<story><title>Show HN: Make your own AI-generated Magic: The Gathering cards with GPT-2</title><url>https://minimaxir.com/apps/gpt2-mtg/</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>YeGoblynQueenne</author><text>This is remarkably more coherent than previous attempts at M:tG card generation with a deep RNN [1] but on the other hand, the ability text on the few cards I&amp;#x27;ve generated so far seems oddly famliar.&lt;p&gt;In fact, I got one that is identical to an actual card.&lt;p&gt;Generated by GPT-2 [2]:&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;  Tephraderm {1}{R} (common)
  Sorcery
  Each player sacrifices a land.
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
Actual M:tG card (copied by hand by me and keeping the same notation):&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;  Tremble {1}{R} (Odyssey common)
  Sorcery
  Each player sacrifices a land.
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
Also, the names of cards don&amp;#x27;t seem to be generated by the RNN. &amp;quot;Tephraderm&amp;quot;, above, is an actual Magic card (a red rare creature from Onslaught). I certainly did see a &amp;quot;Bontu, Primal Calamity&amp;quot; (which I didn&amp;#x27;t save) whose name was basically a mashup of the names of &amp;quot;Bontu the Glorified&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Zacama, Primal Calamity&amp;quot;.&lt;p&gt;_______________&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.mtgsalvation.com&amp;#x2F;forums&amp;#x2F;magic-fundamentals&amp;#x2F;custom-card-creation&amp;#x2F;612057-generating-magic-cards-using-deep-recurrent-neural&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.mtgsalvation.com&amp;#x2F;forums&amp;#x2F;magic-fundamentals&amp;#x2F;custo...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[2] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;i.imgur.com&amp;#x2F;PdHkBXr.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;i.imgur.com&amp;#x2F;PdHkBXr.png&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cards discussed above:&lt;p&gt;Tremble: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;shop.tcgplayer.com&amp;#x2F;magic&amp;#x2F;odyssey&amp;#x2F;tremble&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;shop.tcgplayer.com&amp;#x2F;magic&amp;#x2F;odyssey&amp;#x2F;tremble&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tephraderm: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;shop.tcgplayer.com&amp;#x2F;magic&amp;#x2F;onslaught&amp;#x2F;tephraderm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;shop.tcgplayer.com&amp;#x2F;magic&amp;#x2F;onslaught&amp;#x2F;tephraderm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Zacama, Primal Calamity: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;shop.tcgplayer.com&amp;#x2F;magic&amp;#x2F;rivals-of-ixalan&amp;#x2F;zacama-primal-calamity&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;shop.tcgplayer.com&amp;#x2F;magic&amp;#x2F;rivals-of-ixalan&amp;#x2F;zacama-pri...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bontu the Glorified: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;shop.tcgplayer.com&amp;#x2F;magic&amp;#x2F;amonkhet&amp;#x2F;bontu-the-glorified&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;shop.tcgplayer.com&amp;#x2F;magic&amp;#x2F;amonkhet&amp;#x2F;bontu-the-glorifie...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sorry, can&amp;#x27;t link to the Gatherer for any of the cards above- it&amp;#x27;s down for me.</text></comment>
