## Interface evidence

1. **Mana Gate deck workspace showing the Modern Budget Burn card list, playstyle analysis, and mana curve.**
   Deck choices lose context across separate tools. This workspace combines card lists, playstyle, curve, and cost for faster decisions.

2. **Mana Gate collection library with folders, card scanning, filters, AI analysis, and an organized card grid.**
   Large collections are difficult to organize and value. Folders, scanning, filters, and analysis turn the library into a workable system.
