Record a match

Record players, decks, games, winners, and result details for a match in Chronicles.

Last updated June 1, 2026

Before you start

Recording a match requires a playgroup, at least two players, and a deck for each player. For a registered player, Deckonomicon saves the published deck version, not the mutable working deck.

You can record a match by itself or attach it to an ongoing duel. If you attach the match to a duel, the duel and format are used as context for the record.

When someone at the table is not a Deckonomicon user, or a player has no published deck yet, use placeholders instead. See Record a match with placeholder players and decks.

Record the match

Use Record match in Chronicles to create the record.

Open Chronicles records.
Start a new match, or open Record match directly.
Choose the Playgroup.
Choose a Duel, or keep No duel.
Choose the Format when the match is not locked to a duel.
Choose Best of 1, 3, or 5.
Select add a player until every seat is filled.
On each player tile, select the player and select Pick deck to choose a published deck.
For each tracked game, set the winner and result details.
Select Save match.

Result

Deckonomicon saves the match under the selected playgroup. Each participant is linked to the deck they played, and each tracked game records the winner and result details.

If the match belongs to a duel, it contributes to that duel history in Chronicles records.

Troubleshooting

If a player has no available deck in the picker, that player needs a non-private deck with a published version, or you can create a placeholder deck. See Record a match with placeholder players and decks.

If Save match is disabled, check that every player has a deck and every tracked game has a winner.
