And re: ages, it's worth noting that the youngest player to make Day 2 of a Grand Prix is 8 years old, and the youngest Pro Tour winner was 15 years old. I don't think it's realistic to get an LLM anywhere close to either of those players in skill level, though it's absolutely possible with a specialized model.
no, no, no.. please think. Human child psychology is not the same as an LLM engine rating. It is both inaccurate and destructive to actual understanding to say that common phrase. Asking politely - consider not saying that about LLM game ratings.
Probably less of a problem for Legacy, but it isn't even told what format it's playing. So I expect it's easy to get the bots to do far better than this by giving them more information.
Let me analyze this opening hand:
*Hand analysis:* - 3 lands (Riverpyre Verge, Steam Vents, Willowrush Verge) - dual lands which is good - Monument to Endurance ({3}) - a 3-drop - Accumulate Wisdom ({1}{U}) - 2-drop, likely a blue advantage engine - Boomerang Basics ({U}) - 1-drop blue spell - Gran-Gran ({U}) - 1-drop blue creature (1/2)
This is actually a reasonable hand. I have: - 3 lands giving me mana access (with color fixing) - A 1-drop (Gran-Gran or Boomerang Basics to choose from) - A 2-drop (Accumulate Wisdom) - A 3-drop (Monument to Endurance)
The curve is solid. I have some interactive blue play with Boomerang Basics and early board presence with Gran-Gran. The mana base supports blue well with all three lands. This is keep-able — while not spectacular, it's a functional opening hand.
