This is a super fricking fun idea. I want to see more of these episodes. Drafting them by name is such an entertaining concept (the draft is actually more fun than watching the gameplay later ,though they work well together.)
I think with a little refinement, this could become a skill-testing real format. In fact, the 'AI-powered drafting by name' mechanic can probably just get dropped into a lot of games to provide a fresh experience.

@@Buugipopuu Did this with D&D, DM made a bunch of races, classes, and spells with an AI generator and we got to pick only by name, and had to make it work.
@@pokyhoky1234 I doubt the website does this but a GAN (generative adversarial network) can try to improve with the output it generates. This works by having two AI models where 1 AI is focused on assesing if a Card is real or made by wizzards of the coast and the other is focused on creating cards. In such a scenario after both have been sufficently trained on data models its entirely possible that they can become better as they are trained. This is used in General image generation AIs. The site states a couple AI models it uses to generate everything. It seems to use pre trained model for text further trained on the text of all magic cards and an image generation model thats limited by the name and color of the card being generated. I assume the color identity and mana cost are also based on the name by another small AI. I feel like the adversarial AI could be almost entirely trained on the rules of magic if someone can figure out a way to teach it via data as you cant just give it rules. Could also just have a programm check for rule legality on card text and simply discard anything that would break them and just have a way to set how strict it is...
@@chadoftoons according to the website it uses a Large Language Model from OpenAI, but you could definitely improve the model by using the LLM as the generator and train a discriminator to classify as “real” or “fake”. It would probably very quickly learn legality rules since that would be one of the best ways to tell if it is fake or not. (Honestly think I might steal this for a ML project in one of my classes lol, thanks)
3:22 , after the "Warchief goblin MAster", I wanted him to type "Berserker Shaman" for his next cards. that way, the ability of the warxhief would actually turn it into something.
I love the draft concept, could possibly benefit from a larger draft pool to circumvent the inevitable useless/gibberish cards. AI commander COULD be interesting, though probably exhausting to generate.
12:20 this is one of the most awesome mono red burn art I've seen. And it fits the name of the card so well. Sadly the card is a bit to mana intensive for its effect.
Both methods are pretty great. Watching you guys try to figure out how to tell an AI to make the cards you wanted is probably the one I prefer, though.
This videos format was super hilarious to watch! I loved seeing y'all just go back and forth trying to get better cards against each other and ultimately failing! Great stuff!
So that emrakul dies the turn after you play it because you won't have lost any life at the start next turn making it a 0/0 the first time state based actions are checked....it essentially reads just etb you become the monarch.
@@benjaminlaing3035 you could make it huge if you have a "free" life paying outlet, like "Pay 1 life: target creature gets +0/+1". Then you give it haste and it could wreak some havoc.
@@Hornswroggle IIUC state based actions are checked and resolved before you actually get priority. So you would not have an oppertunity to pay that 1 life. (Since to do so you would need to get priority, which means that state based actions have been checked and the creature is dead)
@@taemyr that's why they said it had to have haste. Now, you could make it live beyond the first turn if you give it some toughness, like a +1/+1 counter. Not that it would be a good creature.
First card I put in: Graveyard Shuffle. 2 cost black sorcery, target player discards 2 cards. Couple really bad outcomes, then I tried Feline Titan. 4 and double red, 6/6 giant. As long as you control a giant (so always) it gets +1/+0. Pay 1 and a red to give it trample until end of turn. Flavor text: Every day was a lesson for the cat.
He was searching for big creatures and never once used the word "Eldrazi." drove me mad. Typed in "Eldrazi titan, eldrazi giant, eldrazi mammoth" and got a bunch of chonkey reanimate targets.
That Emrakul is completely useless unless you can give be it haste. */* Means it's P/T keeps check (and is set regardless of zone), so it would instantly die the moment a new turn starts.
This was great! Drafting by naming cards is an AWESOME idea- I love that there's a strategy in the drafting stage and the decks have at least SOME theme to them.
