Phone rang mid-turn? Reopen the app and every total is exactly where you left it.
Backgrounds per player

Every phone & tablet
Layouts tuned for small phones, big phones and tablets, on both iOS and Android.
Any format
Built for Commander. Ready for every format.
Commander is where LifeElk shines: 40 starting life, commander damage tracked per opponent and room for the whole pod on one screen. It keeps up anywhere else you play too: 20 life for Standard, Modern or Draft night, 25 for Brawl, 30 for Two-Headed Giant, or any total your table agrees on.
From kitchen-table games to FNM, you get the same big numbers, one-tap changes and no setup screens between you and turn one.
