No tracker at the table needed

Log your Commander games after you play

Some pods just play. The Playgroup tracker's Log past game mode records a finished paper game in about a minute: who played, which decks, who won. Your win rates, ELO leaderboard and deck stats build just like live-tracked games.

The short answer

How do you track Commander games without an app at the table?

Play your game however you like: pen and paper, dice, or nothing at all. Afterwards, open the Playgroup tracker, switch to Log past game, and record who played, which decks, and who won. That is enough for Playgroup to build win rates, an ELO leaderboard and per-deck stats for your whole pod, the same stats live-tracked games get.

How it works

Four steps, about a minute

01
Pick your playgroup

Or none at all: pickup games work too.

02
Add players and decks

Playgroup members, or guests by name. Pick a deck or just the commander.

03
Set the outcome

Winner or winners, the win condition, and whether someone went infinite.

04
Add details, or skip

Date, game length, turn count and fun ratings are all optional.

Playgroup ELO leaderboard built from logged and tracked Commander games
What you get

The stats still count

Every logged game updates player and deck win rates, ELO ratings and leaderboards, commander stats, and league standings. Fun and salt ratings too, if you add them.

What live tracking adds: turn times, damage and knockouts, and the full game dashboard come from tracking during the game. Switch any time; it is the same account and the same stats.

Built for

The pods that just play

Spreadsheet keepers

Retire the games spreadsheet. Same habit, but the win rates, ELO and leaderboards compute themselves.

Screen-free tables

Keep phones out of the game entirely. One person logs the result when it is over.

Catching up

Forgot to track last night? Back-log it with the real date and the stats land in the right place.

Logging past games FAQ

How do I log a Commander game I already played?
Open the tracker at playgroup.gg/tracker and switch to the Log past game tab. Four quick steps: pick a playgroup (or none), add the players and their decks, set who won and how, and optionally add the date, game length and ratings. It takes about a minute and your stats update immediately.
Do I need to use the life tracker during my games to get stats?
No. Live tracking gives the richest data, but logging a finished game afterwards still builds the core stats: win rates, ELO ratings and leaderboards, deck and commander stats, and league standings.
What stats do logged games count toward?
Logged games update player and deck win rates, ELO ratings and leaderboards, commander stats, and league records. Turn-by-turn analytics like turn times, damage dealt and the game dashboard need live tracking, because they come from what happens during the game.
Do I need a playgroup to log a game?
No. You can log a pickup game with no playgroup attached: just add the players and their decks or commanders. Playgroup and league are optional.
Does everyone in the game need a Playgroup account?
No. One account logs the game. Everyone else can be recorded by name as a guest, and guests can claim their games later if they create an account.
Can I log games from any past date?
Yes. The optional details step lets you set the play date, game length and turn count, so you can back-log last week's game night. Games are logged one at a time; there is no spreadsheet import yet.
Is logging past games free?
Yes. Logging games, live tracking and all the stats they build are free.
Is this the same as Playgroup Live?
No. Logging past games is part of the Playgroup tracker, which is for in-person paper Magic. Playgroup Live is a separate free browser virtual tabletop for playing Commander online with virtual cards; games finished there record their results automatically.

Your pod's stats start with one logged game

Free, and one account per table is enough. Prefer tracking live at the table? The MTG life counter does that too.
