Built out of necessity.
Opened out of curiosity.
The honest story behind Deckaugur.
MTG is a hobby of mine. And like most hobbies, it quietly got out of hand.
The collection grew faster than my ability to keep track of it. What cards did I actually own? Which ones were gifted to a friend, traded away, or sold at a market three years ago? I kept a wishlist, pulled cards from packs with specific decks in mind, and then ordered those same cards online anyway because I could not remember what I already had.
I looked for tools. There are plenty of deckbuilders, plenty of card databases, plenty of price trackers. But I could not find anything that let me manage my collection the way I actually needed: search within what I own, see what is free versus locked into a deck, track where a card went when it left my hands, and get suggestions drawn from cards I already have rather than the full Scryfall catalog.
I did not find any tools that did what I needed, so I began to build my own.
What started as a small personal utility kept growing. A collection importer, a trade log, a synergy engine that reads oracle text and maps which cards pull in the same direction. At some point it became clear that the tool was only as good as the data behind it, and that data gets better the more decks are tested against it.
It is still a hobby. I do not have the resources to manually verify every tag, every synergy link, every ruling edge case across the full card pool. The engine works well for the decks I am actively building, and I can correct synergy entries as I go. But not every archetype or play pattern is documented equally well yet.
That is exactly why I decided to open it up. More decks, more commanders, more feedback from people who know cards I have never sleeved means the engine gets more accurate for everyone. If you flag a card that is tagged wrong, that correction benefits every future user searching for the same synergy.
The idea stays the same: a deckbuilder that works from what you own, that remembers what you traded away, and that suggests cards based on the direction your deck is actually heading rather than what is generically popular.
