What it does

A tracker, a coach, and a memory.

Live deck tracker Free

See exactly what's left in your library with live draw odds, and every card your opponent has revealed. The overlay is draggable, resizable and always on top of Arena.

AI coach, your way Try 3 matches free

Pick how hands-on it is. Auto Pilot walks you through every turn: the best play, when to attack, when to block, lethal you'd miss. Coach guides your thinking instead. On Demand stays quiet until you ask. Chat and screenshots work in every mode.

Watch every game back New

Every match becomes a shareable recap page with a watch-it-back replay: step through each turn on an Arena-style board with every play, attack and coach call animated. Watch a real game we won

Synced to your Kraken account Free

Games land on your profile automatically: win/loss records per deck, your Arena decks as real site decks you can publish, and one switch to show your stats on your public profile.

How it works

Playing smarter in 3 minutes

  1. 1

    Create a free account and download

    Sign in with your free KrakenTheMeta account (the same one that builds AI decks) and grab the Windows installer. It's a normal one-minute install.

  2. 2

    Launch MTG Arena

    Turn on Detailed Logs in Arena's options (one checkbox, one time). The Assistant detects your game automatically, with no setup beyond that.

  3. 3

    Play, then watch it back

    The tracker floats over your game. Stuck? Click “What's my play?” and the coach reads your real hand and board. When the game ends it's on your profile as a recap with a watch-it-back replay.

Casual play only. Real-time coaching is against MTG Arena's terms in ranked and competitive play. The Assistant warns you before enabling the coach and is designed for casual, practice and unranked games. The deck tracker overlay itself is fine everywhere.

Three coaching modes

The coach, your way

KrakenAssistantLive

Auto Pilot: Bolt the Bloodtithe Harvester, then attack with Swiftspear. That lines up lethal next turn.

  • Your best play, every turn, nothing to click
  • Exact casts, attacks and blocks
  • Calls lethal you'd miss
  • Perfect when you're learning a deck or the game

Questions

Before you install

Is the MTG Arena overlay free?
Yes. The deck tracker overlay is free forever with a free KrakenTheMeta account, and your first 3 matches come with the AI coach fully unlocked. Kraken Pro ($4.99 a month) keeps the coach on every turn of every match.
Is it allowed on MTG Arena?
The deck tracker works like other Arena trackers and is fine everywhere. Real-time coaching is against Arena's terms in ranked and competitive play, so the coach is for casual, practice and unranked games, and the Assistant warns you before you turn it on.
What do I need to set up?
Just one thing: turn on Detailed Logs (Plugin Support) in MTG Arena's account options. The Assistant finds your game on its own after that.
Does it work on Mac?
Not yet. The Assistant is a Windows app. Your match history, recaps and replays are on the website, so you can watch them back from any device.
Where do my games go?
Each finished match is saved to your KrakenTheMeta account as a recap page with a replay, and your Arena decks show up in your dashboard with their win/loss record. You choose whether your stats show on your public profile.
