Overview

MTGO-Tracker is an analytics tool used to process raw data for Magic: the Gathering Online. Players can import and parse log files created during online play and store resulting information into a local database for self-analysis.

Five (5) tables are created:

  • – Matches
  • – Games
  • – Plays
  • – Drafts
  • – Draft Picks

These tables will help you track your results, evaluate your performance, and analyze your play patterns. Built-in dashboards are included to view and track Match History (Overall or by Format), Match History vs. Opponent, Match and Game Performance Data, Play Pattern Data, and Card Data.

Generated tables can be exported to .csv or .xlsx and you can manipulate the data yourself, run your own queries, build your own visualizations, etc.

Limitations

Importing: Some data (e.g. Deck Names, Match Format) cannot be read from GameLog files explicitly. These columns import as ‘NA’ by default and are input manually by the user.

Deck Names: Included is a tool to set best guess deck names by comparing card data with MTG Goldfish decklists, but this is not always accurate. Card data is saved for every match to assist with data entry for old matches.

Outdated GameLogs: My test data includes my own personal data from January 2021 to current. Older files may have been formatted differently and may not import correctly. (For example, I know formatting changed when the London Mulligan was implemented in July 2019)
