Purpose of the Data

The data gathered here supports a college research project at the University of Washington. It will serve as a benchmark to evaluate how accurately reasoning-based large language models (LLMs) can quantify card power and playability. Additionally, the data may be used to train machine learning models for similar predictions. Potential outcomes from this project include:

  • Class reports
  • Academic research papers
  • A Magic card power-level prediction bot
