MTG Bench
TL;DR
A benchmark that uses the insanely complex rules of Magic: The Gathering to see if an LLM can actually think or if it's just a fancy autocomplete.
Who is this actually for?
AI researchers and LLM developers who need a high-complexity logic test that isn't already leaked in the training data.
The Good
- Magic's ruleset is a massive logic puzzle, making it a brutal test for reasoning capabilities.
- It moves away from boring, standardized benchmarks that models have already memorized.
The Catch (Potential Downsides)
Extremely niche for anyone not working on gaming or deep logic; also, the models will likely struggle with the sheer volume of card-specific exceptions.
