Every life counter session auto-saves as a match. See your win rate, matchups, and trends over time — no manual logging.
Full Commander Damage
Not just "who attacked" — a complete matrix of commander damage between all players. 21-damage lethal is tracked automatically.
Feeds Into Leagues
Running a Commander league? Life counter matches count toward standings, ELO, and EP — automatically.
