When I was a kid, I'd put my clothes in the dryer and it'd run for 50 minutes and all the clothes would be dry. Today, we have an "smart" dryer with AI-recommended cycle times and it'll run for between 45-60 minutes and it won't be dry. What was wrong with the old way???

An AI powered deck box that will give you deck recommendations and automatically make cuts and replacements based on EDHRec! (Don't give WotC any ideas)
