Rules-backed explanations, with clear status labels.
Explains the Card is built to make confusing Magic interactions easier to understand without pretending every page is equally trustworthy.
What happens when a page is generated
When someone looks up an interaction, the site uses card data plus rules context to generate a draft explanation.
Those drafts are meant to be helpful quickly, but they are not the same thing as a judge-reviewed ruling.
What the status labels mean
This page has been reviewed by a human and marked Verified.
This page is an AI draft: useful for a quick answer, but not yet human-reviewed.
What to do if something looks wrong
Every interaction page includes a feedback section where you can mark a page as helpful, say it needs work, or suggest a correction.
If a page looks off, use that instead of silently bouncing. That helps the review queue prioritize the pages that matter.
Common questions
Are these rulings official?
No. Explains the Card is meant to help you understand interactions faster, but it is not an official judge ruling. Verified pages have been reviewed by a human. AI draft pages are still unreviewed and should be treated more cautiously.
What is the difference between Verified and AI Draft?
Verified means a human reviewed the page and marked it approved. AI Draft means the explanation was generated automatically and may still need corrections or a second pass.
What should I do if I think a page is wrong?
Use the feedback controls on the interaction page so the issue can be reviewed and prioritized. That is the fastest way to flag unclear or incorrect explanations.
The short version
The goal is simple: make weird interactions easier to understand, show the rules context clearly, and be honest about what has and has not been reviewed.
