Khaospawn's method works. All the fetches / mythics are in the top half.

Awesome. Our sample size for that test has gone from "completely insignificant" to "still very insignificant."

Yes, and out of millions and millions of boxes, your six to ten show that all the fetches and mythics are in the top half of every box.

Correlation does not equal causation, and it may not be statistically significant, but we have one person testing a method and another person imitating said method and duplicating the results.

Sounds like theres something there to me.
You gotta understand, I love the beatdown. I really do. I always have.

Well, we know box mapping is a thing, which means that boxes will repeat themselves. Yes, we can be sure that one of the varieties of boxes this set has all its fetches in the top half.

But if it were so simple that "all the fetches are in the top" then we wouldn't be the only ones who know this dirty little secret.

Had a fun conversation with an insurance claim investigator today. One of our pieces of equipment arrived damaged, so he had to check it out before anyone paid for it. He was a bubbly British guy. Thick accent, joked about a lot of things, particularly whatever bloody fool dropped it. Somewhere in there, this exchange happened:

British dude: "I'd say that scratch is 150 mills long, you?"
Me: "Are you blind? That's got to be six inches."

He went still and blank and just stared at me. I couldn't help myself and started to snicker. He laughed, too, and we had a great conversation about how terrible imperial units and three eighths and seven thirty seconds are.

I don't agree with the judge ruling on that one. That was awfully fast. Unless there was verbal confirmation to move to the draw step, the Delver player is entitled to back him up to the upkeep. It is also why I always tell my opponent to take their damage as soon as I pass the turn.

Well, if I played Vortex, I would be damn sure to know (semis, pressure, I get it). Joe did draw, and play top 3x faster than he had throughout the whole match. He intentionally played fast to get his opponent to miss the trigger. At least thats how it looks from my perspective, I was not there in person to know if joe went "untap, upkeep, draw"
