IвЂ™ve playedВ Magic: the Gathering for over 10 years, and in Magic, there is no digital tool to keep track of all your cards. Instead of training their ability toВ recognize the opponentвЂ™s deck based on the cards they play as well as their ability to figure rough odds of drawing a card and remembering which cards are still left in their deck, players using a deck tracker artificially limit themselves through use of a crutch. However, these functions, while fitting under the replication on paper rule, cannot be done by most people without the aid of a tool such as a deck tracker. For ladder players, functions such as Drawing probabilities and Turns at which each card is drawn are the main attractions. Streamers will leave just their decklist and occasionally the opponentвЂ™s. Functions via Дeck trackers usually have many abilities. On the other hand, Ladder players using deck trackers swear by them and claim that using it improves win rate. Basically, the deck tracker gives viewers the ability to feel like they understand more of the game.

Instead, it is used to showВ viewers information (such as the decklist) that is otherwise available only to the streamer. Streamers often do not directly see the deck tracker. While Blizzard has officially allowed their use under the вЂњanything you can do with pen and paperвЂќ rule they have towards third party software, major tournament organizers prohibit the use of any 3rd party application, meaning that the two places deck trackers see use are on StreamВ and on Ladder. Even still, there is some controversy about the use of deck trackers. A year ago, many were up in arms about deck trackers, whether defending them or attacking them.