Just tried out the card generator and I actually got the Goblin Lord effect you wanted on my first try! Don't you remember "Hasty Goblin Squirrel", the 1 and a green 1/1 Squirrel that gives +1/+1 to all other Goblins? Might be worth considering a splash! Loved the video, hope to see more like this!
Love that app, thank you for sharing. Just got a creature card that says: If a source would deal damage to you, it deals double that damage to target creature instead... it's a 2 mana 1/1 creature :p. Hope for them they got removal :p
This was great. I liked both formats of AI generated cards and it's hard to say which one seems more fun with just seeing one of each. This style of video seems like it could go either way, giving you something great or terrible, but I guess you could just scrap the terrible ones and have a do-over. The other video had more absurd cards. I did laugh more at that one, but I also like the competitiveness of trying to make more specific cards. Really not sure which I like better. It'd be nice to see more of each.
0:32 I think that AI could hear him talking, as the generated card seemed to describe the situation he talked about with the subscriptions improving the channel.
The flavor text for the Demonic pact actually aounds like a legit text on some kind of lich. "No full path would be possible in life, so it is far better to seek it in death."
This is my new favourite MTG format. Move over Commander, AI-draft just played Emrakul, Queen of the Big and Bad and has now become the monarch! (Just ignore the flavour text, I'm sure that won't be prophetic at all)
I didn't even try to make a goblin and my first attempt was a goblin: Shenanigan bonanza Sorcery 3R Create a 1/1 red goblin creature token with haste. _ 'I thought a gift had been tied to the name of the skulking Yawgmoth' - Orcish scout
You should mix the two formats! Do the pre generated deck but create a way for each player to draft mid match. Give each deck 8 cards named: Urza's Artificial Intelligence {1 colorless} Instant Draft a card using Urza's Artificial Intelligence. A deck may have 8 copies of this card. That way it is mostly pregen random surprise, but the players have a chance to try to generate a card with the effect they need mid game to add to their hand. It might take longer to film, but in the video you can just cut, print the card out, and resume filming after printing the card. The 8 copies is to ensure each players gets a couple chances to use it throughout the game.
The website should really have a temperature setting! I've gotten some unique output out of my model by turning up the heat a little ;) Also, it kinda needs a field that specifies the type of card!
This looks like a good example of how play testing in '93 went down. Life gain beat card draw, therefore three cards are equal to three life for one mana.
I actually tried the goblin tribal, and I must say, either I am god lucky or I understand goblin names better. Even the bad ones are actually good in Tribal albeit, just underwhelming compared to the actually broken crap. Here are my results Klinko, Goblin War-General 1c1r Creature - Goblin Warrior Other Goblin creatures you control get +1/+1. 1r, sacrifice another Goblin: You gain control of target Goblin creature you control (lol) 2/2 Gobta, Goblin Deathrider 1c1r *insert image of 3 Green Goblin style Hogs used as a base for a race-cart videogame style badass monster truck* Creature - Goblin 1r, sacrifice a Goblin: Destroy target land (WTF BROKEN) 2/2 Squee, Goblin Necromancer 1c1r Goblin Rogue Other Goblin creatures you control get +1/+1 "His mind is a cavern of rotting things, and the other goblins are consumed by the rest" (idk wtf that means but it sounds badass) 2/2 Gol, Darksteel Hobgoblin 1c1b *Image of a discolored living metal statue featuring a Goblin Warrior, Goblin Shaman, Wolf, and what appears to be the load for a catapult?* Creature - Goblin Whenever you cast a creature spell, exile the top card of your graveyard.

Idk if that means tap a red permanent, or what lol.

I really do enjoy these weird decks series. I was looking for a channel that does stuff like this for mtg (there's lots for ygo and some for pokemon) and I couldn't find anything until I got recommended this series from you guys. I'm loving it so far.
Sphere of Protection Red's flavor text was surprisingly apt considering Thoralf's position at that part of the draft: "My team's strategy has gone awry. But they won't let this loss stop them." Reanimator didn't work out? That's okay, SPHERES!
