Thanks, I was sure I'd seen cards granting defender. I should have done a more thorough search.

>> The twitter account has a few more usable ones, but those are all simpler. tl;dr: the simpler the card that it makes is, the more likely it is to be useful.

I thought that might be the case. My guess is that again it comes down to there only being few examples for the "Description Generator".

Since I dipped a toe (or more) in this kind of thing in my undergrad days, I can say that one gets much better results, in generating ability text for cards, with a hand-crafted grammar. Every project I've seen that generates text with some statistical learning algorithm, usually HMMs or neural nets etc ends up being "fun" in the sense that it generates funny cards that don't make a lot of sense and crack people up with their incogruity, which is great of course. But there's just not enough data in the M:tG cards corpus to train a decent model. Especially since many cards are basically copies of each other with different names and there are many creatures that have no abiltiy text other than a keyword ability (trample, flying, flanking, etc).
