Short answers to the product, storage, and AI workflow questions that come up most.
Adria MTG is a Magic: The Gathering toolkit for Limited drafting, Commander deckbuilding, and Standard metagame exploration. The app combines deterministic game logic, external card/meta data, and AI assistance where it adds value.
No. You can start drafting or exploring the app without signing up. If you create an account later, Adria can migrate anonymous draft data into that account.
The product is currently free to use during open beta. Future paid tiers may add premium features, but the current core workflows are available without a subscription. See Pricing for the current hosted coaching and BYO key model.
Anonymous drafts are tied to a browser-held anonymous ID, but the actual draft session data is persisted server-side. Clearing browser storage can break the link to that anonymous ID, which is why creating an account is the safest way to keep long-lived history.
The draft coach can provide post-pick analysis, pick grading, and pre-pick reasoning prompts. The scoring logic also uses draft context, curve pressure, color commitment, and 17Lands-backed card performance where available.
Yes. Coaching is optional. You can draft with the coach off and still use the simulator and post-draft review flows.
The app supports OpenRouter and Anthropic. Depending on where you store your key, the setup differs: anonymous or browser-only usage can use a locally stored OpenRouter key in Settings, while logged-in users can save an encrypted server-side key on their Profile.
There are two paths today. The Settings page stores an OpenRouter key in browser localStorage for local-only use. Logged-in users can also save a server-side encrypted key on their Profile, which supports provider selection and keeps the raw key off the client after save.
The app focuses on Standard-legal sets and keeps the set list in sync from external card data sources. Draft packs use real card data, and the app layers in cached ratings and heuristics on top of that pool.
Pick grades are contextual. A card is not graded in isolation; it is evaluated against the rest of the pack and your current pool, including color fit, synergy, curve, and replacement-level alternatives.
Yes. Adria uses 17Lands-backed statistics where available to enrich card evaluation and draft feedback. That data complements, rather than replaces, the app's own draft-state logic.
Yes. Draft sessions are persisted and can be resumed. Account-backed storage is the most durable option, but anonymous sessions can also be continued as long as the browser still has the anonymous ID that links back to the saved data.
Use the Import Guide. It covers supported export styles, Limited versus Standard versus Commander imports, and what happens after Adria parses your list.
Commander support includes commander search, AI-assisted brewing, deck import, saved deck editing, color-identity validation, bracket estimation, and deck analysis on saved lists.
Yes. The app tracks bracket context, checks color identity, and flags game-changer style cards relative to the selected bracket.
Standard metagame views are built from fetched external meta data, normalized into archetypes, matchup views, and AI-assisted analysis. The codebase currently pulls that data from MTGGoldfish-oriented fetchers and related parsers.
It is the part of the app that tries to identify underplayed or exploitable pockets in the current Standard field and turn them into deck ideas or brew directions.
The app relies on external services for card data and images (Scryfall), draft-performance stats (17Lands), LLM access (OpenRouter and Anthropic), and Standard metagame sourcing.
