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 • Custom counters for anything else, with your own emoji and label • The Monarch, the Initiative, the Ring, and day/night — one holder at a time, passed on automatically when a holder is knocked out • A rolling life-change toast that shows the net swing of a big turn Rules and cards at your fingertips — offline • Search any card by name and read its official rulings, no signal required • Look up keywords and table rules, quoted from the Comprehensive Rules with rule numbers • Tap a keyword in a card's text to jump straight to its rule 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 • Undo a turn passed too early, turn timer and all • 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 • Hold the turn button for a quick wheel: pause, undo turn, share the game, reset • Pause the game clock when the pizza arrives — breaks don't count against anyone's turn • First-player picker with a slot-machine roll to settle who goes first • Turn tracking that steps around eliminated players • Every seat gets its own 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, and pass a game between devices with a QR code 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.

Big update for game night: • Card search, fully offline: look up any card by name and read its official rulings, no signal needed. Keywords in the card text link straight to their rules. • Rules, keywords and card search now share one button in Settings and the player manager. • Table designations: track the Monarch, the Initiative, the Ring and day/night. One holder at a time, and if the Monarch or Initiative holder is knocked out, it passes on automatically. • Turn wheel: hold the turn button for Pause/Resume, Undo turn, Show game and Receive game (QR), and Reset. • Pause the game clock: pizza's here? Pause, eat, resume. The break doesn't count toward anyone's turn time. • Undo turn: passed by mistake? Take it back, and the turn timer is restored too. • "Each opponent −1" moved into each player's manager, so it works on anyone's turn and shows everyone's life as you go. • Seats start with distinct colors. • Fixed a launch crash on iOS 27, fixed 3-player seating so turns go clockwise, and other fixes.
