Everything you need to run Commander night.
This page is the full inventory, before, during, between and after every game. If you would rather have the short version: TurnZero HQ makes your decks stronger, settles whose deck is best in your group, and keeps your whole collection in your pocket. Start there instead →
Before the Game
Set the table in seconds.
Get your pod locked in before a single life total moves.
Set Your Pod
Add players to the night and drop them into pods in a couple of taps. Supports 1v1 duels, classic multiplayer FFA up to six players, and Two-Headed Giant.
Choose Your Deck
Pick which Commander deck you're bringing to the table before each game, so it's tied to every result that follows.
Start the Gathering
Kick off the night with a join code so the rest of your playgroup can hop into the same gathering.
During the Game
Everything you need at the table.
A Commander damage tracker and life counter built for any pod size, from 1v1 up to six-player and Two-Headed Giant, not a generic tally app.
Fast Life Tracking
Tap or drag to change life totals instantly. Big, readable numbers built to be seen across the table, not squinted at.
Commander Damage
Track Commander damage separately from life loss, broken out by attacker, so lethal Commander damage is never a surprise.
Game Timer
TurnZero HQ times every game automatically, so you know how long games take and can compare pace night to night.
Round Counter
Turns are tracked automatically as the game moves around the table, giving every action a round number for later recaps.
Between Games
This is where TurnZero HQ is different.
Most life trackers forget everything the moment a game ends. TurnZero HQ connects every game in a gathering together, so the night itself has a story and a scoreboard.
See Who's Winning the Night
TurnZero HQ connects every game in a gathering together, so you get a live standings list of wins, losses and win rate for the whole night rather than only the last game.
Deck Tracking
Every deck earns its own rating from its wins and losses. See which deck is carrying your playgroup, which one needs a rebuild, and what everyone brought tonight.
Pod Statistics
Games played, total damage dealt, and who's dealing it: TurnZero HQ keeps a running tally for the whole gathering so bragging rights are backed by numbers.
After the Night
The night doesn't end when the games do.
AI Night Recap
TurnZero HQ can turn a night's worth of games into a short, readable recap of who dominated, who clawed back, and who finally broke a losing streak.
Night History
Every past gathering stays on record, with winners, decks played, standout moments and recaps, so your playgroup's history never gets lost to a forgotten notepad.
Example AI Night Recap
“Sarah dominated early with Atraxa, but Mike fought back in Game 3 with Goblins. Josh finally broke his losing streak in the final game.”
Every Table, Every Pod Size
Commander is our focus. Every pod size is supported.
Every pod size: 1v1 duels, three-player, the classic four-player free-for-all, five and six-player tables, and Two-Headed Giant with shared team life totals and team turns.
Commander is where TurnZero HQ runs deepest today: life totals, Commander damage, deck MMR, and AI night recaps are all built around it.
Support for other Magic formats, starting with Draft, is actively expanding beyond Commander.
Made for the weekly playgroup that plays the same night, at the same table, every time.
Why TurnZero HQ
Built to do more than count life.
Every row below is a thing that stops existing the moment a dedicated life counter closes. Together they are the reason your decks can have ratings and your group can have a leaderboard at all.
How to use TurnZero HQ
Go deeper on any of it.
Full write-ups on how each part of the app actually works, and why it's built the way it is. Start with running a night and the board it sits on, then work outward.
Gatherings
One evening with a roster, a join code, combined standings and a recap, with room for guests who don't have an account and aren't making one tonight.
FeatureThe Game Board
A tile per seat, damage dealt by dragging from the source to the target, commander damage on chips carrying the commander's own art, and counters for whatever your table needs counting.
FeaturePlanechase & Archenemy
The planar deck and the die with its escalating cost, the current plane face up with its rules text, and one seat playing schemes against everyone else.
FeatureThe Night Feed
Moments logged with the round and the cards that did it, epic turns pushed to the whole room, and the reactions and replies that make a night more than a scoreboard.
FeatureImporting a Deck
Six ways in without typing ninety-nine card names: paste an Archidekt, Moxfield or Manabox link, pick the precon you bought, start from a commander, or scan the pile.
FeatureDeck Versions
A day's building recorded with the exact cards added and removed, so the question of when a deck stopped winning has somewhere to be answered.
FeatureTrades
Your pile against theirs, priced at the printings actually changing hands, with nothing written to either collection until the cards move.
Premium FeatureBoard State
Snap a photo of the board each round and let AI build a confirmed, round-by-round record of what actually won you the game.
Premium FeaturePersonal Mode
Full life tracking, a turn timer, and Board State, scoped to your side of the table, even when the rest of the pod isn't running the app.
FeatureAsk TurnZero
Ask a Magic question in your own words. On this site it finds the guide that answers it; in the app it answers from your own decks, games and gatherings.
FeatureRulings
Check a rules question mid-game and get a judge-style outcome, explanation, and cited sources, then keep it on record for next time.
FeaturePhase Coach
Tick who's learning, and on their turn the far side of the board lays out every phase and step, with what to do in each.
FeatureDeck Builder
Build a Commander deck against targets: lands, ramp, removal, draw and curve, each shown as a gauge that moves as you add cards.
FeatureCard Scanner
Scan a card, or a whole stack of them, straight into the deck you're building, with no typing card names one at a time.
FeatureMy Library
Every card you own in one inventory, whether it's built into a deck, scanned in, or logged by hand, with folders and total value.
FeatureRate My Deck
An AI bracket estimate for any decklist, with specific suggestions for tightening it up, before you've played a single game.
FeatureDeck MMR
An Elo-style rating for every deck, earned entirely from real wins and losses, split by version so a rebuild gets a clean slate.
FeatureAchievements & Streaks
A weekly play streak that survives a missed night, and thirty-five badges earned from the games, decks and cards already on your account. The first rung of seven of those badges is the app's learn-the-app checklist.
FeaturePod Leaderboards
One combined standings race for a whole night, even one that splits across several pods running at once.
FeatureTV Mode
A join code in any browser puts the night on a wall: live life totals table by table, the QR to join, a round clock, and a callout when somebody gets knocked out.
FeatureGame Timers
A running turn clock for ordinary games, and a Swiss-round clock built for a draft night's real tournament rules.
FeaturePractice Draft
Draft a whole set on your own against seven bots: three packs, forty-five picks, and a graded summary naming the picks that cost you the most.

How a night's worth of games becomes a short, readable story, in one of five narrator voices.
