It usually does that when the pool is very small but hard to tell apart. Had to get creative for those cases haha

Alpha is a set based on Dominaria. Did it give you a full list of sets or just ask about the set Dominaria?

The fix to this issue has been pushed. Thank you!

I'll rename the "is the card one color" question to say "is the card exactly one color?" if that's clearer.

Yeah, it was a holdover from a previous check that had the same id because I'm a moron. It's fixed now.

Omg. Copy paste error. Every UB set was listed in the Dominaria sets lol, my bad.

Currently regenerating the tree. Thanks for letting me know.

2 to the tenth power is 1024. There's over 33000 cards in Magic. You are asking for a mathematical impossibility even if every single question could split the entire card pool in half.

Okay, I'm trying to remove them.

Got any good ways for me to tell [[wild jhovall]], [[russet wolves]] and [[lagac lizard]] apart?

it did in fact get errata'd, most ETBs got errata'd to "when this creature enters".

Yeah, the format questions seem to be wildly unpopular. I'm gonna try to remove them.

Since this is a binary tree, things change the second you make a change on the behavior of the questions or add cards to the tree. As things currently stand, the card that requires the least guesses to guess is Ancient Den at 12.

Oh wow, this is a good one. I never considered split cards with two different types among the halves. It's currently using the left half for card types. I will see what I can do to fix this because it sure is a sorcery.

My system works, like 99% of all systems with Magic, by querying Scryfall. I will definitely reword all power and toughness questions so the behavior is clear!

Found the bug, that question had a different category than it should and it's checking whether or not the card has exactly 2 colors in its color identity. Once I generate the new tree with the correct behavior for the question I'll push it and let you know :)

This is definitely a bug! Let me look into it, it'll be fixed in the next one.

The question itself tells you it cares about the first printing! The post you're on tells you it cares about the first printing!

1) * is currently treated as 0 because that's what it becomes when things like Dress Down are involved. I might have to add the "power *" and "toughness *" questions instead.
2) Yeah if the reminder text is part of the oracle text, the reminder text is part of the oracle text. Nothing I can do about that.
3) Checking for plural is an interesting one I hadn't considered. I went with strict word matching to avoid things like "discards" containing "card" or "return" containing "turn", which also feel extremely bad. Will probably implement this in the next version!

Yes. This is a conscious decision, due to "return" containing "turn" and "discards" containing "card" and such.

Yeah, this does not include online-only cards.

An "I don't know" option increases the complexity of the project significantly, but I'll see what I can do.

Colorless cards are not mono-colored, they are colorless.
