CardForge Pro

CardForge Pro tells you what your decklist is missing.

CardForge is a free Pokémon TCG deck builder. Pro compares your decklist against the current meta and tells you exactly what to change.

From inspiration to a tournament-winning deck.

CardForge Pro isn’t a pile of separate tools. It’s one workflow, taking you from start to finish.

  1. Step 1

    Build your list

    Every card, every set, one search. Your deck stats and archetype comparison update as you type. Free, and staying that way.

    Free for everyone
  2. Step 2

    Fill the gaps

    Autocomplete takes half an idea and hands back a ready-to-play deck, built from your cards and from real tournament lists. Card suggestions work the other way and name what you're missing and how many copies to run. No more staring at 47 cards wondering what the last 13 are.

    • AI autocomplete
    • AI card suggestions
  3. Step 3

    Check for consistency

    Exact odds on the cards that decide your turn, next to the counts tournament lists really run. CardForge's AI reads both and names the cut and the add. When your list already lines up, it says so instead of inventing work.

    • Opening-hand odds for your key cards
    • AI consistency recommendations
  4. Step 4

    Know the field

    Matchup analysis rates your list against every deck at the top of the meta, down to weakness, resistance and prize trade. The strategy guide hands you the turn-by-turn line, the combos that carry the deck, and how it closes. Sit down for round one already knowing your win conditions.

  5. Step 5

    Play and log it

    One click export to Pokémon TCG Live. Play your games, then log the results in the Battle Journal. Both free, and the journal is what powers the last step.

    Free for everyone
  6. Step 6

    Learn from your results and iterate

    Log 10 games and CardForge's AI compares your matchup record against how tournament lists of your archetype perform. You'll know whether your losses come from a fixable list or a matchup that's just hard.

    • AI coaching on your logged match results

How CardForge keeps it honest

Every Pro feature starts from the same place: your decklist as it stands right now. Plenty of cards share a name across printings and don’t do the same thing, so CardForge sends the exact one you built with rather than letting the model guess.

Then everything the AI recommends gets verified. Card names matched against the real card pool. Anything illegal in your format, dropped. Copy counts recalculated from your own deck. A recommendation that would leave you with an illegal list never reaches the screen. It won’t hand you a card that doesn’t exist.

Two limitations, up front. Tournament data comes from the Limitless public API and covers recent events, so a deck nobody is playing yet has nothing to compare against, and CardForge says so rather than inventing a baseline. Coaching needs 10logged games with a deck before it says anything, which makes it the one Pro feature you can’t judge in an afternoon.

Questions about Pro

What is CardForge Pro?
CardForge Pro is the paid tier of CardForge, a free Pokémon TCG deck builder. Pro reads the real text on every card in your list, compares it against recent tournament decks, and recommends what to change. It costs $4.99 per month or $44.99 per year.
What stays free on CardForge?
Card search and the full card database, deck building and saving, deck stats and archetype comparison, opening-hand simulation, the Battle Journal, tournament and meta data, public deck sharing, and one-click Pokémon TCG Live export. Pro is an AI layer on top of all of that. CardForge doesn't put card data behind a paywall.
Why isn't CardForge Pro free?
CardForge charges for Pro because every AI answer costs real money to produce, and that cost grows with use rather than with traffic. Card data, deck building and Pokémon TCG Live export stay free.
Does CardForge Pro come with a free trial?
3-day free trial on the annual plan, for new subscribers. Cancel before it ends and you pay nothing, otherwise it becomes $44.99 for a year.
How much does CardForge Pro cost?
CardForge Pro is $4.99 per month or $44.99 per year, which is about 25 percent less than paying by the month. Both plans include every Pro feature, and you can cancel at any time.
Do I need Pro to see tournament and meta data?
No. Archetype usage, win rates, core cards and matchup tables are free for everyone on CardForge's meta pages, and so is the panel that compares your deck's counts against them while you build. What Pro adds is CardForge's AI reading that data for your specific list.
