2026 Comparison
Best MTG Deckbuilding Apps & Websites
The short answer: TurnZero HQ is our pick, free on iOS, Android and the web. It builds the 100 by search, camera scan or import, measures the lands, ramp, removal, draw, interaction and curve against targets while you edit, and then does the thing every other tool here stops short of — tells you whether the version you just built is beating the version you retired. Moxfield, Archidekt, TappedOut, EDHREC and Command Tower are all worth knowing and each is stronger at one job: speed, visual organization, community archive, card recommendations, or collection and price tracking bundled in.
Our pick
TurnZero HQ
Best for building against targets, then finding out whether the rebuild worked
TurnZero HQ's Deck Lab is a full Commander deck builder: search, camera scanning (one card or a whole stack at once), imports from Archidekt, Moxfield and Manabox, and a sideboard and wishlist kept beside the 100. What makes it different from the rest of this list is that the deck measures itself while you build. Lands, ramp, removal, draw, interaction and the curve are drawn as gauges against targets from an archetype template you can retune, and a bracket estimate moves as cards go in. Card pricing and collection tracking now live in My Library, and published decks get a public page, though both are newer and smaller here than on a dedicated deck site. What it has that none of the others do is the other half of the loop: every save snapshots a version, and every game is tagged with the version that was on the table, so win rate and MMR split per version. When you swap eight cards, you find out whether it helped. Its MCP server hands that history to Claude and other AI assistants, so you can ask an AI to tune the 99 against results rather than theory.

Best for a fast, clean, widely-used deckbuilder
Moxfield is a free, browser-based deckbuilder that's become one of the most widely used in Commander: fast card search, collection tracking, price integration, and a large public deck database to browse and copy from. It's the closest thing the format has to a default.
Archidekt
Best for visual, tag-heavy deck organization
Archidekt leans into visual deck organization (custom card tags, categories, and a strong stats/curve view) on top of the standard deckbuilding and pricing feature set. Popular with players who like to see a deck's shape at a glance, not just a list.
TappedOut
Best for one of the oldest, deepest community archives
TappedOut has been around long enough to have one of the largest archives of public decklists and community discussion in Magic. The interface shows its age next to newer tools, but the sheer volume of browsable decks and combo/synergy data is hard to match.
EDHREC
Best for card recommendations and synergy data
EDHREC isn't really a deckbuilder in the traditional sense. It's a recommendation engine, aggregating what cards actually get played alongside a given commander across thousands of real decklists. Most players use it alongside a deckbuilder, not instead of one, to find cards they wouldn't have thought of.
Command Tower
Best for a bracket estimate and collection/price tracking bundled in
Command Tower bundles deckbuilding with a bracket advisor (estimating where a list sits on the official 1-5 scale), collection and price tracking, and a solo playtest simulator. Free tier plus a $4/month Pro tier, browser-based with no iOS/Android app.
How to Actually Choose
If you'd rather scan the cards already in your hand than search for them one at a time, and want the deck's ramp, removal, draw and curve measured against targets while you build rather than counted by hand afterwards, start with TurnZero HQ's Deck Lab → — it's the same app that then tracks the games the deck plays, which is the half nothing else on this page has. If what you want is the deepest list-side toolset instead — a larger public deck database, or a collection tracker with a longer track record — Moxfield, Archidekt, or Command Tower will cover you, and which one comes down to interface preference more than features. If you're hunting for card ideas rather than building from scratch, EDHREC's synergy data is worth a look alongside whichever builder you use.
The Part Every Deckbuilder Is Missing
Every tool on this list is excellent at producing a list and silent about what happens next. You rebuild, you play for a month, and the only evidence you have that the rebuild worked is a feeling, because a deck's lifetime win rate blends every version of it under one name. The list you played in March and the one you play now are the same row in the table.
TurnZero HQ closes that loop. Each edit snapshots a version of the deck, every game is tagged with the version that was actually on the table, and results split per version, so "is this build better than the last one" has an answer rather than an opinion. Rate My Deck still gives you the bracket read from the list itself, before a game has been played, and deck MMR tracks the results side globally and within your own playgroup. Build wherever you like; the measuring is the part worth having somewhere else.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best free MTG deckbuilding app?
Our pick is TurnZero HQ, free on iOS, Android and the web: it builds the 100 by search, camera scan or import, measures it against archetype targets as you edit, and is the only one here that then tells you how each version performed at the table. Moxfield, Archidekt, TappedOut, and Command Tower are all free to use as of 2026 too (Command Tower gates some extras behind an optional $4/month Pro tier), and each is stronger at one thing: Moxfield for speed and a huge public deck database, Archidekt for visual organization, TappedOut for the deepest community archive, and Command Tower if you also want bracket scoring and price tracking bundled in.
Is EDHREC a deckbuilder?
Not exactly. It's a recommendation and synergy tool that shows what cards actually get played with a given commander across thousands of real decklists. Most players use it alongside a dedicated deckbuilder like Moxfield or Archidekt to find card ideas, rather than building a list inside EDHREC itself.
Does TurnZero HQ replace a deckbuilder like Moxfield or Command Tower?
For building and measuring a list, yes. TurnZero HQ's Deck Lab builds the 100 by search, camera scan or import, and shows the deck's lands, ramp, removal, draw, interaction and curve against targets while you edit. It also covers card pricing and collection tracking through My Library and has its own public deck pages, though both are newer and smaller than a dedicated deck site, so players who browse a deep archive of other people's lists before building tend to keep one open too. What it adds is the results side: version history, per-version win rates, and deck MMR from real games.
Which deckbuilding tool tells me if my rebuild actually worked?
None of the dedicated deckbuilders do, because they don't see your games. A decklist tool can score the list but can't know how it performed. TurnZero HQ snapshots a version of the deck on every edit and tags each game with the version that was played, so win rate and MMR split per version. That's how you tell a genuine improvement from a month of good draws.
Can I use TurnZero HQ alongside one of these deckbuilders?
Yes, and it's a common combination. Build and price a list in Moxfield, Archidekt, or Command Tower, then bring it to the table and let TurnZero HQ track what actually happens with it, including which version of the list was on the table for each game. TurnZero HQ's deck-detail view can read decklists straight from Archidekt, Moxfield, and Manabox for display.
