A lot has landed on the site in the last few days. Here’s what’s new and where to find it.
Three deck maths tools
Ever wondered how often your seven has the land and fast mana you need, or whether 12 blue sources is really enough? There are now three tools for that, under Tools.
- Opening Hands tells you how likely you are to have the cards you need in your opening hand, or by a given turn. It can look for several kinds at once, like two lands and a piece of fast mana, and it counts your mulligans too.
- Colour Sources tells you how many sources of a colour you need to cast a spell on time, and how often the ones you have will get you there. It follows Frank Karsten’s work on mana bases, worked out for 99 cards.
- Combo Odds tells you how likely you are to have every piece of your combo by a given turn, counting the tutors that can find them.
Paste your decklist into any of them and it fills in the numbers for you: library size, lands, sources of each colour, and the cards you tick. Your list stays in your browser, and it’s gone when you close the tab. Each tool’s address holds your inputs, so you can send a friend the exact sum you’re arguing about.
A front page that shows what’s on
The home page now opens on what’s happening. The next events turn over in a card of their own, with the new videos beside them and the latest articles underneath, so there’s something new every time you land. The newest reviews sit below.
More from the Game Tracker
- Compare your record with a friend. Any two public profiles can be set side by side, at an address like cedh.online/players/you/vs/them/. If you both switch it on, it also shows your record against each other.
- Opponents by username. The log form suggests the Discord usernames you’ve played before, and a name with a public profile links to it.
- The same pod again. If you play the same group all evening, one tap fills in the last pod, and you can drag the players into turn order.
- Your whole TopDeck.gg history. Link your profile and your tournament games come back to your first event, not just the last few days. A table comes in when you’ve registered a decklist for that event, because that’s where your commander comes from.
- TopDeck.gg games on your profile, if you want them. A new switch in Settings adds your tournament games to your public profile, in a section of their own with a link to your TopDeck.gg profile.
Your name in the header
Once you’ve signed in, the header shows your Discord username, so you can see at a glance that you’re in.
As ever, if something’s missing that you’d use, tell us through the contact page.
