Frequently asked questions

Affinity is a free deck builder that recommends cards by mechanical synergy and obscurity instead of popularity — so you build a deck that plays like yours, not a net-deck. It goes deepest in Commander (EDH), but you can build and play any format.
A deterministic scoring engine rates every card on synergy, role coverage, mana curve, color sources and novelty, then explains each pick in plain terms. There is no AI guessing — the same deck always scores the same way.
No. EDHREC ranks by how often a card is played; Affinity ranks by how well a card fits your commander’s mechanics, surfacing hidden gems a popularity list buries. A novelty dial slides from proven staples to deep cuts.
Deck doctor + power/bracket assessment, a goldfish simulator, combo detection, a color-source (Frank-Karsten) check, and a force-directed synergy graph of your deck.
Yes — Standard, Pioneer, Modern, Pauper, Legacy and Vintage all build, save and play-track at the table. Commander is where the synergy engine and build coach go deepest; every other format gets deck-building, legality checks, the analysis lenses that apply, and the game tracker.
