Wizards of the Coast is relatively litigious. I'd expect a Cease and Desist if you get any traction with this.

Wizards of the Coast's in-house card database (Gatherer) is basically not maintained at all. I think they're very happy there is a third party willing to do that for free, and for a game with as much history as Magic, having a searchable card database is basically mandatory.

Having your home page be just a login button is a bit disappointing. There's no screenshots and no information about how it works (or information at all for that matter), which doesn't really convince me to create an account (in my mind, the process of picking a deck and printing it is not one where requiring a login would be obvious, so some more "convincing" might help).

If you want to play around with it, try account hn@example.com with password hackernews! I didn't add any restrictions on email registration because I hear you that actually creating an account can be a chore. Exposing web services to the public internet without auth seems scary, which is why I rarely do it.

For anyone else trying this, the password is hackernews - without an exclamation point. Tripped me up.

Thanks for setting this up adenta!

but also the chat function doesn't do anything unless you supply an email. Seriously without your post text here it's literally impossible to figure out what your site does exactly pre-account creation
