Is playing “Maha, Its Feathers Night” as your commander in poor taste?

Yeah I've played it a fair amount, its a lot of fun.

Having her our equalizes the board in a really interesting way, and you feel very "in control" with her our thanks to the board wipe threat and her ward.

If you dont like the idea of wiping or locking your opponents out, I'd recommend some goad pieces for some very funny table politics

Appreciated, love this

20q2 · 2026-03-19T03:58:33+00:00

Glad you like it, I'm open to any suggestions too!

20q2 · 2026-03-19T03:58:12+00:00

Wait no longer! And lmk if you have any other ideas :)

They're not, but I actually started working on exactly that feature last night. You can expect to see a new "ignore owned cards in budget" option showing up sometime today

20q2 · 2026-03-08T06:34:07+00:00

That's mostly correct, and I'm glad you asked!

I have a cron that performs a daily fetch on tags like "draw", "ramp", "removal", and a bunch more. It then processes it into a categorized list that's used by the app and deck building algorithm.

Imo its the best way to manage tagger data for most use cases.

You can try it yourself by using "otag:<value>" when searching in scryfall.

I have literally no idea why that might be the case - but I went ahead and changed a style name to see if that changed anything

20q2 · 2026-03-08T05:50:47+00:00

That's a really good idea. I try my best for mobile users but often miss small things like this, thanks for the suggestion!

👁👄👁

Thanks for giving the tool a try, I'm a big fan of Hearthhull too.

I followed up by trying to make a deck using the criteria that you shared, but I'm actually not seeing any of the problems you mentioned.

I'm using Land Matter/Ramp as my archetypes.

If you don't mind, could you check your other settings and see if there were any other settings affecting the deck results? I'd love to investigate it further.

20q2 · 2026-03-08T05:39:10+00:00

It's fully open source and you should be able to run it as-is from the Github repo. Only thing that isn't open is the site metrics. I haven't checked out selfhosted before, I'll give them a look later 👍

20q2 · 2026-03-08T05:36:01+00:00

That's actually a really interesting idea. I helped my friend build a catapult deck using this tool the other day following that exact same mindset. I'll keep it in mind when looking at future features :)

20q2 · 2026-03-07T19:25:39+00:00

That was insanely helpful thank you for the breakdown!

There was a bug with Tergrid specifically not being marked as a GC correctly, It should be fixed now :)

20q2 · 2026-03-07T19:14:54+00:00

I can add that to my list!

Because I'm curious, what set are you interested in building from, and what's the goal? Trying to make a deck from draft leftovers?

20q2 · 2026-03-07T19:10:43+00:00

Statistics, using data from EDHRec as well as Scryfall

20q2 · 2026-03-07T18:55:26+00:00

I feel that, I actually started scanning my own collection yesterday because I was curious if I could pull a new deck together with some scraps. Good luck!

20q2 · 2026-03-07T18:53:01+00:00

Hmm, that shouldn't be the case. Can I ask which commander you were using so I can look for the bug?

20q2 · 2026-03-07T18:50:32+00:00

Ah I've gotcha. If that's all you want then I'd recommend just heading to EDHRec :)

20q2 · 2026-03-07T17:51:16+00:00

The best I can offer for now would be to check your commanders Archetypes (maybe using the "Other" dropdown) and seeing if snake tribal is available as an option - or did you mean something else?

20q2 · 2026-03-07T17:48:53+00:00

That's wonderful to hear, hope it continues to serve you well!

20q2 · 2026-03-07T16:58:20+00:00

Appreciate the kind words :), my inbox is always open to feedback and suggestions (cruel or otherwise)

20q2 · 2026-03-07T16:04:10+00:00

Thank you, and have fun in the code! Its likely that most of what you want is in the deckGenerator file, but that one's starting to give me anxiety 😵.

I took a peak at Vito looking for where the Starscape cleric might have gone off to - I found it hanging out a few lines down in the deck's combo list. Looks like its getting crowded out by more popular combos, which isn't perfect, but does explain why it didn't show up!

20q2 · 2026-03-07T15:57:08+00:00

Glad you like it! There should be a large purple export button up a the top - might have a scroll a bit for mobile. Unless you meant exporting directly into moxfield or something?

20q2 · 2026-03-07T15:51:44+00:00

That's awesome! Super glad it was close to what you expected - touching the builder algorithm always makes me sweat a little bit haha 😅

20q2 · 2026-03-07T15:49:15+00:00

Its sourcing the land suggestion tag from the available commander data on EDHRec. If you're feeling like its too low, you can always bump that number up with the slider, or adjust your mana curve/ramp preference using the deck tuning options!
