You can see the invention of RLHF/ChatGPT here because text generation suddenly became much more coherent and also much less interesting. You have to go back to older tech for surrealism because nobody will let you see the good stuff (the base models).
I guess I was much more interested in being able to work with an LLM to create good, synergistic Commander decks and less interested in generating custom Magic cards.
I'm sure I can dig up info on how to do this and piece it together, but I thought OP might have a guide specifically for it.
FWIW, there was a pretty popular post on HN around generating MTG cards using AI a couple years back but I believe that their approach was a fine-tune on an existing LLM.
