Commander trade-night organizer
A busy Commander trade night often turns into a few impromptu games. PodMetric gives the organizer a clean way to start a season, add the players who stay to play, and keep the resulting games, standings, and deck context in one private playgroup record.
Important: PodMetric does not facilitate trades, buy or sell cards, price cards, authenticate cards, or verify cards. It is for organizing your Commander games after trading.

Table signal
PodMetric organizes the games after trading—not the trades themselves.
PodMetric keeps the record your playgroup chooses to make. It does not assign a secret rating, decide a winner, or replace a Rule 0 conversation.
01
Let players handle their own trade conversations away from PodMetric. Once the group is ready to play, create or open the season that will hold the game record. The workflow begins with games—not card exchanges.
02
Add the players who are joining the game, register decks if your group wants deck context, and agree on the season scoring before results are entered. This keeps a spontaneous after-trade pod from becoming a mystery result later.
03
After a game finishes, save the participants, winner, optional deck selections, turn count, and notes. The completed-game record can then feed standings and win-rate context for the next trade night or regular league night.
