http://www.starcitygames.com/php/news/expandnews.php?Article=6974Last week's "all numbers, all the time" article elicited two requests for data, which was perfect, because this was my week of crazy midterms, so I needed material. The first request, from Rudy van Soest a.k.a. "MoreFling" (the man whose alias is responsible for more people not finding morphling.de than any other), was that I take my assorted collection of data and find some trends. The second was from JP Meyer a.k.a. "Homsar," who said, "My loins are quivering in anticipation. I love the set breakdowns, but you know what I love more? When you list what cards appear the most per set."
I aim to please, so I did both.

Men do their own laundry. REAL men do Magi's laundy as well. Doctor: fanstatic article once again. I love the fact that you extrapolated a list from the data this time round (I know I can do my own thinking like I said last time, but it never hurts to have someone do it for you  ). I'm definitely gonna try out 'Consensus Keeper' for a bit, just for the heck ot it. It might actually be good because it doesn't suffer as much from the 'I have 2 Hulk decklists and only one of them plays AK so I've combined a consensus Hulk list with 2 copies'-syndrome. Nice n, too. Must've been a lot of work. The comments were hilarious at times, too. Keep up the statistics! |

What?? You do your own laundy?? You don't? Even I've finally started, though I managed to put it off until age seventeen. Nice n, too. Must've been a lot of work. Ironically at the start of midterm week I thought I was going to be doing something really simple. Then when I was done with my tests on Thursday, I did this for fun for the rest of the day as a reward for myself. I think that really sums up my life in so many ways that I'm glad my mother doesn't read TMD. ("I told u i wuz hardk0re!!") I was hoping that Consensus Keeper would have 26 mana when I was finally compiling it, but I would speculate that mana options are simply more likely to be chosen than a given spell, because there are only a small number of viable choices, so more of the most-used cards will be mana. If there had been one more maindeck slot, for instance, it would've been the fifth blue fetchland. But if I had averaged the number of slots that should be mana (which might've made a more solid deck, there was a second Scrying and a second Scepter near the top at the end IIRC), it would've almost certainly been 26. Oh man I can't wait to do this for Hulk. That's gonna take forever, but it'll be less scattered, so more solid, data-wise. |

Well done Dr. Sylvan. How did your midterms work out? :p They felt fine. Not "fine-like-kl0wn's-secret-supply-of-Malaysians", more like "decent". However, if I suddenly stop posting for a while, it's because my parents killed me. ;) |

Oh, and speaking of avatars, I still instantly assume that whenever I see that basic user with my old Hideki avatar that I posted something there and get mad confused. h8.

Or are you planning to get an intarweb connection on hell? <3. Great job you did there, in your article. You make baby rasko cry. , even though I stopped playing it was a nice, informative read. |
