About MTG Master
MTG Master is an independent platform built to help Magic: The Gathering players manage their collections, build and share decks, and understand how those decks actually perform at the table — especially in Commander.
The project started from a simple idea:
Magic players deserve tools that go deeper than a decklist.
MTG Master is designed for players who want more than storage, more than card search, and more than surface-level stats. It helps you understand the structure, strengths, weaknesses, and real-game expectations behind your decks.
Why MTG Master Exists
Magic: The Gathering has become a deep, complex, and highly social game.
This is especially true in Commander, where a deck is rarely just a pile of good cards. It is shaped by many things:
- Power level expectations
- Synergy and anti-synergy
- Ramp, draw, removal, and interaction balance
- Budget and card availability
- Local meta and table politics
- Personal playstyle
- Rule 0 conversations
- The kind of games your group actually enjoys
Most deck tools are good at showing what cards are in a deck.
MTG Master is built to help explain how a deck works, why it performs the way it does, and whether it fits the games you want to play.
The goal is not to replace creativity, experience, or personal taste. The goal is to support better decisions, clearer expectations, and more enjoyable games.
What MTG Master Does
MTG Master combines collection management, deckbuilding tools, playtesting features, card data, and structured analysis in one place.
You can use it to:
- Manage your card collection
- Create, edit, and organize decks
- Share decks publicly or privately
- Track wishboards and future upgrades
- Explore card prices and price history
- Test hands and simulate deck behaviour
- Review deck structure, consistency, and game plan
- Understand strengths, weaknesses, and pressure points
- Identify synergies, gaps, and meaningful upgrade paths
- Compare decks against realistic Commander expectations
The platform is useful as a clean and reliable place to manage decks and collections, but it becomes more powerful when you want to go deeper into how a deck actually functions.

The goal is to keep MTG Master accessible while offering deeper functionality for players who want to invest more seriously in their decks and collection.
Built Independently
MTG Master is a bootstrapped, fan-made project created by Marc Dalmau, a Magic player and software engineer.
It is built independently, without publishers, investors, or outside ownership shaping the product direction.
That matters.
MTG Master is not a content farm, not a hype-driven AI wrapper, and not a reskinned card database. It is a tool-first platform built around real player needs, practical deckbuilding, and long-term usefulness.
The platform evolves through actual use, player feedback, and continuous improvement.
Data and AI as Support, Not Authority
MTG Master uses structured data and AI where they genuinely help.
These tools are designed to:
- Highlight patterns
- Surface structural issues
- Explain deck behaviour
- Identify consistency risks
- Suggest possible improvements
- Make complex deck analysis easier to understand
They are not official rulings, guarantees, or absolute judgments.
Commander is contextual. A card that is perfect in one pod may be miserable in another. A deck that looks powerful on paper may struggle in a specific meta. A technically “optimal” upgrade may not match your budget, taste, or playgroup.
MTG Master is designed to support player judgment, not replace it.
Human context, table experience, and personal preference always matter.
