## What is MTG?

Feedback: falinkazstudios@gmail.com
EVERYTHING A TABLE OF COMMANDER *WITH FRIENDS* NEEDS. NOTHING IT DOESN'T.


MTG-OS turns your iPhone / iPad into the command center your Commander games have been missing. No more dice towers knocking over life totals. No more "wait, how much Commander damage have I taken from Sarah?" No more squinting at cramped phone screens.



Life tracking for 2-4 players (because who actually plays 5-player pods?)
Full Commander damage matrix - see who's gunning for you at a glance
Poison counters that actually make sense
All 10 guild color themes plus mono-colors (yes, even Selesnya)

ACTUALLY DESIGNED FOR REAL GAMES
MTG-OS adapts to your table. 1v1? Three-player chaos? Full pod? The layout just works. Rotate your iPad and everything stays readable.
Tap-streak detection means going from 40 to 0 doesn't require 40 taps (RIP to that Voltron player). Toggle to Commander damage view in one tap when someone asks "how much have I taken from the Urza one?"

THE GOOD STUFF
- Fullscreen mode (because ads during your combo turn are the worst)
- Customizable player names up to 15 characters (finally enough space for "Ken Who Removes")
- Smooth as a freshly sleeved deck
- Big, readable numbers visible across the table
- Beautiful, intuitive poison counters that are always visible (unless you don't want them to)
- Built by Commander players who know the pain of tracking 12 different damage sources
- Random Opponent selector to let fate decide who to attack

FREE FOREVER
Zero subscriptions. Zero paywalls. Zero microtransactions for "premium life counters" or whatever nonsense other apps are selling. Ads keep it free.

BUILT FOR:
Your LGS Commander night. Kitchen table chaos. That competitive pod where everyone tracks everything. Tournament grinding. Anywhere four players are shuffling up. Download MTG-OS and play it cool!

Note: iPhone and iPad optimized.

Feedback: falinkazstudios@gmail.com

### 2.1.1 — 2026-07-23

Your music no longer gets murdered when you open the app. Spotify and friends now play on, and death sounds duck politely over them.
Fixed a crash when several players died in quick succession. The soundboard can now handle a board wipe.
Editing a player's name in landscape no longer hides the close button behind the keyboard. On smaller screens, the dialog now gets out of its own way while you type.
Rapid life changes land more reliably: machine-gunning −1 during a big combat no longer eats taps.
Assorted polish: cleaner focus states, snappier life taps at full tables, smaller download
