She said if she won she'd earmark 3k to donate to cat shelters. If I had the money I'd sponsor you and your kid's flight out to my next Cat Draft.  I'm thinking it'll be in August. Kids are off school, and the Core Set is out. I like to do them with Core sets because lots of casual players and people who haven't played Magic in years come out for the events.

Downtick ral to copy a spell, cast Finale for 4 Copy of Finale gets Naru Meha, Naru meha copies the original Finale Copy of Finale gets Naru Meha2, Naru Meha 1 gets legend ruled, Naru meha 2 copies the original finale Copy of Finale gets Naru Meha 1 out of the graveyard, Naru Meha 2 gets legend ruled, Naru Meha 1 copies the original finale GOTO 3.

You only need to pull two Nehu from the deck and then it's infinite copies as you legend rule and replay one over and over.

Clearly the best standard deck is gruul aggro, using my big boar son to slam down big fatties. Add rhythm of the wild to make that one dork make 3, put in fatties with etb or on attack effects of choice. Goreclaw in case you need to hardcast stuff.

i really hate drafting Orzhov and my recent 7-win runs have been rakdos or gruul with maybe a blue splash. I think aggro is way underdrafted in RNA, there are no good common creatures that dodge the common removal except for like rendhorn played a game where I got my gruul spellbreaker slimebinded and just pumped it with gruul beastmasters lol

What's been shown is "that determining the outcome of a game of Magic is non-computable", or impossible to predict because of the complexity (though I don't know how they factor in randomness), which is unlikely to be unique to Magic.

They built a turing machine out of a magic gamestate and made winning the game halt the turing machine. So to see who would win a game you'd have to solve the halting problem. It's the same author as the original turing machine paper but this time around it's fully deterministic (doesn't require players to say yes to any may triggers).

little munchkin posted:Also people would spend less because we aren't good at thinking rationally when it comes to randomness. People who would never pay the singles price for chase cards love throwing away money on packs. During original Innistrad I once watched a dude at my LGS crack a whole sealed booster box because he wanted a LotV. The same dude did the same thing during RTR and Theros blocks, though by that time I had convinced him to just do a sealed with a few of us and then he just keeps the cards.

Rinkles posted:Do you know how much the conclusion is based on the particular game state and decks used? From the reddit thread, it seems that it is necessary for a game to have infinite permutations of a board state to be non-computable, so the deck chosen involves a weird combo with staff of domination. actually, here's the decklist the researchers used: quote:4 Ancient Tomb

So, doing some prep with my daughter for GP I have a couple concerns. I have never played at comp rel before, or been to a GP. She has some trouble with manual dexterity tasks: Shuffling and sleeving. Shuffling she can pile shuffle, but sleeving she basically makes every card appear marked left to her own through creasing and divots, and can't seem to get down the simple pinch and slide technique. Can she prevail on a judge to help her?

Rinkles posted:Do you know how much the conclusion is based on the particular game state and decks used? 100%. Because their proof is done once they can construct an universal turing machine, 90% of the text is explaining what cards they use and how to implement the necessary parts of the machine. So they set up the tape head and the transition tables, stack the deck in a way that it advances in a particular way according to which virtual symbol appears etc. The cool part is a player could absolutely bring a legacy deck and create the boardstate themselves. Only one deck is required it turns out, as long as they're not disrupted by the other player.
