## What is MTG Picker?

English (U.S.)
MTG Picker is the companion app for your card game nights: a fast life counter, ranked games at the table, tournaments you can join or run yourself, your collection and decks, and trades in person — all in one place.

LIFE COUNTER
• 2 to 4 players, each facing their own side of the table
• See the running total of a burst of damage ("−7") as you tap
• Commander damage per opponent, poison counters and lethal warnings
• Names per player, d20, 2d6, coin flip and "who starts"
• Your game is saved automatically and the screen stays awake

RANKED AT THE TABLE
• Challenge the player in front of you: show a QR, they scan it, the game starts
• Choose format, best of one or three, and the round clock
• Report the result, your opponent confirms, and both Picker ELO ratings update
• Rematches within two hours are played but not rated, so ratings stay fair

TOURNAMENTS
• Find local and online tournaments, register and check in
• Run your own: pick the format, the Swiss rounds and the top cut, invite players, then pair each round and confirm results from your phone
• Game mode: your table, your opponent, the round clock and a life counter
• Push notifications when the next round is paired

COLLECTION, DECKS AND TRADING
• Add cards by passing them under the camera — no photos to take, it reads each card live
• Build a deck the same way, add basic lands and save it
• Instant trade at the table: scan each other's QR, pick what you give, and the cards move from one collection to the other — with what each side's cards are worth
• Browse every set and card, and find players who have the cards you want

PICKER PASS (optional)
• No ads, Ranked stats (rating history, head-to-head, record by format), the Picker ELO badge and collection space for up to 3,000 cards
• Monthly or yearly subscription

LIFE COUNTER THEMES (one-time purchase)
• Mana, Neon, Parchment and Monochrome boards, player colours, bigger life totals, and animated dice you can roll by shaking your phone

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-26

• Weekly online tournaments, now playable from the app: choose your deck (or a Commander precon) and register in one tap. The app checks the deck's legality and budget for you.
• Reminders that matter: a notification when check-in opens, when your opponent reports a result for you to confirm, and a Sunday summary of your ranked week.
• Price alerts: tap "Alert me when the price moves" on any card and get a notification when it moves 10% or more.
• Ranked: tell the app which deck you played, and Ranked stats (Picker Pass) shows your record with each one.
• New game in the Life Counter now starts a fresh game with a short full-screen ad, and banners moved into the lists instead of the very bottom.
• A quick first-launch tour, and fixes: the set gallery shows two cards per row.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-23

- New Picker rank: your Picker ELO now has five tiers, Bronze to Diamond, with an animated result after every ranked game.
- Rank colours: the Life Counter swords take the colour of your tier.
- Seasons: ranked play now runs in seasons, one per Magic set release, with a trophy for the rank you finish each one on. A welcome screen shows your rank and when a new season starts.
- Trading: the trade summary now shows who pays whom.
- Deck builder: fixes to the Next button. Tournaments: organisers can delete a tournament before it starts. Gallery: colour and rarity filters work again.
- Stability: compatibility with iOS 27.
