser.
Quickstart
Tap less. Play more.
From cold start to your first life change in under five seconds — and from there, every common action is a single tap or a single keystroke.
Section 04
01
Pick a format
Standard, Commander, Brawl, 2HG — each preset auto-sets starting life and player count. Or hit the player-count buttons to add a 3rd or 4th seat without losing your scores.
02
Tap to change life
Top half of a panel = +1 life. Bottom half = −1. The ±1 / ±5 / ±10 buttons handle bigger swings. Hold any button to repeat. Player names are inline-editable.
03
Pass the turn
The active player's panel glows. Hit "End Turn" inside the panel — or just press spacebar. The next non-eliminated player lights up, and turn count ticks when the round wraps.
04
Go fullscreen
Tap the fullscreen button. Lay the device flat on the table. Player 1's panel rotates 180° on mobile so the player on the other side reads their life right-side-up.
