Due to the nature of card games, it is not possible to manage the results automatically, and it is necessary to manage the results by yourself. Some people use spreadsheets to manage their results in detail, while others have only an idea of what they are doing, such as "I think this deck has a win rate of about 60% against a certain deck. Some people use spreadsheets to keep track of their own personal records, while others just have an idea of the deck's win rate (e.g., "I think this deck has a win rate of about 60% against a certain deck.
