While we’re all staring at the Kickstarter home stretch like good little backers, the community is already building the infrastructure. Lovecore has quietly turned his fan project CHOOM.GG into the most serious companion app for the Cyberpunk TCG — and the newest feature is a genuine game-changer.
What Is CHOOM.GG?
In case you haven’t had it on your radar: CHOOM.GG is a free web app positioning itself as „Your Night City Companion for the Cyberpunk TCG.“ The feature list reads like a wish list that most TCGs don’t get around to until years after release:
- Card Database — All known cards, fully searchable and filterable by color, type, and attributes
- Deckbuilder — Build decks with Legend assignment, mana curve, and QR code sharing
- Collection Tracker (Binder) — Manage your collection including Standard, Foil, and Kickstarter variants plus a wishlist
- Gig Board — Player matchmaking for Casual, Competitive, Learning Games, and Draft
- Arena & Analytics — Competitive format and metagame analysis
This isn’t some half-assed spreadsheet. The site looks damn good, runs smooth on mobile, and has a well-thought-out UI with Dark Mode. All free, all community-driven.
New: Realtime Draft Mode
The freshest feature Lovecore announced in the Discord today: Draft Functionality for Realtime Drafting. You can now create a draft pod right on CHOOM.GG, invite other players, and crack packs together in real time, picking cards as you go — just like a physical booster draft, only digital.
On top of that, there’s an export function that lets you take your drafted deck to other platforms. Right now the export is a .txt file — Lovecore himself says it’s still a stub because it’s unclear which platforms besides Tabletop Simulator and TCG-A will end up being relevant. That’s exactly why he’s looking for feedback before he presents the feature to the broader community on Reddit this Monday.
Why This Matters
A TCG doesn’t survive on good cards and fair pull rates alone. It needs infrastructure — places where players can theorycraft decks, track their collections, and find opponents. With Pokémon and Magic, that took years. Yu-Gi-Oh still doesn’t have an official deckbuilder that doesn’t look like a relic from 2005.
Cyberpunk TCG hasn’t even hit retail and it already has a companion app with a card database, deckbuilder, collection tracker, matchmaking, and draft mode. That’s not something you take for granted — that’s a community member pouring hundreds of hours into a tool because they believe in the game.
If you want to test the feature, head to choom.gg/draft and create a pod. And if you’ve got feedback — especially about the export function and which platforms should be supported — let Lovecore know in the Discord. The guy is literally building the community infrastructure this game needs.
Check it out, Chooms. This is your tool.
