## What is TCG Guilds?

TCG Guilds is a deck simulator, card scanner and local trade finder for Magic: The Gathering Commander players. One collection, on iPhone and on the web.

BUILD FROM A PRECON
Search 165 ready-made Commander decks by set, precon or commander. Pick one and it lands as a real deck with the product's exact printings, ready to make your own. Or paste a list from Moxfield or Archidekt.

PLAY IT BEFORE GAME NIGHT
Game Sim plays your exact list out 1,500 times under casual, high-power or cEDH assumptions and scores it on speed, consistency, interaction and focus. Every turn shows the odds: mana to spend, lands hit, commander on the battlefield, engines up and running. A plain-English read tells you what to fix first.

SCAN YOUR CARDS
Point the camera at a card — sleeved, in a binder page, under shop lighting. Each card is read, matched to its set, printing and price, and saved only when you confirm. Voice logging and CSV import too.

FIND TRADES NEARBY
Join a guild — your playgroup or your local game store — and TCG Guilds reads every guildmate's shelf against every one of your decks, in both directions. Arrange it in the app and swap in person. Nothing ships, nobody holds your cards, there is no cut.

KNOW YOUR COLLECTION
Value, counts, printings, and which deck or binder holds each copy. Free for your first 3,500 cards and 5 decks.

Premium lifts the caps for $3.99/month or $39.99/year, billed through the App Store.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.6.1 — 2026-09-07

Hotfixing quality of life issues in scanner
- No more duplicate card scans
- Easier queue confirmation
- Swipe left and right on card details to see the next card in the stack. (Just like a real stack of cards!)

### 1.6.0 — 2026-09-04

Your collection now says where it lives.
- Every card names its place or the deck it is sleeved in. Filter All, In decks, Unsorted, or a box, then Move to… files a card — or a whole pile — without leaving the list. Deleting a place asks where those cards should go. Collection is just the cards you own.

History of what came in.
- On Scan, History groups your scans and imports into batches. Tap one to jump into Collection with just those cards — fix printings, move them, or Remove all if the pile was a mistake.

Scanning names the version.
- A full-art basic land lands on its own set instead of a random lookalike. Imports keep the binder, set, foil, and condition from the file. Binder dumps group under those names; each group can land as a location or as a deck list.

Works without a signal.
- Stay signed in on a plane. Sign In and Deck Building still open from what was last on the phone. Trades, Scan, and Guilds stay honest about needing a connection.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-08-31

Trades that finish
Trades in motion lists every partner you have an open hand with. Inside, the cards split into Trading (agreed, on the table) and Wants (not moved up yet), with trade talk always underneath. Conclude trade records what actually changed hands — pick the cards and copies from each side, cash prefilled with the estimated value difference.

Add cards
Open it and suggestions are already there — no default search, and adding no longer repaints the screen. Tap art or a name for a big readable face with Main / Sideboard / Want. After an add, Similar to that card offers near neighbors. Grid is the default, and a second tap takes a capped copy back off.

Better suggestions
Suggestions now answer what your deck is short on. Creature types match both ways, themes get named ("leans into landfall"), lands ride in the same shelf, and cards we can model carry a receipt: "Cast by turn 3 in 62% of simulated games."

Game Sim
Opponents apply real pressure and you have life to lose, and the same deck gives the same numbers run to run. Cost reducers no longer make green creatures free.

Guilds
Admins can change who can join — and the city — after the guild exists. Members shows a red count while requests wait. Find a guild near you stays on the hub, and typing a city browses that city.

Also
Card art loads faster. A collection card shows one centered, readable face. One view toggle everywhere. Commander search finds last-name helms like Beledros Witherbloom.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-08-24

THE BIG ONE! 

Revamps to how Game Plan detects and displays your deck primer. Use this to understand lists and check that your lists work as expected. 
This comes with a drastic improvement in power level estimation.
