    MyDeckStats is an independent project made and run by one Magic: The Gathering player.
    No investors, no company behind it, no team of employees.

/* THE STORY */

    MyDeckStats (https://mydeckstats.com) started from a simple need: to know, with real numbers,
    how a Magic deck performs, against which decks it wins or loses, and why.
    It is built around what a player logs by hand or through the MTGO client: decks, tournaments,
    rounds, single matches, sideboard plans and the opponents met.

    The core product is free with no time limit. One optional Premium plan removes ads and adds
    guided deck tools. The yearly running cost of the site is shown on the site itself, with how
    much of it Premium members and sponsors cover; the goal is to cover it from the site's own
    users by September 2027.

/* WHAT IT DOES */

    Decks, versions and comparisons, deck builder, tournaments and one-shots, life tracker,
    Scout (a file on every opponent), Prepare a tournament, sideboard sheets, Insights (why you
    lose, you against your deck), Your season (stories and a picture to share), test groups and
    their public team pages, public player and deck pages, Trending, a public matchup matrix per
    format, the ID calculator for the last round of a tournament, two free games (Card tournament
    and Guess the deck), deck guides, a stream overlay for OBS, Excel and CSV downloads,
    an Android app and a free Windows client for Magic Online.

    The players who log their matches, report what is wrong and ask for what is missing:
    most of what is here exists because one of them asked.

/* PRIVACY */

    What a player logs is public by default and can be switched off in Settings (the whole
    profile, one deck or one tournament). Opponent names and private
    notes are never shown to anybody else. A test group can show a public team page with only its
    name and totals of matches, never decks, results or the names of its members. Nothing asks for
    a browser permission.
