The problem. A card list does not show whether a deck works.

A deck can have the right number of cards and still lack draw, removal or the colored sources to cast its spells. Players need to check those gaps against their own plan and budget.

The approach. Keep the list and the analysis together.

Paste a decklist or import a supported deck URL. Cards are sorted into functional roles, with checks for mana, consistency, price and legality. Edit the list, change a role or try a suggested swap, then inspect the updated report. Sample hands and a playtest table let players try the result.

Roles and gapsRamp, draw, removal and other roles are compared with a target template. Players can override the detected roles and see the analysis update.
Check the manaColored sources are compared with spell requirements. Land-drop odds and sample hands show how the list behaves across early turns.
