About SlingLab

Built by players,
for players.

SlingLab exists because we felt the gap ourselves: nowhere to build a deck and playtest it in the same place. We wanted something to fill that gap. To give us the place we can rapidly build and test decks digitally, to use data insights to influence our decisions, to sling cards with other real people before spending the time buying and building decks on paper.

SlingLab is our attempt at just that.

The Team

We're Zeal and Beefbucket. Together we've spent more than 40 years writing software, building systems and most importantly, playing game. For the RTS fans among you, you may remember starcrafttools.net, a Starcraft build order optimizer that we build back in the early 2010's. While that has sadly been put out to pasture, SlingLab.gg is our latest passion project.
