Guess the Card

A card's art, a poll, thirty seconds. Everyone in the group taps an answer, the bot reveals the card, names the winners and keeps the group's table. Magic only for now.

How a round works

  1. 1

    The bot posts the art crop of a card and a poll with three options.

  2. 2

    Tap your answer in the poll. Everyone votes for themselves, changing your vote counts the last one.

  3. 3

    When the time is up the bot reveals the card with artist and set and names who got it right.

  4. 4

    After the last round: the scores of this game. The all-time table of the group grows with every game.

One game per group at a time, a minute between games. The bot explains the game once a day per group, after that it goes straight to round one.

Start, stop, scores

[[guess]]

One round. The bot posts the art of a Magic card and a poll with three names. Tap one.

[[guess 5]]

Several rounds in a row, up to 10. Scores for the game at the end.

[[guess hard]]

Hard mode. Combine freely: [[guess hard 5]].

[[guess stop]]

Ends the running game at once, no reveal. Anyone in the group can start or stop.

[[guess score]]

The group's all-time table: correct answers and rounds per player.

Easy and hard mode

Easy mode asks for the card name only. Hard mode mixes six question types; the reveal names the rule for the rules questions, so [[r:702.9]] is one step away.

  • Which card is this? (also in easy mode)
  • Who painted this art?
  • Which set is this print from? (full card shown)
  • How many printings does the card have? (ranges, not exact numbers)
  • Mana value of the card? (art only, the cost stays hidden)
  • Which keyword does the card have?

Round length

[[guess 5 90s]]

90 seconds per round. Default is 30 seconds.

[[guess 3 2m]]

Minutes work too: 2m, 10m, up to 60m. For groups where nobody watches notifications.

[[guess hard 5 10m]]

Mode, rounds and time in any order.

Formats and Scryfall queries

By default the bot picks Commander staples. Limit the pool to a format, or write your own Scryfall query.

[[guess pauper]]

Only cards legal in Pauper. Poll options come from the same format, so the wrong answers stay plausible.

[[guess premodern 5 hard]]

Any format: standard, pioneer, modern, legacy, vintage, pauper, premodern, oldschool, commander (edh), paupercommander (pdh), brawl, historic, timeless, alchemy, penny, oathbreaker.

[[guess q: c:red cmc<=2]]

Everything after q: is a Scryfall query and replaces the format. Max 80 characters.

[[guess hard 5 q: set:mh3]]

Combinable with mode, rounds and time. Too narrow a query gets "Not enough cards"; widen it.

Bring it to your group

Add the bot, pick Magic in the setup menu, type [[guess]].