I decided to try a few myself: "Thunder and Lightning": Cost 2R, Instant. Deals 3 damage to any target. Okay, so it's a Lightning Bolt that's overpriced, but certainly usable. "Pikachu": Cost 1B, Creature - Rat, 1/1. When Pikachu enters the battlefield, it gets +1/+1 until end of turn. I didn't expect it to be a black creature, and that ETB ability is likely not going to be all that helpful. "Some Guy": Cost 1B, Creature - Human, 1/1. Tap: Target creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn. That sounds pretty good. "Destroy the World": ...It's a blank card. No cost, no type, no rules text. Welp, I'm gonna try that again. "Destroy the World" (take 2): Cost 2U, Instant. Exile target creature. If you cast this spell during your main phase, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control at the beginning of the next end step. Okay, that's pretty powerful. Just gotta make sure I don't cast it during my main phase, or else the removal is only temporary. However, if my opponent stole a creature from me, I could cast this during my main phase to effectively steal it back. "Bolonga and Cheese Sandwich": Cost 1, Artifact Creature - Dryad, 1/1. When you cast a noncreature spell, sacrifice a permanent. Oof, that sounds awful. I suppose it can serve as a 1-drop on turn 1, but I'll probably want to eat the sandwich itself when I go to cast a noncreature spell later. Tried leaving the name field blank for the next one: "Moldwrack Swarm": Cost 2U, Creature - Faerie Beast, 0/3. Flying. U: Untap all permanents of artifact creatures you control get +1/+1. That last ability has grammar issues, and is absurdly broken. It's instantly infinite mana and infinite power and toughness for my artifact creatures, as long as I control at least two lands, with at least one being an Island. And, since it costs 2U to cast, I'll almost definitely already have that much land. "Goblin Video Gamer": Cost R, Creature - Goblin, 1/1. R, Sacrifice a Goblin: It deals 2 damage to any target. Ooh, that definitely fits the Goblin theme perfectly, and would've been really helpful in Carl's Mono-Red Goblins deck! "100% Orange Juice": Cost 2U, Instant. Target creature gets -1/-0 until end of turn. ...That's unfortunately underwhelming. It couldn't have been a much greater debuff for the cost? "Yu-Gi-Oh!": Cost 2U, Instant. You may exile two target creatures rather than pay this spell's mana cost. Counter target spell. Well then! The heart of the cards was definitely with this one! The way it's worded, I can even exile the opponent's creatures in order to cast this for free! "Blue-Eyes White Dragon": Cost 2UU, Creature - Human, 3/3. Flying. Blue-Eyes White Dragon loses flying. ...So, it's a human, not a dragon, and it cancels out its own flying ability, basically making it just a plain 3/3 for 4 mana. Oops.
Decent video. Thanks for uploading! I think I prefer the old format for AI made cards. The entertainment factor came from just how off the wall the AI-generated cards were. These ones are more like regular Magic cards, without anything exceptional in what they do, besides some of them being SLIGHTLY overpowered, if they're not just really balanced or just plain bad.Also, drafting by name is less exciting; It kills the surprise factor of seeing them played & it's so much time of not playing the game. I'll want to know what cards the AI made, but I'd rather just be able to look at a list from a link in the description.
I really like the AI generated cards format. If you would like some more ideas in that direction (I know I'd like to see them), maybe have a look at "RoboRosewater Masters Spiral Chaos" and RoboRosewater in general. RoboRosewater seems to generate more functional cards, that are interesting by breaking color pie and power level expectations. LRR did a draft of the previously mentioned set, which was very fun and apparently there is a whole community around AI-generated Magic cards.
Since the AI generates different results for the same name, you could format it such that you enter in the name twice and the player gets to pick which generated card they want. Alternatively, you could get a list of 15 banned magic cards, enter those in 3 times, and each player drafts 1 from those picks, with first pick alternating.
This was fun. I would recommend having someone else make the cards with a list of key words put by the players so that you still have the element of surprise when playing them.
