DeckSequence turns a season of Pokémon TCG play into numbers you can act on. Most players track results in a notes app, or not at all. You remember the games you lost badly and forget the rest, so "am I improving?" stays a feeling instead of a fact. DeckSequence fixes the memory problem. LOG A MATCH IN SECONDS Pick your deck, name the opponent's, tap the result. That's a logged game. Playing online instead? Paste a PTCG Live battle log and the whole match imports itself. SEE YOUR MATCHUPS Win rates by deck, by opponent, and by event type. Find the matchup that is quietly costing you tournaments. DECK VERSIONS THAT REMEMBER Every change to a list becomes a new version with its own record. Swapped two cards last week? You will know whether it worked. DRAW ODDS WHILE YOU BUILD See the real probability your list opens on what it needs — before you sleeve it up. REPLAY THE WHOLE GAME Step through any imported match turn by turn, board state and all. Watch the game you lost and find the turn it went wrong. TOURNAMENTS Log a locals or a regional round by round, with standings that follow the event. SHARE A LIST OR A REPLAY Send a deck or a full game to a friend with a link. Log matches, build decks, run tournaments and watch replays for free, with no ads and nothing sold to anyone. A subscription unlocks the win-rate analytics: matchup win rates, the spread by opponent, and version-to-version comparison. Every new account starts with 30 days of full access.
