Playgroup stats

You’ll also unlock fun insights like:

  • Who always wins the starting dice roll?
  • What is the average turn your playgroup ends a game?
  • Does the player that starts have higher chances of winning?

Tracker FAQ

How do I track my Commander games with friends?
You need at least one free Playgroup.gg account to host a game and save the stats, but not everyone has to sign up: players who don't want an account can join as guests. At the table you can track two ways: put one shared device in the middle of the table (a tablet works best), or use device sync so each player tracks from their own phone in the same game. The shared device on the table is by far the most popular. When the game ends, results sync to playgroup.gg and update your stats.
Does the tracker work for in-person paper Magic?
Yes. The Playgroup tracker app is built for games played with physical cards at the table. It also works for remote paper play over webcam, like SpellTable.
Can I play Commander online with Playgroup, or is the tracker only for in-person games?
The tracker app is for in-person paper Magic at the table. If you want to play Commander online with virtual cards, that is Playgroup Live, a separate, free, browser-based virtual tabletop. Games you finish on Playgroup Live count toward the same ELO, deck stats, and Playscore leagues as games tracked at the table.
Is the tracker app free?
Yes. Tracking your games and viewing your stats is completely free.
Does everyone at the table need an account?
No. You need at least one Playgroup.gg account to host and save the game, but other players can join as guests without signing up. If you'd rather, the playgroup owner can also set up and manage accounts for members.
What does the tracker record?
During the game it tracks life totals, commander damage, poison, turn times, and custom counters. Afterwards you get per-deck win rate, average game length, estimated power level, ELO ratings and leaderboards, and a full game dashboard for every match.
How many players can it track?
2 to 6 players per pod, so it covers duel Commander, standard four-player pods, and larger tables.
What devices does it run on?
Phone, tablet, and PC. The app runs on iOS, Android, Windows, and Linux, and your stats are available on playgroup.gg in real time.
