Commander Deck Tuner
Overview
Structured process for analyzing and tuning MTG Commander decks. Every recommendation MUST be grounded in actual card oracle text from Scryfall — never from training data.
The Iron Rule
NEVER assume what a card does. Before referencing any card's abilities, look up its oracle text via the helper scripts. Training data is not oracle text.
Progress Tracking
Before starting Step 1, create a TodoWrite list with one item per top-level Step in this skill, in order:
- Step 1: Parse Deck List
- Step 2: Hydrate Card Data
- Step 2.5: Baseline Metrics
- Step 3: User Intake
- Step 4: Research
