About takescake

Built for Commander players who want smarter search, transparent pricing, and camera-grade scanning.

We blend Gemma embeddings with tcgcsv pricing, NLWeb agent standards, and a frictionless scanner so you can brew decks, sanity-check trades, and teach others without bouncing between apps.

What we ship

  • Semantic card search: Commander-ready embeddings understand archetypes, synergies, and table politics.
  • Full-screen scanner: Automatic border detection, manual corner controls, and auto-capture tuned for sleeves and playmats.
  • Deck Studio + collection tools: Balance curve, ramp, and interaction while tracking finishes, languages, and tags.
  • Affiliate-safe pricing: Nightly tcgcsv snapshots wrapped with sponsored + noopener + nofollow attributes by default.

How we prioritize

We do not ship generic SEO filler. Every release is measured against crawlability, player outcomes, and NLWeb agent compatibility. That means structured data for posts and products, clean canonical tags, and lightweight layouts that hit Core Web Vitals.

We also maintain a living blog where feature docs live, and a ai.txt so agents can discover our APIs without guesswork.