The answer is always goblins, throw enough of them and the problem goes away. - Gorlack, Goblin blitzmaster Idk if it's an actual flavor text from MtG but I remember reading something similar.
I had hoped the AI would be better (maybe try using the Advanced Options?) but it's still a super funny video ^_^ I laughed so freaking hard at the 4 toughness dude and your reactions haha. Maybe, if we get to live another 5-7 years, Urza's AI is gonna pop out really interesting cards. But at that point Wizards is probably designing the real cards with AI already haha.
Just used it and got Great Goblin 2 colorless 1 red 2/2 Legendary Goblin When Great Goblin enters the battlefield you gain protection from the colors of the opponents deck. When Great Goblin attacks, reveal the top card of your opponents library, choose one. Put the card in your hand. "They're learning" WHY IS THIS SUCH PERFECT GOBLIN ENERGY

Damn i saw the title and was like not really sold on watching it but then i did and i have to admit this was hella fun ^^'...
I haven't watched the other AI one, but I really enjoyed this epsiode!
'it kills him' must be the most accurate goblin flavour text
This was awesome! Do it again!!
This quick generation with a draft format is perfect!
Thanks! Will do!
Totally a missplay, should have generated "Emrakul, devourer of cake"
This was amazing! Also I think Thoralf didn't read 4 Toughess dude close enough, since it can put the counters on any creature you control.
I decided to try a few myself:
"Thunder and Lightning": Cost 2R, Instant. Deals 3 damage to any target.
Okay, so it's a Lightning Bolt that's overpriced, but certainly usable.
"Pikachu": Cost 1B, Creature - Rat, 1/1. When Pikachu enters the battlefield, it gets +1/+1 until end of turn.
I didn't expect it to be a black creature, and that ETB ability is likely not going to be all that helpful.
"Some Guy": Cost 1B, Creature - Human, 1/1. Tap: Target creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn.
That sounds pretty good.
"Destroy the World":
...It's a blank card. No cost, no type, no rules text. Welp, I'm gonna try that again.
"Destroy the World" (take 2): Cost 2U, Instant. Exile target creature. If you cast this spell during your main phase, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control at the beginning of the next end step.
Okay, that's pretty powerful. Just gotta make sure I don't cast it during my main phase, or else the removal is only temporary. However, if my opponent stole a creature from me, I could cast this during my main phase to effectively steal it back.
"Bolonga and Cheese Sandwich": Cost 1, Artifact Creature - Dryad, 1/1. When you cast a noncreature spell, sacrifice a permanent.
Oof, that sounds awful. I suppose it can serve as a 1-drop on turn 1, but I'll probably want to eat the sandwich itself when I go to cast a noncreature spell later.
Tried leaving the name field blank for the next one:
"Moldwrack Swarm": Cost 2U, Creature - Faerie Beast, 0/3. Flying. U: Untap all permanents of artifact creatures you control get +1/+1.
That last ability has grammar issues, and is absurdly broken. It's instantly infinite mana and infinite power and toughness for my artifact creatures, as long as I control at least two lands, with at least one being an Island. And, since it costs 2U to cast, I'll almost definitely already have that much land.
"Goblin Video Gamer": Cost R, Creature - Goblin, 1/1. R, Sacrifice a Goblin: It deals 2 damage to any target.
Ooh, that definitely fits the Goblin theme perfectly, and would've been really helpful in Carl's Mono-Red Goblins deck!
"100% Orange Juice": Cost 2U, Instant. Target creature gets -1/-0 until end of turn.
...That's unfortunately underwhelming. It couldn't have been a much greater debuff for the cost?
"Yu-Gi-Oh!": Cost 2U, Instant. You may exile two target creatures rather than pay this spell's mana cost. Counter target spell.
Well then! The heart of the cards was definitely with this one! The way it's worded, I can even exile the opponent's creatures in order to cast this for free!
"Blue-Eyes White Dragon": Cost 2UU, Creature - Human, 3/3. Flying. Blue-Eyes White Dragon loses flying.
