Matchup-by-matchup plans
For each opponent archetype in your format, save the cards that come in and out, ready on screen during a round.
MTG Sideboard Planner
Build sideboard plans you can actually reuse.
Keep a plan for every matchup next to the deck it belongs to: what comes in, what goes out, on the play and on the draw. The plans learn from the games you log, flag themselves when your list changes and go to the table as a PDF.

Plans that learn from your games
A plan you only remember is a plan you rebuild at every event. Here it lives with the deck, is checked against your list and gets better with every game.
Play and draw
Save a different plan on the play and on the draw, or one plan for both. When they are the same it is shown once.
Backed by data, not memory
Once you have enough tracked games the sheet shows the best observed plan and which cards actually recur in your wins.
One-click prefill
Use the best observed plan to prefill the sheet instead of retyping the same in and out list every time.
Knows your list
A plan that brings in more copies than your sideboard holds, or takes out more than your main deck plays, is flagged as needing an update.
Opponent first
The quick view puts the opponent's deck first, so the matchup you are about to play is the main thing on screen, not a row in a list.
Cards as images or a list
Pick the cards as images with the copies on them, or as a plain list. The choice is remembered on your device.
Post-side study
Your win rate after siding, matchup by matchup, and the cards you bring in and take out most often across the games you logged.
PDF for the table
Export the sheet as a PDF, or the compact version for a printable tournament reference.
One plan for the team
In a test group the whole team keeps one plan for each matchup: pick the cards from the lists of the group's decks and anyone can update it.
Matchup plan (Premium)
The guided Matchup plan tool goes from where you stand to a plan for every matchup, your opening hands and the pages to take to the event.
Fix my deck (Premium)
A sideboard study of the cards that earn their slot, and a place to test a new list before you register it.

Common questions
What makes a good MTG sideboard planner?
A good sideboard planner connects decklists, matchup notes and real event results in one workflow, and tells you when a plan no longer fits your list.
Can MyDeckStats help with sideboard notes?
Yes. MyDeckStats keeps sideboard plans next to the decks and matchups they belong to, and can prefill a plan from your own tracked results.
Can I have a different plan on the play and on the draw?
Yes. Each matchup can have a plan for the play, a plan for the draw or one for both, and equal plans are shown once.
Is this useful only for tournaments?
No. It also helps during testing, because repeated notes become easier to compare and refine.
Is the sideboard sheet free?
Yes, with no time limit, including PDF export.
What does Premium add to sideboarding?
Premium adds the guided Matchup plan and Fix my deck tools: a plan for every matchup, a sideboard study of the cards that earn their slot, and a place to test a new list.
Can my team share sideboard plans?
Yes. In a test group the whole team keeps one plan for each matchup, picks the cards from the lists of the group's decks and can update it after every session.
Can I print my plans?
Yes. Export the sheet as a PDF, or the compact version made to be printed as a tournament reference.
