MTG Duel of the Planeswalkers 2013

[Jonathan Meer]

I redid the calculations to edit an input that I was estimating earlier. The updated calculations only swung more heavily into my favor (regarding, specifically, the decks in Planeswalkers 2013, which are what upset you so thoroughly in the first place). I know exactly why I did this, and nowhere claimed otherwise. Why you continue to harp so heavily on these updated calculations, I've no idea. They only serve to undercut your argument that much more than the previous calculations.

I didn't use number theory (which refers, instead, to the study of the properties of integers and integer composites), but rather, statistics.

I'm not downplaying anything. I think your argument (that the game must be overhauled to be fair-and-balanced) is absurd, and have not found any of your criticisms compelling or substantial thus far. I've maintained that consistently over the course of this thread. My use of statistics has been to make a positive argument for another solution (that multiple games are played in a set to establish fair-and-balanced tournaments). Insofar as this other solution is far simpler, has been employed in many competitive sports to great effect, and doesn't require a fundamental rewrite of the game rules, such that the game would be radically changed, I think my solution is far superior.
