No game of Commander is complete without Moxtopper on your table. EASY TO USE • Keep track of every player’s life total with tasty text and chonky buttons. • The user interface is designed to be usable from all viewing directions. Just place your iPhone or iPad in the middle of your play surface and you’re good to go. • Multiple-touch support. Your whole play group can use it at the same time. TRACKS COMMANDER DAMAGE • We know that tracking commander damage is a *huge* pain. With Moxtopper, it couldn’t be easier. At any time a player can swipe horizontally on their play area to see how much commander damage they’ve taken from all the other players’ commanders. • Commander damage is tracked per *commander*, so it works great with partner commanders, too! • If you’re using partner commanders, just swipe down on your play area and press the “Partners” button to toggle partner commander mode on or off. GREAT FOR EVERY PLAY GROUP • Moxtopper is optimized to work great not just for 4 player games, but also for any game of 1 to 10 — yes, ten! — players. That means it’s right at home during one-on-one games of Friday Night Magic as well as gigantic Multiplayer Planechase House Rules Banlist Slugfests. • Configurable with a total of 32 possible seating arrangements so that layout of play areas on the screen always comfortably matches the way your play group likes to sit around the table. UPGRADE YOUR EXPERIENCE • Customize each player’s area with awesome digital “playmats”, similarly to how you are probably rolling out full art playmats on your game table in real life. • Comes with five free digital playmats • Additional digital playmats can be unlocked via in-app purchases, including one that lets you import any photo you want from your Photos library. Thanks ahead of time for supporting Moxtopper through these must-have upgrades! • In addition to the playmats, there are bonus themes in fun, readable colors. OTHER COOL FEATURES • STATS-S-S-S-S-S — Keep track of in-game numbers like commander tax, infect, storm, experience, energy, mana pools, and more using the player options menu (swipe down on your player to see these options). • TURN CLOCKS — Turn on Turn Clocks to help folks stay mindful of how long their turns are. Just like chess clocks, they tick down the seconds from your customizable start time. Moxtopper ensures only one player can be active at a time. • AIRPLAY — Stream your game locally via AirPlay to a compatible Apple TV by enabling Screen Mirror and using the app like you normally would. Great for going top-eight at your Local Game Store! • CHARTS — Share and remember your splashiest games with cool charts that show the roller coaster ride of life totals as they change over the course of a game. Requires iOS/iPadOS 16 or later. • HIGH ROLL — Save time by high-rolling to see who plays first with just a single tap. • APP ICONS — Bling out your homescreen with a bunch of alternate app icons. • SCRYFALL — Scryfall search box integrated into the main options menu. • MADE BY A FAN — Moxtopper is made by a fan of the game, just one guy (me, the one writing this, howdy) who really really likes artisanal, hand-made, bespoke, fussy, delightful little apps with big dreams. Seriously I appreciate all the support ya’ll send my way. WHAT IS COMMANDER? Just in case you didn’t already know, in the “Commander” format of Magic: the Gathering, you and your friends battle each other with legendary creatures, huge decks of crazy cards, making splashy plays until there’s only one player left standing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Moxtopper at 4.6 against Deckforger's 3.8. Moxtopper also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 17) and review sentiment (88% vs 67%). Deckforger's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
