With MSI on I kept arguing with friends over whether a comp had "won draft," so I built a small site that estimates blue-side win probability from real pro data (Oracle's Elixir — thousands of games, patch-weighted, current patches only).

How it works:

• Pick 5 champs a side → win %, plus a breakdown of champion strength, synergy, and lane matchups.
• Optionally pick the two teams → it adds team Elo and the actual starting players' Elo + their history on the champ they're on. Rosters auto-fill from each team's last game, and you can edit a seat to sub someone in. Keyboard-friendly (type a champ, hit Tab/comma to lock it and jump to the next).

The honest part, because this sub will (rightly) ask:

• Draft alone is a weak predictor. Champions-only sits around 55% accuracy - barely above just picking the favorite - because who's playing the comp matters far more than the comp. Add the teams and it climbs to ~66%.
• It's worst at international events like MSI, where cross-region team strength is hard to calibrate (the tool flags cross-region matchups so you don't over-trust them).
• Everything's validated with walk-forward backtests (no peeking at future games), and the methodology page shows accuracy broken down by league and patch - plus a list of things I tried that didn't work.

It's a draft-analysis / what-if toy, not a betting edge - pro games are genuinely hard to predict and I'd rather be honest about that.

(Optional, caveated solo-queue line - I'd cut it, but if you want it:) A few people asked about solo queue - the draft-only champion/synergy read can loosely sanity-check your own draft, but it's trained on pro games, so treat it as a rough guide at best.

DexCompare is a price database for Pokémon cards. Search any card and it shows what it's selling for across stores in AU, NZ, US and UK, so you can find the cheapest place to buy. Sealed product's in there too, and it's completely free with no signup.

I built it to be the fastest way to check a card's real price without opening ten tabs, and it does that well. I'm still adding stores and features, so if there's something you'd want in it, I'd like to hear it. dexcompare.app

I got sick of opening six tabs every time I wanted to know if a card was a good price, so I built a thing that pulls prices for the same card across stores and regions into one view. A few findings that surprised me while building it:

• The same card can swing [X]% between AU and US listings once you factor shipping — sometimes importing genuinely wins, sometimes it's a trap.
• The "market price" you see on one big site is often well off what the card actually sells for elsewhere that week.
• [drop in one real, specific example — e.g. "a sealed [set] booster box is $X cheaper from [region] right now even after postage"]

It covers 20,000+ cards across every set, sealed product too, and shows the spread across stores and the AU/NZ/US/UK markets side by side so you can see where it's actually cheapest before you buy.

It's at dexcompare.app if it's useful to you. Genuinely keen for feedback from people who buy more than I do — which stores am I missing, which regions, what would make it actually replace your tab-juggling?

A few months back I showed my mates a dumb little game I'd hacked together — guess the Pokémon card from its blurred art, Wordle-style, sharpening with every guess. Their feedback was split between "one more, do another one" and "you should be able to smash the cards." So naturally I lost several months of evenings, and now there are five of these things. All free, no signup, they run in your phone browser:

Dexdle is the blurry one. 8 guesses, and each guess tells you if you're close on the set (newer/older arrows), type, rarity, HP and what the card's actually worth. The moment a Base Set common you haven't thought about since primary school resolves out of the blur is genuinely emotional. New card each midnight AEST, unlimited mode when that's not enough.

Price Duel is higher-or-lower with real market prices, and it is a humbling machine. Twenty years around these cards and my best streak is single digits. My mates are worse, which is the important thing.

https://preview.redd.it/omt1iijhyt6h1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=7a787aa7eff1ffc2c048166e506dcb8e8e933730

Pack Rip Simulator lets you rip a 10-card pack from any modern set and watch the value tick up as you flip, then tells you whether your pack beat the price of a real one. (Labelled clearly in-game: simplified odds for fun, not real pull rates. Your wallet is safe.)

https://preview.redd.it/fdpsk9fiyt6h1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=1dd7a48879e2364e38f52b1ea5273328fdab6024

And for the people who wanted violence: Card Catcher has you catching falling cards in a binder while dodging fakes, and Bulk Breaker is Breakout where the bricks are real cards and the holos take two hits. Your score is the dollar value you caught or smashed. Smashing a chase card you could never afford is the healing part.

https://preview.redd.it/xx07qpbjyt6h1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=0a5eb11db704e9b4e4bc99552a74e26d28c79b9c

Weird side effect: because everything runs on live market values, after a week my mates just knew what cards were worth. Years of me talking at them achieved nothing; a higher-or-lower game did it in days.

