Developer builds math-based TCG deck analyzer to replace unreliable LLM guesses
A developer has created the TCG Mana Curve Analyzer, an MCP server designed to bring deterministic mathematics to trading card game deckbuilding for titles like Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon. The tool addresses a key limitation of large language models, which tend to estimate card probabilities based on training patterns rather than precise combinatorial calculations. The server uses hypergeometric distribution logic and exposes three core tools — analyze_opening_hand, evaluate_mana_consistency, and optimize_land_count — to give players exact probability figures instead of approximations. It also accounts for real-world variables such as the London Mulligan rule, which affects how deck math should be calculated during competitive play. The goal is to let AI agents act as accurate deckbuilding consultants by offloading complex math to a dedicated engine rather than relying on a model's intuition.
