How does MTG semantic search work?

Our semantic search uses Gemma AI embeddings to understand the meaning of your query, not just keywords. This means you can search for card effects, strategies, and synergies in natural language.

What can I search for on takescake?

You can search for cards by name, effect, strategy (like "pillow fort"), card type, mana cost, or even describe what you need (like "cheap card draw for mono-red"). The AI understands context and returns relevant results.
