Teaching an AI to Draft Magic: The Gathering

Using data from drafts carried out by humans, I trained a neural network to predict what card the humans would take out of each pack. Qualitative Evaluation
I went through some of the drafts in the test set and had the model say at each stage what card it would have picked, given the cards already picked, alongside the cards the human picked. For each card in the pack, the model would dream through thousands of ways the draft might go on from that point, and evaluate the resulting decks.
