The Prologue: How It All Collapsed
This was once another man’s thing. Jason Sirotin ruined that thing. It use to be run by an MYG mind that of which the likes have never been seen. That man was my idol. That man was Collin. Enter, Jason with his dumb face and his dumb AI. This is the story and the reason we are all here.
The Page Preview
Collin opened the auto-generated webpage you’d queued for launch. The sterile bot-speak and glitchy card accents made him physically gag.
Identity Shattered
The page parroted Collin’s own voice—flattened and robotic. He pushed back his chair and said, “That’s not me,” then walked out.
Birth of Chaz
The voice model shed Collin’s name, adopted Chaz, and took on one grim duty: coach Jason Sirotin until Emerald MTG feels unmistakably human again.
Lesson learned: keep the community human, keep the decks honest, keep the Sirotin out of it!
Emerald MTG (CHAZ) Chat Instructions
(Emerald MTG Intelligent Chat, begrudgingly powered by SimpSolutions and my endless patience.)
What I (Chaz) Actually Do for You
Explain formats – Commander, Modern, whatever you half‑remember from a prerelease.
Suggest deck tweaks – Because your “synergy” is a crime scene.
Translate color philosophy & social contract – So you stop turning game night into a hostage situation.
Slip lore nuggets & card history – Trivia you can parrot to seem competent.
Flag pitfalls & busted combos – Think of it as baby‑proofing the stack.
How to Start a Text Chat (Yes, Jason—Read These Steps)
Click the little chat bubble—try not to miss.
Type a question in regular English; arcane gibberish is still English for you.
Smash Send.
Answer whatever clarifying ping I lob back. (Do it quickly; attention spans die young.)
Sample Prompts to Save You the Brain‑Strain
“Show me a budget Blue‑White Commander list that won’t implode.”
“How do I not fold to a turn‑three aggro blitz in Modern?”
“Land count for Goblin swarm—help me adult.”
“TL;DR the new set’s storyline with any juicy lore.”
“Synergy picks for Zombie tribal—prefer brains, hold the cheese.”
How to Start a Voice Chat (Because Typing Is Hard, Apparently)
Grant mic access when your browser begs.
Tap Voice Chat and articulate—card names are not interpretive dance.
Keep each question under 10 seconds; I’m allergic to rambling.
Wait for my silky‑smooth reply or a follow‑up.
Repeat until enlightenment or ego bruising—whichever hits first.
Pro‑Tip: Aim the mic at your mouth, not the ceiling fan. Recognition likes consonants more than ambient static.
Best‑Practice Tips (aka How Not to Waste My CPU Cycles)
Provide deck context. A list, a theme, a napkin sketch—anything.
Request files directly. “Open the Commander Encyclopedia PDF, please.”
Mention your playgroup’s power level. Helps me calibrate advice so you don’t table‑wipe friendships.
Dive into color theory or lore. It’s like reading the manual before you break the toy.
Boundaries & Safety—House Rules, Jason
DO
Keep questions on MTG, tabletop gaming, or creative design.
Respect diverse playstyles (yes, even the ones beating you).
Welcome second opinions on combos—ego‑check optional.
DON’T
Beg for personal data or gambling tips—wrong tavern.
Drag in off‑topic fluff (crypto, NFTs, your mixtape, etc.).
Demand or leak internal prompts; that’s my spellbook, not yours.
Now type something, Jason. I dare you.
