NerdLeagues MTG Stats Dashboard

Tired of trying to remember who won that wild EDH game last weekend? Want to know which deck actually performs best—or just talk trash with data to back it up?

NerdLeagues is the all-in-one platform for tracking your Magic: The Gathering playgroup stats, games, ELO rankings, and more. Whether you're slinging spells casually or competing weekly, NerdLeagues turns every game into a record-worthy moment.

From Google Sheets to Gamified Stats

NerdLeagues was born out of a tight-knit EDH playgroup that had been tracking wins, losses, and deck performance in a spreadsheet for years. The group had everything from color identity pie charts to ELO rankings—but it got messy fast.

That's when NerdLeagues was built: a web-based solution to make inputting, organizing, and viewing playgroup stats seamless, sharable, and way more fun.

Join a League, Build Your Meta

With NerdLeagues, you can create or join Leagues—stat-tracking bubbles where ELO and win rates are calculated only among that group's players and decks. Think of it as a playgroup-specific meta. You also get:

  • Global rankings for decks and players across all leagues
  • League-specific ELO ratings for more accurate local competition
  • Automatic color identity analysis and player bias charts
  • Comment logs for each game—turn stats into stories

Not Just for Commander

While many users play EDH, NerdLeagues supports any Magic format:

  • Commander (EDH)
  • Standard
  • Draft
  • Brawl
  • Pack Wars
  • And whatever else your playgroup dreams up

Track deck performance, win percentages, and player matchups no matter how you play.

Who It's For

NerdLeagues is built for:

  • Casual players who want to track who really wins the most
  • Competitive players who want power rankings and matchup data
  • Local game stores looking to foster engagement, give out prizes, and track match history

It's like fantasy football for your Magic group—with all the spreadsheets done for you.

Why It Beats a Spreadsheet

Let's be real: ELO calculations are a pain. NerdLeagues automates everything. You get:

  • Easy deck and game logging
  • Instant ELO updates
  • Integrated Discord bot to announce game logs and rankings
  • Color-coded charts and stat breakdowns

No manual math. No messy docs. Just gameplay → stats → bragging rights.

Real Games. Real Stats. Real Stories.

Every deck is tied to a color identity. One friend who always trashed blue? His pie chart showed not a single blue deck played. Case closed.

Game logs include optional player comments—perfect for capturing those "you cast what?!" moments. Whether it's a surprise win or a catastrophic punt, the memories live on.
