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.
