My pod kept forgetting who won what and wanted to have some insights about our games, so I made a free, open source life tracker that saves every game

Our playgroup had the usual problem. We’d play a great game, and a week later someone asks “wait, who won last time?”, "what is the most winning deck", "who is the best player in the pod?" and nobody knows. I tried a spreadsheet for a while and I was the only one who ever filled it in.

So I made an app where the game itself is the data entry. You track life and commander damage on one phone or tablet in the middle of the table (infect and 2 to 6 players work too), and when it ends the match gets saved with the decks, the commanders and how it ended: last one standing, combo, concession, an alt win card, or a draw.

After a few weeks you get rankings for players, decks and commanders, plus some silly group awards like fastest win and best comeback. Decks import from Moxfield or Archidekt with a link, or added without a link just selecting commander.

It’s called 21Life. Honest status: only my pod of 10 has used it so far, about 200 games. It needs an internet connection, there’s a web version and an Android build, and no iOS yet. The code is MIT on GitHub if you want to look: GITHUB LINK. App: DOWNLOAD LATEST RELEASE

What I’d actually like to know: do your pods track on one device in the middle of the table, or does everyone use their own phone? And what’s the one thing trackers like this always get wrong for you?

Would be really glad if you choose to try my app, i'm just looking for people to share it with.

Thank you all!

Tips for config

Hi, new here. Sorry for the boring question but I didn't find any accurate and recent info about that.

I'm quite new into specs driven and vibe coiding and I'd like to configure reasonix with deepseek in the best possible way for the objective.

How should i configure it? Which version? any tips for that?

thank you

[TOOL] Match tracker for EDH need TESTERS!!

Hi all,

I created a web app to track my playgroup edh matches as a side project and I'm writing here both to share it and to look for testers!

A Beta is almost complete, or at least has the basic functions I wanted to add.

YOU FIND IT HERE: Phyrexian Arena

Setup guide:

- Create at least 1 account (ideally the player who wants to track down the matches)

- Create 1 "Arena" which is the playgroup table. Can be a one night session or your usual playgroup. If you have a "weekly commander night" I suggest to add all the people which plays with you to give value to the stats

- Invite other people into the Arena (each one has to create an account and join inserting the code) or create guests which you will manage on your own

- Add decks to your profile in 3 ways: Moxfield/Archidekt direct link import (no private), archidekt profile bulk import, simple creation (no link to list in this case). N.B.: for guests only last option will be active.

- Start tracking matches into the Arena: record decks, winner and comments

Integrated with Scryfall, Archidekt, Moxfield, EDHREC

Analytics are available (they will be upgraded over time):

- Win rate by deck, color, bracket, period, etc

- Best player, player ranking, deck ranking, etc

- Meta game

PLEASE HELP ME TESTING AND DON'T FORGET TO ASK THE FEATURES YOU'D LIKE TO ADD! I NEED YOU ❤️

DISCLAIMER: Keep in mind that the app is in Beta and, even if I made it as secure as I could, I suggest to avoid inserting personal data (name, address, etc) as I will not be responsible for them.

[Tool] Phyrexian Arena – EDH TRACKER: Track your EDH playgroup stats, decks, and rankings with ease

Hi everyone! 👋

I've been working on a little side project for my regular EDH group, and I think it might be useful for others too. It's called **Phyrexian Arena** – a lightweight web app to track your Commander games, decks, and player rankings.

---

## 🧠 What it does

- **Create an "Arena"** – that's your private playgroup. It can be your weekly pod, a one‑night event, or a mini‑league. You get an invite code to share with your friends.

- **Log matches** – record who played, which decks they used, who won, and add notes (e.g. "turn 4 combo", "epic comeback").

- **Import decks from Archidekt** – automatically fetch your list, commander(s), and bracket data.

- **Player & deck rankings** – wins and losses are tracked, with ties sharing the same rank.

- **Custom profiles** – choose a nickname, avatar, and which commander to display for multi‑commander decks.

- **Admin tools** – manage players, add decks to profiles, keep the arena tidy.

---

## 🗺️ Roadmap – what's coming next

I already have some features planned for future updates:

- **Moxfield integration** – import decks directly from Moxfield (in addition to Archidekt)

- **Advanced match statistics** – win rates by matchup, and color combination

- **Deck performance analytics** – see which decks perform best in your meta

- **Export data** – download your Arena stats as CSV

- **Mobile-friendly app** – dedicated PWA or native app for quick match logging at the table

- **Player leaderboards** – compare stats across multiple Arenas

*Have an idea? Let me know! I'm always open to suggestions.*

---

## 🛠 Tech stack

- Next.js + React + Tailwind

- Supabase (auth, DB, storage)

- hCaptcha for registration

- Scryfall + Archidekt APIs

---

## 🚀 Try it now

The app is live at: https://phyrexian-arena.vercel.app

Source code: https://github.com/marco201091-glitch/PhyrexianArena

It's completely free, no ads, just a passion project.

Help with raging dino [Indoraptor, the perfect hybrid]

https://archidekt.com/decks/21802367/dont_mess_with_indoraptor

Here is the link to the list

What I'm asking for is help for some balance. I planned to play it as a sort of group slug voltron deck, fighting, slashing, raging, etc.

Aim is to setup it to bracket 3, my only combo is based on blazing sunsteel and some indestructible effect.
I also set up the deck to be as fast as possible, so I included all the jund fast mana I have in my collection since I want the dino to enter as big as possible as fast as possible but what I faced after few testing is that in my starting hand I never see both fast mana, and early damage to setup it and, if i have them, I have no protection/payoff.

How you suggest to play him? Reduce speed of the deck to improve resilience? changing plan?

PS: I know the deck is fragile vs edicts, board wipes, etc, but as I wrote before, it's not meant to be top tier, just fun
