Two ways to forge a deck

Both flows use the same pipeline — Architect → Builder → Judge → Combo Reviewer → Mana Architect. They differ in the AI model and the intensity of the iterations.

🧠

Grand Architect

~5–10 min

Runs on the premium reasoning model. The Judge can reject the deck and demand fixes, the Combo Reviewer hunts hidden win conditions, and a Malice pass stress-tests it against meta threats.

Best for

Polished, competitive builds you actually plan to play
Tricky commanders that need deep synergy reasoning
When you have a few minutes and want the best output

⚡

Lightning Brew

~1–3 min

Same pipeline on a lighter, faster model. Single-pass build with Scryfall validation and Mana Architect, but no Judge refinement loop — you get a playable deck quickly.

Best for

Quick brainstorming and shell exploration
Trying multiple commanders back-to-back
Casual decks where speed matters more than polish

Both flows pull real cards from EDHREC, validate every name against Scryfall, respect your bracket and budget, and export to Moxfield / Archidekt.
