Show HN: MTGThing – Precise EDH Power Level Analysis
mtgthing.com
I've built MTGThing, a web app that uses a custom algorithm to accurately assess Commander deck power levels. Here's why it's different:
Bracket-based analysis: Leverages established power level brackets (casual, focused, optimized, competitive) and applies weighted scoring to card choices, mana curve, and synergies.
Its based on the blogpost published the other day about the bracket system: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/introducing-...
Tech stack:
Frontend: React with TypeScript
Database: PostgreSQL for deck storage, Redis for caching
I built this because existing tools lacked granularity. Early feedback has been positive, but I need more data to improve the algorithm.

I'd love your feedback on the algorithm, UX, or any ideas for additional features. How would you approach the challenge of quantifying deck power?
