I started Counterdeck because I got tired of having Moxfield open in one tab, Scryfall in another, MTGGoldfish in another, an Excel sheet for the binder, and a WhatsApp group with the people I play with. Six different things, none of them designed for all the others, and almost all of them in English.
Magic has 35 million players around the world. Most of the tools out there work, but they assume a specific profile: an English-speaking spike with a credit card. The global community — the kid opening a precon deck in Madrid, the commander player in São Paulo, the cube group in Tokyo — lives in a worse version of their own hobby.
Counterdeck is my attempt to put all of that in one place: deck builder, collection, P2P marketplace, simulator, forum, AI that understands the rules. Multilingual from day one. Cards from Scryfall —which is and always will be the public reference database— and a design built around the five colors instead of around "the standard SaaS flow".
How it's different
Two things. First: there's no artificial paywall. If you feel like paying for Premium to support the project and unlock a few extras, great. If not, almost everything is free and tracking-free. Second: I'm not a company. When something doesn't work and you write to me, I'm the one who answers. When a decision is stupid, I'm also the one who made it and the one who fixes it. That has advantages and disadvantages, so it's worth knowing them before you put your collection in here.
What's already here
- 37,474 cards indexed with search and filters by color, rarity, format, and CMC.
- Deck builder with sideboard, commander, statistics (curve, colors, types), and export to the standard formats.
- Importer from Moxfield, Archidekt, MTG Arena, and MTGO.
- P2P Marketplace by city. No commission. Direct contact between players.
- Tutorius, the rules assistant with access to the Comprehensive Rules and Scryfall rulings.
- Simulation table, multiplayer in the browser.
- Forum with likes, mentions, and notifications.
What's coming
Natural-language search AI ("a blue creature with mana value 2 that bounces something when it comes in"), collection tracker with a mobile scanner, tournament system, Limited mode with drafts, native mobile app. The full, up-to-date plan is at /roadmap.
Who's behind it
Raúl. Programmer and player since before Modern existed. I build Counterdeck from Barcelona, in my spare time, with the reasonable ambition of it ending up being the tool I wish I'd had when I started. If you feel like helping —design, data, translations into your language, testing in competitive formats, art— drop by the Discord.
