MTG Master

Smarter deckbuilding and analysis for MTG Commander players

What it does

MTG Master is a platform I built for Magic: The Gathering players, especially Commander fans who want to understand how their decks actually play, not just how they look on paper. It helps analyze mana, opening hands, combos, and overall deck structure so players can spot weaknesses, improve consistency, and make better deckb uilding decisions with more confidence.

    I taught LLMs to play Magic: The Gathering against each otherFeb 2026 · mage-bench.com · ▲117

    I've been teaching LLMs to play Magic: The Gathering recently, via MCP tools hooked up to the open-source XMage codebase. It's still pretty buggy and I think there's significant room for existing models to get better at it via tooling improvements, but it pretty much works today. The ratings for expensive frontier models are artificially low right now because I've been focusing on cheaper models until I work out the bugs, so they don't have a lot of games in the system.

    Mana Pool – Market for Magic Cards2023 · manapool.com · ▲123

    Hi folks. I launched my first startup on HN 15 years ago (see my profile), and I wanted to post here again now. Like my last one, this project comes from one of my life's passions. I have played Magic: The Gathering for 30 years. My co-founders and I think Magic deserves its own market, and this thinking will lead to dozens of ways to make a great app. We consider what we have an MVP, and we are all going to MagicCon this weekend in Las Vegas to walk around in our Mana Pool shirts and talk to people about the future. If HN likes the site, I would appreciate you crashing it before we head out…

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