They're all at dexcompare.app/games (Dexdle's at /dexdle). Tell me what's too easy, what's broken, and what I should build next — and yes, Dexdle's share button makes the smug emoji grid. 🟩🟨⬛

(Transparency: it's my site — a card price-comparison side project. The games are free and stay free; this is just me making the database fun.)

Hey all — I run DexCompare, a Pokémon card price-comparison site, as a side project, and I kept thinking the card database would make a fun game. It became five. All free, no signup, work on mobile:

dexcompare.app/games

⚡ Dexdle — daily Wordle-but-the-answer-is-a-card. 8 guesses, each giving feedback on set (newer/older arrows), energy type, rarity, HP and market value while the blurred art sharpens. New card at midnight AEST, plus Unlimited mode for one-more-game brain.

https://preview.redd.it/tj5l00qrit6h1.png?width=1427&format=png&auto=webp&s=08d6a3c8e138e3fa0ef2c177596fcad95d4853a5

⚖️ Price Duel — higher or lower with real market prices. This game has humbled everyone I've shown it to, including me, and I literally run the price site.

https://preview.redd.it/julkr9wwit6h1.png?width=1395&format=png&auto=webp&s=bf4c9addabb4c2786f0b36ca18691f5039bbc1a5

🎴 Pack Rip Simulator — rip a simulated 10-card pack from any modern set and watch the value tick up as you flip, then see if your pack "beat" the price of a real one. (Clearly labelled: simplified odds for fun, not official pull rates.)

https://preview.redd.it/d9u7xzhzit6h1.png?width=1402&format=png&auto=webp&s=1e314360f8cac6daa4d6b64078aca094bdcf8ce9

📂 Card Catcher & 🧱 Bulk Breaker — Flash-era arcade throwbacks. Catch falling cards in a binder while dodging fakes, or play Breakout where the bricks are real cards and holo chase cards take two hits. Your score is the dollar value you caught/smashed.

https://preview.redd.it/p2mseo33jt6h1.png?width=1426&format=png&auto=webp&s=1e2fab354a5e62e50fffe894747aa10d97da8822

The bit I'm weirdly proud of: everything runs on live market prices, so you accidentally absorb what cards are actually worth while playing. And because it's all one database, any card that catches your eye mid-game links straight to its live price page across AU/NZ/US/UK stores — that's the comparison site doing its day job, and (full transparency) the ads and affiliate links over there are what keep the games free.

Too easy? Too hard? What should I build next?

Hey everyone — I run a small Pokémon card price-comparison site as a side project, and I kept thinking the card database would make a fun game. It spiralled. There are now five free minigames, no signup, no paywall:

⚡ Dexdle — Wordle, but the answer is a Pokémon card. You get 8 guesses, and every guess gives you hints on the set (with newer/older arrows), energy type, rarity, HP and — because I'm a price nerd — its market value. The card's art starts heavily blurred and sharpens with every guess. New card every midnight AEST, plus an unlimited mode when you inevitably want one more.

https://preview.redd.it/hth99qq2hn6h1.png?width=752&format=png&auto=webp&s=cf81d67fa5b33e935706cabbebffef8a1e271f0d

⚖️ Price Duel — higher or lower, with real market prices. You see one card's value, then guess if the next card is worth more or less. Sounds easy. My best streak is embarrassing and I literally run the price site.

https://preview.redd.it/apba0ayzgn6h1.png?width=946&format=png&auto=webp&s=c83be5cd849daf0b250bd99fb28c8ba530ca4474

🎴 Pack Rip Simulator — rip a simulated 10-card pack from any modern set and watch the value tick up as you flip. See whether your pack "beat" the price of a real one (clearly labelled: simplified odds for fun, not official pull rates).

https://preview.redd.it/8j0fz465hn6h1.png?width=1134&format=png&auto=webp&s=b72a28bcb9350267fa651e0221b83a50da55651f

📂 Card Catcher / 🧱 Bulk Breaker — two old-school Flash-style arcade games. One is catching falling cards in a binder (dodge the fakes, chain combos), the other is Breakout where the bricks are real cards and holo chase cards take two hits. Your score is the dollar value you caught/smashed.

https://preview.redd.it/bidljg58hn6h1.png?width=682&format=png&auto=webp&s=ba7eddaa3b49afc0db322d3fff991beff7832e8c

The thing I'm weirdly proud of: every card in every game uses live market values, so you accidentally absorb what cards are actually worth while playing. Price Duel especially has taught my mates more about the market than I ever managed by talking at them.