...So, it's a human, not a dragon, and it cancels out its own flying ability, basically making it just a plain 3/3 for 4 mana. Oops.
THIS VIDEO IS GREAT THEY SPEAK IN ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME AND USE NO PUNCTUATION ITS SO GREAT GUYS
This was incredible! We need more of this!
MOAR AI generated chaos
is so fun to try to make something from the broken mess
This was super fun format of doing this AI thing. Had a blast watching this.
I would love for this to be a more regular format. Urza would be proud.
loved watching the deckbuild!!!
Oh god, that nonstop nervous shuffling of the hand cards is even worse when they're proxies
Emrakul just dies to state-based actions at the beginning of upkeep
I absolutely love these. PLEASE keep making them.
Decent video. Thanks for uploading! I think I prefer the old format for AI made cards.
The entertainment factor came from just how off the wall the AI-generated cards were. These ones are more like regular Magic cards, without anything exceptional in what they do, besides some of them being SLIGHTLY overpowered, if they're not just really balanced or just plain bad.Also, drafting by name is less exciting; It kills the surprise factor of seeing them played & it's so much time of not playing the game. I'll want to know what cards the AI made, but I'd rather just be able to look at a list from a link in the description.
Literally one of the best ideas for an MTG video!
I really like the AI generated cards format. If you would like some more ideas in that direction (I know I'd like to see them), maybe have a look at "RoboRosewater Masters Spiral Chaos" and RoboRosewater in general. RoboRosewater seems to generate more functional cards, that are interesting by breaking color pie and power level expectations.
LRR did a draft of the previously mentioned set, which was very fun and apparently there is a whole community around AI-generated Magic cards.
I thought the goblin deck would stomp the esper one into the ground, but the fact that they ended up so balanced is just crazy lol.
I like the deck building. It's fun to see the process
Build a deck is awesome, this was way more fun to watch and totally worth subscribing for
Welcome aboard!
I love this format!
Please do more of this in the future :)
Will do!
We need a lot more of these videos. Also, great shirt Carl!
Thanks! Will do!
A surprisingly fun video. I'd love to see more!
More is coming!
The fact that Green Goblin has flying is hilarious
Would love to see more of this! It's such a good idea
More to come!
Since the AI generates different results for the same name, you could format it such that you enter in the name twice and the player gets to pick which generated card they want.
Alternatively, you could get a list of 15 banned magic cards, enter those in 3 times, and each player drafts 1 from those picks, with first pick alternating.
had a lot of fun with this one, hope you do it more often
Oh my god, the flavor text on these are amazing.
Finally the format we all were waiting for
This was fun. I would recommend having someone else make the cards with a list of key words put by the players so that you still have the element of surprise when playing them.
I loved the first video, but I definitely preferred watching you guys "make" the cards and then playing with those cards
Thank you!
The answer is always goblins, throw enough of them and the problem goes away. - Gorlack, Goblin blitzmaster
Idk if it's an actual flavor text from MtG but I remember reading something similar.
"The thunder is about to blow" Fucking KILLED ME
I can't believe MTG memes are the things that make me laugh the hardest lol! Keep it up xD
I had hoped the AI would be better (maybe try using the Advanced Options?) but it's still a super funny video ^_^ I laughed so freaking hard at the 4 toughness dude and your reactions haha. Maybe, if we get to live another 5-7 years, Urza's AI is gonna pop out really interesting cards. But at that point Wizards is probably designing the real cards with AI already haha.
Just used it and got
Great Goblin 2 colorless 1 red
2/2 Legendary Goblin
When Great Goblin enters the battlefield you gain protection from the colors of the opponents deck.
When Great Goblin attacks, reveal the top card of your opponents library, choose one. Put the card in your hand.
"They're learning"
WHY IS THIS SUCH PERFECT GOBLIN ENERGY
This episode got me to subscribe, I'd love to see more "AI draft by name" content in the future. It was a blast!
Welcome aboard!
Carl's plan was immaculate, and without flaw. there is no stopping the Goblin.
He heard that!
