Simulator, Not Rules Engine

TableCommander is a virtual tabletop — not an automated rules engine like Arena or MTGO. You play cards manually, resolve triggers yourself, and negotiate with opponents just like in paper. This is intentional: it preserves the social, political nature of Commander that makes the format great.
Paper-like feel: Play cards manually, tap and untap, move between zones
Social experience: Negotiate, politic, and interact like real Commander
No restrictions: House rules, custom formats, and casual play all welcome
Every card works: No waiting for card implementations — every printed card is available

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Commander simulator?
A Commander simulator is a virtual tabletop that lets you play Magic: The Gathering Commander online. You use digital versions of real cards, play them manually, and interact with opponents in real time.
Does the simulator enforce MTG rules?
No. TableCommander is a manual play simulator — you play cards and resolve effects yourself, just like paper Magic. This lets you use house rules and play any card without waiting for automated implementations.
Can I use any card in the simulator?
Yes. Every card from every Magic set is available. Since play is manual, there are no missing card implementations — if it exists in paper, you can play it here.
How does multiplayer work?
Create a table, set the number of seats (2-6), and share the link with friends. All card plays and game state changes sync in real time.
Is it like Tabletop Simulator for MTG?
Similar concept but purpose-built for Magic. TableCommander has MTG-specific features like commander zones, life tracking, commander damage, and integrated card search — no scripting or mod setup required.
