AI Deck Builder — Nicol Bolas
Deck Forge is MTGAI's AI-powered deck builder. Tell Nicol Bolas what you want to play — a tribal Commander deck, a budget Modern aggro list, or a control shell — and the AI assembles a coherent 60- or 100-card list with explanations for every pick.
What Deck Forge does
Unlike a static card search, Deck Forge understands deckbuilding constraints: format legality, color identity, mana curve, synergy and role distribution. It suggests cards that work together, not just popular staples in isolation.
You can refine the list in conversation — swap a card, lower the budget, add more removal or ramp — and the AI adjusts the whole deck while keeping the strategy coherent.
Who it is for
New players who want a solid starting list without memorising thousands of cards. Experienced players prototyping a new archetype or exploring an off-meta commander. Anyone who wants a second opinion on curve, land count or synergy gaps before buying cards.
Example prompts
Try: "Build a budget Rakdos sacrifice Commander deck under $50" or "60-card Mono-Red Aggro for Pioneer with good sideboard options." The more specific you are about format, colors and play style, the better the result.
How to use Deck Forge
- Open Deck Forge and choose your format (Commander, Standard, Modern, etc.).
- Describe the deck you want — colors, strategy, budget and any must-include cards.
- Review the AI-generated list: check the mana curve, synergy notes and suggested swaps.
- Iterate: ask for more ramp, fewer creatures, or a specific card replaced.
- Export or save the list for playtesting with our Print tool.
