Life Counter is here. Track your games right inside Archivist — 2 to 6 players, Commander or standard starting life, commander damage and poison, player elimination, and a “who goes first?” roll. Flip on win-rate tracking to log your matches by commander. Grid view. Browse your library, decks, and locations as a wall of card art — tap the new list/grid button on any of those screens to switch. Smarter printing matching. When a scan isn’t sure which version of a card you have, Archivist now flags it and lets you pick the exact set in a tap, so your prices and art stay accurate. Faster, more reliable scanning and sync, including better handling of double-faced and split cards.
