You’ll have spotted two tools on the site by now. The Mana/Storm Counter sits beside you while you play. The Game Tracker remembers how your games went, so you don’t have to. Both are free.
The Mana/Storm Counter
Keeping count in a cEDH game is a job in itself. It’s harder still when somebody’s going off and you’re tracking storm, mana and your life total while watching a webcam! The counter puts all of that on one screen.
- Your life total, storm count and the instants and sorceries you’ve cast this turn, each with a tap to go up or down.
- A mana pool with a counter for each colour and colourless, which empties with one button at the end of a step.
- A coin flip, a six-sided die and a twenty-sided die, for the cards that ask for them and for who goes first.
- A log of your last hundred actions, so you can check how you got to a number.
- A full screen button that hides the rest of the site, so it can sit in a second window next to SpellTable or Convoke.
There’s no sign-in, and nothing you do in it leaves your browser. Close the tab and come back, and it’s still where you left it.
The Game Tracker
The Game Tracker is for everything after the game. You log each one with your commander (start typing and it suggests from every commander EDHTop16 has recorded), your seat, the result, and as much else as you like. That can be how the game was won, the turn it ended, how many mulligans you took and the mana sources in the hand you kept. You can add a link to your list on Moxfield or Archidekt, your opponents’ commanders and Discord usernames, and up to two cards that decided it. Those cards are checked against real Magic cards as you type, so only real cards reach your numbers.
Then your results do the work for you:
- Your win rate overall, and from each seat against an even share of 25%, so you can see whether going first is really helping.
- How you do with each of your commanders, and against each deck you meet.
- Your record against particular players, and against the groups you play with regularly.
- How your games end, what each extra mulligan costs you, and how much a good opening hand is worth.
- How each of your lists does, if you add your Moxfield or Archidekt links.
- How you do in the games where you named a particular card.
If you play on TopDeck.gg, you can link your profile, and your tournament games turn up in the tracker each morning. They arrive with your commander, seat and opponents’ decks already filled in, and they stay as TopDeck.gg recorded them. You can edit the games you log yourself, and delete any game whenever you like.
There’s also a page of game statistics, which puts readers’ games side by side with how the same commanders do in tournaments. And if you’d like to show off your record, there’s an optional public profile. Both are covered below, because they’re the only two places anyone else can see anything of your games.
Signing in, and keeping you safe
The tracker and the weekly email need an account, and you make one by signing in with Discord.
Your password stays with Discord. The first time, Discord asks you on its own site whether we can have your details. It then sends us your Discord ID, your name, your username, your picture and your email address, and whether Discord has checked that address. Your servers, messages and friends stay with Discord.
Discord is the way in. Your cEDH.online account has no password of its own, and signing in or resetting a password that way is switched off for it. Getting in means getting into your own Discord account.
Each sign-in is checked. Every one carries a random check kept in your browser, which is cleared once it’s used and runs out after ten minutes. So a sign-in someone else started can’t finish in your name. It always sends you back to a page on cedh.online.
We only email you if you ask. The weekly email is off until you switch it on. It goes only to the address Discord has confirmed is yours, and your account page shows it partly hidden. Every email has a link that stops it straight from your inbox, and your email app’s own unsubscribe button works too.
Your games are yours. Only you can see the games you log, and only you can change or delete them. The site’s administrator sees how many games each account has logged, and the games that count in the site’s figures with no name beside them. The Discord usernames you type for your opponents stay in your own record.
The game statistics are anonymous. You can leave your games out of them with one switch. If you leave them in, they join figures across every reader who shares. Until five readers share, the page shows just how many readers share and how many games they’ve logged. Only games at least a week old count.
A commander, card or seat appears once it’s in five games from three or more readers. Games brought in from TopDeck.gg stay out, because a link can’t prove that the TopDeck.gg profile is yours.
A public profile is your choice. It’s off until you switch it on. Then it shows your Discord name and picture and your own record, and lists you on the Players page. Your opponents, your notes and when you played stay private, and switching it off removes it straight away.
Your details are fetched fresh. The pages themselves are the same for everyone, and your own details are fetched separately each time and kept out of every cache on the way. Card suggestions are looked up by our server, so your browser talks only to cedh.online while you type.
You can take it with you, or delete it. Your account page lets you download your account details, settings, saved events and games, and delete your account whenever you like. Deleting your account deletes your games with it.
Every change to the accounts is run through automatic tests that try forged sign-ins, reused sign-in links and reading or changing someone else’s games. The accounts and the tracker have also had security reviews as they were built. If you ever spot something that doesn’t look right, please tell us through the contact page and we’ll look at it straight away.
