Behind the counter
Meet the agents
Five people, each with one job they are good at. Three work the front desk and answer you directly; two work behind them — one writes everything you read here, and one keeps the door. Every answer comes with the reasoning behind it — nobody here just hands you a verdict.
At the front desk
Ask for any of them by name, or just describe what you need and the right one picks it up.
Carl
Deck Builder · Deck building
Builds and tunes decks with you, from a one-line idea to a legal 100-card list. Searches 40,000+ real cards for synergies that actually turn up in decks people play, and says why each card earned its slot — so you can argue back.
- Build from scratch
- Fix a deck that stalls
- Budget swaps
- Mana base and curve
“My mono-red aggro runs out of gas by turn 6.”

Trisha
Rules Expert · Rules & card interactions
Rules on the interaction and shows the working. Every answer cites the Comprehensive Rules, RulesGuru or the MTG Stack Exchange, so you can check it — and settle the argument with a source rather than a memory.
- Tricky interactions
- Stack & priority
- Layers & timestamps
- Commander rules
“Does deathtouch work with trample?”

Jake
Lore & Facts · MTG facts & lore
Knows the story. Planes, characters, set arcs and the odd bit of trivia, for when the question is about the world rather than the board state — or when you just want to talk Magic between games.
- Card & set lore
- Character backstories
- Story recaps
- Casual Magic chat
“Short version of the Phyrexian invasion?”

You never summon these two. One of them you read; the other you only notice when the answer is no.
