MTGA Tracker Comparison


1		V. 7b	AnnanFay's completely arbitrary comparison of the 4+ MTGA trackers (AFCAC4MT)
2			Scores are between 0 and 5, if you convince me I'm wrong I'll change them. Many of the 0 scores are planned features and just haven't been added yet. Question marks '?' means I have not rated it. Hyphen '-' means it's completely outside the purpose of the program. Right now there are reasons to use all the trackers and no clear 'best tracker'. There are 2 new trackers which may be lacking features, and which I have not completely reviewed yet. Ratings like Data Integrity and Security take time to analyse regardless so will be left with a ? for a while.							A less detailed alternative comparison is on the wiki	Another comparison - 01/17/2019
3			Note: I have contributed source code to both MTGA Tracker and MTG Arena Pro. I try to be impartial though.
