Play Commander online, your way

What does the virtual tabletop support?

Drag cards between every zone you expect. Tap, flip, transform, attach, counter, token, and target. Clean animations and a layout that keeps the board readable even when it gets busy.

• All the zones Hand, Battlefield, Graveyard, Exile, Library, Command Zone, and a dedicated Stack zone.
• Tap, flip, transform, phase Clean flip and transform on double-faced cards. Phase-out and phase-in fully supported.
• Equipment and aura attachments Attached cards live on a dedicated shelf next to the creature they enchant.
• Marquee select Drag-select multiple permanents and tap, move, or token them at once.
• Target arrows Draw arrows on screen so the whole table sees what you are pointing at.
• Hidden information enforced Morph, disguise, manifest, and foretell stay face down. Face-down exile with per-player reveal permissions, and the server keeps hidden zones hidden.

Every player sees the cards in their own language

Pick a card language in the board settings and the table changes just for you. Card images become translated printings, and the card detail view and deck search follow. Everyone else at the table keeps their own language. Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Chinese in both scripts. Any card without a translated printing stays in English.

One card, as each seat sees it:

Which decks can I import?

Import from Archidekt or Moxfield and your decks are ready to play. Primers expand inline on the lobby card so the rest of the table can read what you are bringing. If you just want to paste in a decklist that's always an option as well.

Test a brew before you bring it to the table

Start a solo session and goldfish any deck: draw, mulligan, play out your turns, undo freely. No opponents needed, and no account needed to try it. Then turn on Sparring and the empty seat starts fighting back.

• Phantom opponents that react A phantom opponent counters your spells, removes your threats, and wraths your board, at a cadence measured from thousands of real recorded games.
• Light, Realistic, or Cutthroat Pick how hard the table pushes back. Off by default, so a plain goldfish stays a plain goldfish.
• Every reaction explains itself When something fires, you are told why, and you decide whether you had an answer for it.

The game does not disappear when it ends

Rewatch any finished game move by move. Step through every play from turn zero, or hit play and let it run to the exact board the game ended on. Replays are full reveal, so you finally get to see what everyone was holding, what they drew, and the answer they never found.

• One Supporter unlocks the whole pod If any one player at the table has a Supporter Pack, that game's replay unlocks for everyone who played it. You do not need to pay to rewatch your own games, as long as someone at the table chipped in.
• Anyone can watch a public game No account needed to spectate. Pull up a chair, and pinch-zoom any card to read it, on a phone as well as a desktop.
• Listen in, or ask to speak Join the table's voice chat to follow along. Log in and ask to speak, and the host can put you on the mic. Players see who is watching.

Every game counts toward your stats

Playgroup Live runs on the same platform as the Playgroup.gg tracker app. Same account, same playgroup, same data. Play online or at the kitchen table, everything lands in one place.

• ELO leaderboards Update the moment a game ends.
• Per-deck stats Win rate, estimated power level, and arch-enemies.
• Achievements & history Roll in automatically, no manual logging required.
• Playscore leagues Run a season across Live games and in-person games together.
• Global player leaderboard Play pickup games against strangers and watch your global rank move on the result screen.
• Rate the Table When a game ends, the group picks the winner, records how it was won, rates the game for fun, salts the decks that earned it, and crowns a Card of the Game.

Know which cards are pulling their weight

Card Insights tracks every card you draw, cast, and win with across real games, then tells you what to cut and what to keep. The more you play, the sharper the recommendations get.

Looking for an MTG Commander simulator?

Playgroup Live is a full Commander simulator that runs in your browser. It simulates the whole game: every zone, the stack, commander damage, tokens, and hidden information the server keeps hidden. Practice a deck solo against a Sparring phantom opponent, or sit a real 2 to 6 player pod with voice chat. Nothing to download, and the solo simulator needs no account.
