I have three kids, and about six working brain cells, and I often cannot name a card, but I can describe it!. I built this for myself but the use case turns out to be pretty universal.

You got wrecked at FNM by something and forgot the name before you got home. You're watching a game on YouTube and missed the card name on screen. You know exactly what a card does but the name just will not come. You found something in an old binder and the text is basically unreadable.

Describe the card however you remember it, ability, color, what it did in the game, approximate mana cost, general vibes, and my tool figures out what you're talking about and gives you the name.

Free, no signup required. Try something you've actually been trying to track down and drop the result in the comments. There's also a "Report a miss" button built into the tool and every failure goes straight into my fix queue.

I genuinely want to know where it breaks. I will be continuing to work on this. There is no authentication today, but I hope to build that in the future when I add more useful tools to include.

Me and my friends doing a contest “who can build the most unique and fun deck with the sexiest commander?”

So do you have any ideas? I am looking for rare commander :)

Hey,

I built a Commander deckbuilder that lets you go back and forth between an AI and a real interface and I'd love your feedback

The loop looks like this:

1. Talk to Claude - it has the full Magic card database and combo data. "Build me a Jodah legendary-matters list, ramp-heavy, bracket 3."

2. Tweak it in the interface - a fast visual builder: swap cards, group by type or by function, see your curve/colors, set cards aside in a "considering" pile, spot combos you're one card away from.

3. Hop back to Claude whenever - "cut the weakest 5 for me", "find me a wincon in these colors", "write the primer". The deck stays in sync both ways, so you're never copy-pasting decklists around.

Basically: the AI builds your deck, or just a skeleton, and dozens of considering cards, you finalize the deck vizually and then you can export it wherever you want.

It also does proxy print sheets and one-click export to untap.in so you can test right away.

It's free and early, a for-fun solo project, so expect rough edges (some UI text is still half-French 😅). You just need an account to save decks; no data resold.

I'd love to know:

• if you've ever built deck with claude or other AI before

• if this helps you in your process

• any other feedback is welcome

Black / blue in TBD seems to have a heavy focus on throwing your own deck into the graveyard and reanimating from there ... given the pings Syr Konrad can deliver does the Syr Konrad / Forever Young combo become too strong when you add in the Ashiok and all the other cards throwing to graveyard?

By all accounts you could turn five deal 16 or more damage playing Syr Konrad and then triggering Ashiok, Priest of the Forgotten Gods, and then Forever Young.

Late play engine but seems excessively strong if it doesn't get flashed out.

Sorry I'm relatively new to mtg but for example could I grab a commander deck box and use it in standard or would I have to change certain cards out

I mean, most of what I enjoy on MTG is thinking about strategies, new deck inspirations and card interactions, but when playing against other people, hardly I will find someone playing something original. Am I being too conservative? I mean, there is no art on building your deck or character anymore, you just follow a list or guide and that is it. Like, really?

I don’t know a whole lot about magic but I had this idea of having two decks and a back story to why they are fighting and thought I’d use Alex Jones as inspiration. For the enemy deck I was thinking Red-Black vampires since he talks about “pedo vampires” all the time or maybe some Orzhov they kind of gave me Illuminati vibes. For the Alex Jones deck I was defiantly thinking either mono white or red/white humans but I think for a strong MAN it defiantly needs to be aggro to some degree. If you think of any cards that might work not even necessarily mechanics wise but flavor texts too let me know.

Do you hate everyone you play magic with? Do you want everyone at the table to verbally and physically assault you? If so, why don't you try this Baral, Chief of Compliance deck? Packed with 35 counterspells to ruin the game for your opponents, this deck has no objective except to shut down every move your opponents play, ensuring no one but you are having fun at the table.

This is a little over 4 minute video of the deck that gets me to mythic the easiest and the deck that got me to top 300 mythic if you would like it hit me up on Facebook so I can add you and send you the deck list

I am a casual player and I've always wanted to find cards by searching things like

• "Creatures that can give my other creatures flying" or

• "Cards that take control over my opponents lands" or

• "Overpowered artifact equipment" etc

I made this: https://tutorman.dev/ and its actually pretty good.

BTW I am not making any money off of this - I just would love folks to give it a shot and enjoy!

There is a deck builder tool as well which is interesting, but not as tested. The card search is solid.

I don't know if I'm being brave or hopping on the bandwagon with this take but the Silverquill Influence precon is a bit of a mess. The archetype - enchantress but auras on opponents' creatures - is KNOWN for losing value not gaining value. I go in depth in my whole video on the precon, but what can Wizards do to save this archetype in the future?

I brought this up in cockatrice chat. Just curious if anyone else had thought about it. Ideas included:

• Pestilence

• Pyroclasm (and related)

• Drop of Honey

Anyone else got ideas?

So with the Ravnica spoilers which build of elves do y’all think would be best? G/B to take advantage of the new mythic or G/W to use the new Emmara?

Front page items are often at zero. Is every post really that bad?

This sub is about getting help deck building. How about you make a constructive suggestion instead of down voting everything?

This is assuming any non-unset card is legal, 60 card format, max 4 in a playset, 20 life. Power nine, banned cards are all free game.

If not 100%, what would you consider to be the most consistent to win on T1?

The greatest myths and taboos about using cards at casual tables in Commander.

Some Magic cards cause a stir of only being mentioned in several groups, after all, who has never heard a complaint about [[Stasis]], [[Armageddon]], [[Urza, Lord High Artificer]] or [[Thassa's Oracle]] ?

The suggestion of this article comes from the unrest that occurs in a large part of the community, however, these cards are really problematic, or they would be the target of injustice. I have a complementary suggestion for this title: “Top 10 cards that should be banned from every Commander table without a good conversation”.

Yes, again that conversation about *Rule 0*, we should all talk about it before every game. Not only about using a silver border or using a side deck, but also about the expectations of each player. Some of us prefer lighter, creature-based games, while others prefer fast-paced, optimized decks. I have a positive experience in this regard, [[Stasis]], Mass Land Destruction, Fast Combos, all are part of the reality of different groups I live with.
