TCG Warden
MTG Life Counter For Up To 6
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
One device. The whole table.
TCG Warden is a fast, distraction-free life counter for trading card games, built for the way you actually play at the kitchen table. Set it in the middle, and every player gets their own seat with each card rotated to face them, so the numbers read right-side up no matter where they sit.
Built for Commander (and every pod size)
Play with 1 to 6 players and pick the seating that matches your table — side-by-side, across, 2v2, 3v3, pinwheel, and more. Everyone taps their own corner. No passing the phone around.
Track everything that matters
• Life totals with big, tap-to-adjust +/− controls (long-press for ±10)
• Commander damage — auto-flags a knockout at 21 from a single opponent
• Poison counters — out at 10
• Treasure and any custom counter you invent, with your own emoji and label
• A rolling life-change toast that shows the net swing of a big turn
Never lose track
• Per-player history log of every life change, tagged by cause (combat, commander damage, board wipe)
• One-tap Undo to roll back a misfire — commander totals stay in sync
• Automatic knockout detection dims dead seats and skips them on the turn cycle
• "Each opponent loses N" for a board-wide burn in one tap
Little touches that add up
• First-player picker with a slot-machine roll to settle who goes first
• Turn tracking that steps around eliminated players
• Assign each seat an identity color so the pod stays readable at a glance
• Adjustable starting life and text size
• Screen stays awake during a game — no more waking your phone every turn
• One Player Mode: give everyone their own device, each tracking their own seat
Yours, offline, no clutter
No account. No ads. No internet required. Everything lives on your device and picks up right where you left off — your game is still there when you come back.
Sit down, shuffle up, and let TCG Warden keep score.
