Level the playing field
Rule-based scoring. Full transparency. Every point is traceable.
Our goal
The best games of Commander happen when everyone is on a level playing field. That's what the Rule Zero conversation is for — but it only works when players honestly understand how powerful their decks are.
Brackets are a great starting point, but they only check whether you have specific cards. A deck can stay under the Game Changers limit while packing premium cards in every other slot — and brackets alone won't catch that.
ScryCheck evaluates every card in your deck across five scoring vectors, identifies combos, detects themes, and shows you exactly how every point is calculated.
The result is an honest power level assessment that gives your pod a common language — so nobody shows up with an unfair edge.
The 5-vector system
Speed
How fast can your deck develop? Measures fast mana, dorks, rocks, and ramp. Fast decks can threaten wins on turns 3-4.
Consistency
How reliably can you find your key pieces? Measures tutors, card draw, card selection, and redundancy. Consistent decks execute their plan every game.
Interaction
How well can you disrupt opponents? Measures counterspells, removal, stax pieces, and protection. Interactive decks can stop opponents from winning.
Mana base
How optimized are your lands? Measures fetchlands, duals, shocks, and fixing. Strong mana bases rarely stumble.
Threats
How do you win? Measures combos, win conditions, and finishers. Threat-dense decks can end games decisively.
