Start from scratch or import an existing deck — either way, you tell Farseek your game plan and it holds that context for every message. Ask why something isn't working, what your win condition is missing, or where your curve breaks. Get an argument back, not a list of popular cards.
Type what you want and get real Scryfall results. No query syntax, no keyword guessing. Or skip the typing and use the filters: colour, type, rarity, set and rules text, stacked together, over every card or every legal commander. Add straight to your deck from the results.
Farseek profiles every card in your 99 and benchmarks your ramp, draw, interaction, and recursion against proven Commander targets. It also keeps a live bracket on the deck, scored against the official Commander bracket criteria: Game Changers, two-card infinite combos, mass land denial and extra turns. You know which pod the deck belongs in before you sit down in one.
Farseek replaces them. You get full deck storage and management, natural language card search, and an AI that reads your actual 99 and reasons about it. You build the deck and think it through in the same place: one tab instead of three.
EDHREC shows you what cards are popular in decks similar to yours. That's useful data, but it doesn't know your deck or your game plan. Farseek reads your specific 99, understands your strategy, and tells you why a card fits or doesn't fit your build. Popularity data vs. actual reasoning.
ChatGPT works from training memory. It does not know your specific decklist, cannot look up current card text, and will invent mana costs and abilities. Farseek loads your actual 99, searches Scryfall before every recommendation, and reasons about what your specific list needs. It is also a deckbuilder rather than a chat window: every card it suggests arrives as a real card with its art and rules text, and one click adds it to the deck or cuts it. The list updates beside the conversation, so nothing is copied between tabs.
Why ChatGPT fails at Commander deckbuildingYes. Paste your Moxfield or Archidekt deck URL and Farseek imports it in seconds. You can also paste a plain text decklist in any standard format. Your full 99 loads into the AI context immediately.
Both. Import from Moxfield or Archidekt, paste a plain decklist, or start with a blank deck and build through chat. Either way, Farseek holds your deck state and strategy in context throughout.
Farseek's commander finder covers all 3,946 legal commanders and lets you stack filters rather than pick one: colour identity, theme, creature type, rules text, mana value, power, toughness, rarity, price, set, and which cards a commander's decks actually run. That last one works backwards: start from a card you want to build around and find every commander that plays it, or name several and find the commanders that play all of them. Open any commander and you get the cards its decks play, with the format's universal staples filtered out, so what is left is what makes a deck that commander's.
Explore all commandersFarseek's deckbuilding chat runs on Claude Opus 5.5, Anthropic's most capable model. It is not asked to remember cards: every recommendation follows a live Scryfall search, and your full decklist with each card's rules text is in front of the model on every message. That is what stops the invented cards and wrong mana costs you get from a general chatbot.
Yes, two ways. Describe the card in plain English, like "cheap interaction that works at instant speed" or "red dragons that create treasure tokens", and Farseek writes the Scryfall query for you and returns real cards. Or never type a query at all and use the filters: colour, type, rarity, set and rules text, stacked together, over every card or every legal commander. Either way the results add straight into the deck you are building, and card search is free and unmetered.
Yes. Set a budget when you start a deck and Farseek holds it as a standing constraint rather than a one-off instruction: card prices are in front of the model on every message, and it will not suggest cards that break the cap. The cap is saved with the deck alongside rules like a bracket ceiling or no infinite combos, and you can change it at any point.
Farseek has a free Commander bracket calculator. Paste a decklist and it places the deck in one of the five official brackets, scored against the criteria the bracket system actually uses: Game Changers, two-card infinite combos, mass land denial and extra turns. It names the cards that pushed the deck up, and the same bracket sits live on every deck you build. It works without an account.
Open the bracket calculatorYes. Import your collection as a CSV and Farseek reads Moxfield, Archidekt and ManaBox exports directly, with a generic parser for anything else. It then searches your collection alongside Scryfall: ask it to build from what you own and the recommendations come from your own cards, with the number of copies you have shown on each.
Yes, and no card is needed to start. Deck storage, card search, the commander finder, the precon catalogue and the bracket calculator are all free and unmetered. The AI chat runs on a free weekly allowance, and for heavier use there are paid plans from $6.99 a month, or one-off mana potions from $1.99.
