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 →

TurnZero HQ life total and Commander damage tracker running during a live Commander game

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 quietly times every game, so you know how long games actually 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, not just 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.
