Under the hood

How It Works

Specialized AI agents that search real card databases and official rules sources, and answer with citations you can check — in seconds.

Unlike generic chatbots, each agent is an expert in its domain with access to Scryfall (40,000+ cards), the Comprehensive Rules, RulesGuru, and Stack Exchange. Ask a question, and the right specialist responds with sourced answers you can verify.

What Makes This MTG AI Different

A purpose-built AI bot for Magic: The Gathering — not a generic chatbot

Specialized MTG AI Agents

Unlike generic AI chatbots, MTG Agents runs purpose-built agents for different tasks - one for rules, one for deck building - and routes each question to the right one automatically.

Real-Time Data Integration

Our agents have direct access to up-to-date MTG databases including Scryfall (40,000+ cards), the Comprehensive Rules and community Q&A from RulesGuru and Stack Exchange.

Tool-Using AI Agents

Our agents don't just generate text - they actively search databases, look up rules, analyze decks, and retrieve real-time card information to provide accurate, verifiable answers.

Instant, Streaming Responses

Get answers in real-time as the agents "think through" your question. See which tools they're using, what searches they're running, and follow their reasoning as they build the response.

Source Citations

Every answer includes sources: rule numbers from the Comprehensive Rules, links to Scryfall card pages, references to community discussions, and more. You can always verify the information yourself.

Continuous Learning

Our system improves with each new MTG set release, community feedback, and interaction. The agents stay current with the latest cards, rules updates, and meta developments.
