So one of my friends was talking about a website he used to rate his deck that didn't form a rating based on its users' opinions, it was part of the deck analyzer itself.
I have just spent the better part of a couple of hours looking for this deck rating site, and have been unable to find a site that uses a program to rate decks. Does anyone know of a site like this?

It can have community ratings too, but I don't really need to know of any sites that ONLY have community ratings.

I strongly doubt an algorithm that accurately assesses a deck's quality could realistically exist.

Sure it can. It's called "total price."

Yeah, there's no way to empirically rate a deck's power level based on any sort of useful formula. Heck, it's not even possible to empirically evaluate a card's power level, though some have tried.

If such a website does exist, it's likely not terribly useful.

You could probably make out something decent for a normal casual deck, based on number of lands and mana curve. However, it would have to make a lot of assumptions on the deck.

That's more along the lines of simple statistical analysis though rather than a 'goodness' rating. The main difference is that a statistical analysis is actually useful, but requires you to know how to interpret it. Numbers such as how frequently you'll get X lands within Y turns and how often you'll draw a one mana creature in your opening hand can be very useful numbers to know, even if they don't mean the same thing to every deck.

If such a site/program did exist I wonder who/what would rate the cards, cause if they/it based it off something like gatherer then any deck with x4 Storm Crow and x4 Chimney Imp would have a pretty solid point base to start with.

Well when my friend was describing the site he said the site was made by "a guy who has won more magic tournaments than anybody", his words, not mine. So if there is even some truth to that, the ratings should at least be somewhat accurate.

Such a site does indeed exist, I just don't know what it is. I want to try it out just to see what sort of input it has to offer.

Winning magic tournaments wouldnt really have any bearing on being able to create a computer algorithm intelligent enough to accurately evaluate magic decks without human input.

I think your friend is either mistaken and misunderstood whatever site he was using, or he is screwing with you.
