MTGA Tracker 0.5.8

The Live Log becomes a Scoreboard

The biggest UI release since the dashboard landed. The tracker's old play-by-play window is gone — in its place, a real live Scoreboard inside the dashboard. The Deck Finder moves in alongside it, Settings becomes a proper page, colorless finally shows up as the color it is, and a fresh coat of polish runs across the sidebar, deck pages, and card pages. One install, everything in the browser.

⚔️ The Live Log is now the Scoreboard

Open Live Log from the sidebar (or the menu bar) and watch your game unfold in the dashboard instead of a cramped terminal window:

  • A hero scoreboard for the game in progress — both life totals ticking live, each side's color pips, your deck name, the current format, and the turn + game clock.
  • A Live Feed that reads exactly like your game history, because it is the same timeline the /game page renders — casts, draws, lands, combat, stack resolution, life swings, all with card links and hover previews. Brawl commander art shows up top.
  • It survives between matches — the finished game's board and a "Game ended" banner stay on screen with a "Previous Game" chip while you queue, then the feed rolls straight into the next match.
  • A session rail with your live record, runtime, and a green "Live" / red "Ready" status, plus a scrolling Today's Games list you can click into.

The old Qt window still exists as a buried debug fallback (MTGA_TRACKER_QT_LOG=1), but you shouldn't need it.

🔎 Deck Finder, now in the dashboard

No more separate terminal window. The Deck Finder lives in the dashboard now:

  • Pick a site, then a format, and browse a results table tuned to each source — win rates and match counts for untapped.gg archetypes, event placings for the tournament sites, and so on.
  • Open any deck to see its list, then Export to Arena to copy it in Arena's import format, or Source to jump to the original page.
  • "Surprise Me" pulls a random importable deck when you just want something to play.
  • Your featured creators for AetherHub, Moxfield, and TCGplayer now live on the Settings page.

⚙️ Settings, in the app

Settings graduated from a pop-up dialog to a full dashboard page (gear icon, top right of every page): Deck AI configuration, your Deck Finder creators, a tracker-status readout (what it's monitoring, the card and log databases, the version), a single sun/moon theme toggle, and the Database Health link — all in one place.

◇ Colorless is a color

The colorless diamond now appears everywhere colors do — Recent Games, the Decks table, deck and game pages, and the live scoreboard — for decks and opponents whose known cards are all colorless (Eldrazi, artifact decks). No more blank where an identity belongs.

✨ Navigation & polish

  • A smarter sidebar: a Live Log entry above Overview that glows green while the tracker runs and red when it's stopped, an icon on every nav item (icon-only when you collapse the rail), a magnifier-marked Deck Finder button, and a global search that finds any card or deck.
  • Deck colors everywhere (carried over and refined): color pips on the deck header, a Colors column on the Decks table, and a Colors column in Recent Games — judged lands-first from real casting requirements, so hybrids and one-off off-color cards never mislabel a deck, and every deck gets pips even if it predates decklist capture.
  • Card page overhaul: reordered sections, an Avg Per Game metric, the same ambient card-art backdrop as the deck page, and a new "Opponent Could Have Played It" panel — how often opponents whose colors could cast a card actually did.
  • Deck page: hero-sized signature art (with a by-name fallback for brand-new sets), the Copy Arena Deck button moved up beside the card search.
  • Recent Games: the top-level Match Record column is gone — a win is a win; expand a Bo3 to see "Match record: 2–1" in the flyout.
  • Overview: Land Statistics now heads the land section, Opponent Meta paginates at 10 rows, and the Decks table stops scrolling sideways.
  • Plus the usual fit-and-finish: cleaner focus rings, official card-type symbols in the deck-list type boxes, "Imported Deck" games that retitle themselves the moment the renamed deck's first game lands, and pages that scroll clear of the Back-to-top pill.
