Nice job launching this site -- that's a big venture, and no easy feat! With recent consolidations (and shutdowns, like CardSphere) that the MTG world has seen, I think we're definitely in prime territory for needing a competing marketplace.

What would you say are your key differentiators in the market space? Lower fees? Better tools?

1) We want to do things like this: https://x.com/manapoolinc/status/1704199592601080241?s=20

2) We have low fees (5%) and my vision is zero fees, with all revenue coming from value-add SaaS for buyers and sellers. I hope to get there in a gradual way.

3) I do think we're really good at software too, and that stuff like Stripe Marketplace and off-the-shelf computer vision make the lift low.

4) We know a lot of Magic people, and the network is so dense that if our website gets good, everyone will know.
