Add function to identify how many cards in a deck apply to certain "Game Changer" cards.
{"ops":[{"insert":"Problem: The site currently shows a quick suggestion of deck tiers based on the official rules published by WOTC. This is helpful in most cases, but can be misleading in certain fringe cases. \nExample: I built a tier 1 exhibition deck with a commander + 99 tapped lands. One of those lands is \"The World Tree\" which is noted as a Game Changer because it is a \"non-land tutor\". My deck has ZERO cards that can be tutored by the last ability of The World Tree and is running the card only for the mana fixing static ability. Archidekt currently suggests the deck is Bracket 2 and could be confusing for users that are not aware of this circumstance.\n\nProposal: The site could determine which cards on the Game Changer list are dependent on other variables in the deck. In my specific example, Archidekt could note that The World Tree is a non-land tutor for God creature cards. When added to a deck, Archidekt would then scan for the total number of cards that fit that criteria. This is helpful in two ways:\nWhen the check returns 0, it can alert the user that a Game Changer is included in the deck, but there is no synergy present and thus will not affect the suggested tier placement."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"When the check returns a higher numbers, it can alert the user of both the Game Changer presence AND the quantity of cards synergizing with the effect. This would be more informative to the user in the deck building process to understand how much impact the Game Changer could be having."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Ideally, this information would then be easier to communicate to playgroups and cause less confusion when discussing appropriate power at the table.\n\nThank you for your time and consideration.\n"}]}

What you're asking for is potentially doable with an AI solution; attempt to gather context of any given card, as well as further context within the deck. But I have no desire to use tools like that in this context (as it'd likely be wrong or inaccruate often enough that it wouldn't be worth using, not to mention the ethical implications). \n\nThe estimator tool is fine as it is. It's meant to be taken as an estimate, not a whole truth as we'll never be likely to guage context, or intent from users. I'd recommend if anyone thinks the tool is inaccruate to set their deck's bracket manually.\n"}]}
