Hey EDH/Commander peeps! 👋
Ever get stomped in a game because your deck was way too strong (or embarrassingly weak)? Yeah, we've all been there. That's why I built MTGThing!
MTGThing is a little web app designed to help you figure out the power level of your Commander decks accurately. I know, I know, Moxfield and Archidekt are cool, but their power level stuff always felt kinda... vague.
Here's the deal with MTGThing:
Actually Precise: It uses established power level brackets to give you a way better idea of where your deck sits.
Super Shareable: Show off your decklist and power level to your friends, or get feedback.
Save Your Decks: Keep track of all your creations in one place.
Stats at a Glance: Get a quick overview of your deck's key stats.
I built this because I was tired of the guesswork. Early feedback has been awesome (people are saying it's way more accurate!), but I really need more decks in the system to make it even better.
So, if you're into EDH/Commander, give MTGThing a spin at http://mtgthing.com/! Let me know what you think – your feedback will directly help make this thing even more useful for all of us!