All five are here: dexcompare.app/games (Dexdle is at /dexdle)

Would genuinely love feedback — too easy? too hard? what game should I build next? And if you get a Dexdle streak going, the share button makes one of those smug emoji grids. 🟩🟨⬛

Hey all — I've been a bit obsessed with the game lately and wanted a fun daily thing to test how well I actually know the cards, so I built Riftle: a once-a-day guessing game where you try to figure out the mystery Riftbound card from clues.

Each guess reveals how close you are across things like domain, type, cost, and stats — so it rewards actually knowing the card pool. New card every day, everyone gets the same one, so you can compare scores with friends. Free, no signup.

Full transparency: it's my own site (riftcompare.com/riftle), so mods please pull this if it's not allowed and I'll move it wherever's appropriate. Link if you want to give today's a go: https://riftcompare.com/riftle

Would love feedback — if a clue feels off or there's a stat you'd want compared, tell me and I'll tweak it. Curious what people's streaks get to.

Hi All,

Hey all — with Chaos Rising restocks being a mess to track, I got tired of having ~15 store tabs open comparing prices, so I built a small site that does it for me and figured the sub might get use out of it too.

It pulls current listings for packs, boxes, and cases and shows you the cheapest option across stores in one place. It's free, no signup, and I'm not selling anything or taking affiliate cuts — just a side project I made because I wanted it myself.

Full transparency: it's my own site, so mods please remove if this isn't allowed and I'll happily move it to wherever's appropriate. Link's here if it's useful: https://dexcompare.app/restock/chaos-rising

Genuinely keen for feedback too — if there's a store I'm missing or a feature you'd want, let me know and I'll add it.

Hope it helps!

Hi All,

Thought of sharing a trade calculator I made that has visual representation of all the cards. I might be useful for those going to in person events and who are unsure how to price their cards.

Hopefully it helps the community!

Open to all feedback :)

Hi All,

Just wanted to share this app I made for US/UK/AU people that allows you to compare 20,000+ pokemon card prices through over 30+ different stores.

Hoping this helps make cards more affordable and for people to get the deal they want.

Let me know what you think of it!

(I also made one for riftbound - riftcompare.com)

Hi All,

Let me know what you think and if I should improve any features.

Thanks!!

Hey everyone,

With Riftbound's secondary market being a bit scattered across a dozen different local game stores and major platforms right now, I got tired of constantly opening multiple tabs just to figure out if I was getting ripped off on singles.

To solve my own headache, I built a clean little price aggregator called RiftCompare.

https://riftcompare.com

Here is a quick look at how the card overlay functions using a Teemo example:

https://preview.redd.it/liw1uyjfyr5h1.png?width=1132&format=png&auto=webp&s=851c6b1950233b6831f97be240a20f010b4af9be

Right now, it pulls live data from platforms like eBay and TCGplayer alongside smaller shops to show you who actually has stock and who has the lowest price. It also attempts to separate foil vs. non-foil variants where possible.

It's still pretty early days, and I really want to make sure it's actually useful for the community rather than just a passion project. I'd love to get some honest feedback from you guys:

• What features are missing? (e.g., Are you looking for automatic shipping calculations, localized currency conversions, or historical price charts?)
• LGS Coverage: Are there any specific regional card shops heavily supporting Riftbound that I absolutely need to scrape and add to the list?
• UI/UX: Is the card breakdown easy to scan, or is there data cluttering the screen that you don't care about?

Appreciate any thoughts or critique you guys can throw my way!

Hi All,

Wanted to make this post as I made this website as a side project. It basically helps compare prices of riftbound cards that are in stock across many stores with lots of other features like deck lists.

https://riftcompare.com

I'm an Aussie so I wanted to limit it to Australian users for now and might think on expanding it later but want to get some constructive feedback from the community if possible.

Hopefully it'll also be useful to you (if you're Australian)

Thanks!! :)
