    Haven’t used it and likely never will, but I have to wonder what goes into its process. Does it just pull top hits from EDHRec that match keywords? Does it assign point values and roles to cards to figure out utility or “competitiveness?” Does it give you any explanation for a card being included? Half the joy of the format for me is the puzzle and discovery of deckbuilding. I understand why tools like this and EDHRec exist, but I’m certainly not the target user.

      Their about page (https://edhgen.ai/about) implies they are using an algorithm that plays games of magic to train the AI against known good decks. Which will give no insight as to why it includes a card, but will take into account all the utility side of things. Or is will to the extent that it’s game playing engine can make strategic choices (which it probably can’t)
