Eric, when you going to give me them sweet, sweet edit rights?

In your Mono :g: deck?

I believe there's a package 'biasedUrn' that deals with this: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/BiasedUrn/BiasedUrn.pdf I've never used it, but I think that stuff is out there. Can't wait til you guys start drafting hate cards.

Also, I am moderately surprised that Eric and I ended up on the same number. Are you secretly a statistician, Eric?

Welcome! I think this is a good idea. The biggest downside about Tenchester was that it took forever, and this should speed things up by about 4x (roughly), while adding in some of the signaling that you find in normal drafts. As for your method of making the piles, it seems fine enough...

Uh, this gets into other weird assumptions that I'm not entirely comfortable with. I don't think mulligan rules for such are so clear cut, nor do I think tossing any 7 without a combo piece is advisable. Technically you can do the math telescopically, giving him 10 cards seen with a mulligan...

I got 21.88%. So that seems accurate. Here's my reasoning, let me know if any of this sounds wrong. We have 4 "successes", 36 misses, and are drawing 11 cards without replacement. This puts us in Hypergeometric territory. Our outcome of "drawing at least one of each part" can be...

Because I don't actually have a good idea for how to program that.

I mean, it doesn't have to be an app. It could just be a person sorting through things to keep things going in a tidy manner. Like, my next 3 picks are: Lightning Bolt Tarmogoyf Burning-Tree Emissary Alert me if any of these are trumped.

Okay, I'm not super invested in this, but how important is it that people make their picks sequentially? Could it be sped up by having people submit multiple rounds and then resolving conflicts? Or is that dumb. Also, if you guys could occasionally post visual spoilers of your picks so far in...

Imagine if it was face down piles instead.

Yeah, I didn't know we had a "What's New" page either.

We did Elemental tribal in the Eldrazi Domain thread. Does that help?

I think it's difficult to expect your players to actually maindeck Cabal Therapy without a lot of explicit synergy. I really maxed out on interactions, and still a lot of times you felt kind of dumb casting it. I'm not saying don't run it, but I would consider ways to maximize: - other cards...

Still alive, they've just now hit the 30 second barrier. But we're getting somewhere around 15k clicks a day, with millions of Reddit accounts (reportedly there were something like 3.2 million accounts active last month, but this is bound to get people using old alts). It doesn't appear that...

Anybody following the goddamn Reddit button?

I considered it, but I wanted to leave design space open for future sets joke writers.

I guess the math is that, suppose you have drawn an excessive number of some type (bears or lands), the smaller your deck, the more likely it is that future draws contain what you are missing. At an extreme, if you have drawn 16 lands, your future draws are guaranteed to be bears. With a larger...
