What is MTG Wiki & Rules Assistant?
The MTG Wiki Assistant is a professional-grade encyclopedia for Magic: The Gathering players, judges, and content creators. It functions as a specialized knowledge base within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, covering rules, cards, formats, strategies, and lore. By utilizing a local database of over 37,230 cards and complete bilingual rulebooks (CR, MTR, IPG), this skill provides high-fidelity answers to even the most obscure mechanical questions. It is designed to be the ultimate companion for anyone needing precise technical data about the game.
This skill bridges the gap between casual play and competitive judging by providing instant citations from official rulebooks. Whether you are translating deck guides or settling a dispute over the Layers system, this addition to your Openclaw Skills library ensures you have the technical truth at your fingertips.
MTG Wiki & Rules Assistant Use Cases
- Resolving complex interactions involving the Layers system (CR 613) or APNAP order (CR 101.4).
- Searching for card data using English names, Chinese names, or fuzzy nicknames.
- Checking format legality for Standard, Pioneer, Modern, Legacy, and Commander.
- Assisting tournament judges with Infraction Procedure Guide (IPG) and Magic Tournament Rules (MTR) lookups.
- Translating strategy articles with standardized MTG terminology and official Chinese card names.
How MTG Wiki & Rules Assistant Works
- The user triggers the skill by asking about an MTG card, rule, or using the /mtg-wiki command.
- The assistant first scans the local wiki concepts to understand the general game mechanics involved.
- For precise rule citations, it executes rule_search.py to query the local index of official rulebooks.
- If card data is requested, it uses card_search.py to look up the 37k+ Oracle database or external APIs (mtgch and Scryfall).
- It synthesizes the information into a structured response, providing bilingual card names and exact rule numbers for verification.
- For complex interactions, it applies a step-by-step analysis framework to explain the stack and continuous effects.
MTG Wiki & Rules Assistant Setup
This skill requires Python 3 and comes with a pre-packaged database. No external environment variables are required for basic functionality.
# Example: Search for a card name
python3 ./raw/tools/mtg_wiki/card_search.py "Lightning Bolt"
# Example: Search for a specific rule number
