**Three ways to explore:**
1. **Search by description** - type plain English describing the card you're imagining ("low cost red blocker with draw", "leader that punishes wide boards"). The query is encoded with the same Qwen3-Embedding model used on the corpus, then ranked by cosine similarity. Top-k results appear in the table and are highlighted on the map.
2. **Browse / find similar** - pick any card from the dropdown to see its full details and the 10 most mechanically similar cards in embedding space. Useful for finding swap candidates with comparable mechanics.
3. **Synergy inspector** - pick a **Leader** card to see recommendations that are color-legal under it, sorted by mechanical similarity with a bonus for cards in the leader's family/archetype. The cost curve shows the distribution of recommendations across costs - useful when sketching a deck shape.
**Tips**
- Search and browse rank by raw cosine similarity. Synergy adds OPTCG deckbuilding constraints on top: color legality (must share at least one color with the leader) and a +0.10 family bonus for archetype matches.
- Score is cosine similarity in [-1, 1]. Anything above ~0.55 is usually a strong match; below ~0.35 the model is reaching.
- Mix mechanical keywords (Blocker, Rush, Counter, On Play) with constraints (color, cost, power) for tighter search results.
- The UMAP is a 2-D projection of the same 1024-dim space - clusters tend to share color and card type.

ABOUT_MD = f"""
### How it works
Each of the {N_CARDS} cards is encoded as a single vector by **`{MODEL_ID}`** ({EMBEDDING_DIM}-dim, L2-normalized). The encoding strategy follows the proven `minimaxir/mtg-embeddings` recipe: serialize the mechanically-relevant fields as a prettified JSON document, replace the card's own name with `~` to neutralize self-references, then prepend a task instruction string so the model knows what kind of similarity matters (gameplay mechanics, not flavor text).
When you submit a query, the same instruction wrapper is applied and the resulting vector is compared by dot product against the precomputed corpus matrix. UMAP coordinates are precomputed in the dataset and just rendered here.
The task instruction comes from the dataset's `provenance.json` rather than being hardcoded, so the Space stays in sync if the upstream embedding ever changes.
### Dataset
[`t22000t/optcg-en-card-embeddings`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/t22000t/optcg-en-card-embeddings) - {N_CARDS} cards across {N_SETS} sets, latest pack `{LATEST_SET}`. Sister dataset [`t22000t/optcg-en-cards`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/t22000t/optcg-en-cards) carries the structured fields without the embedding column.
### What this Space deliberately does not show
No card images. The Space is text and structured-data only. See the [parent project README](https://github.com/timothy22000/optcg-cards) for the IP rationale.
### Source
Card data comes from the official One Piece Card Game site via the [vegapull](https://github.com/Coko7/vegapull) scraper. Pipeline code is at [github.com/timothy22000/optcg-cards](https://github.com/timothy22000/optcg-cards). This Space is at [github.com/timothy22000/optcg-cards](https://github.com/timothy22000/optcg-cards) (sibling repo `optcg-explorer-space`).
