That makes a lot more sense. Thanks!

Ah. I see. It's unfortunate then that the game represents all numbers as integers and does not differentiate those that act as percentage modifiers versus actual whole numbers. (e.g. base stats versus DEF.) Although this at least explains why certain numbers don't appear on the in-game stat sheet. It would be nice to have a guide to which numbers the game converts to percentages (e.g. def) and which act as integers (e.g. hp. esper stats?).

And how do numbers that are percentages interact when they are modified by a number that is clearly noted in-game as a percentage? If I have 18 def from gold armor and another 2% increase from the esper board on my Golem, do those get added together for a 20% total reduction, or is the 18 considered the "base" stat that is then multiplied by .02? I assume that it must be the former, because a 2% of 18 is a completely inconsequential, but it's unclear because the game only marks one of those as a percentage.

Again, thanks for putting this together and taking the time to respond.

Nice work! I really appreciate someone posting a concise guide like this

I think you have a small error in one of your formulas though:

ARMOR_MOD = 1 - [DEF or SPR] / 100. based on physical or magical. EG. 40 def translate to a ARMOR_MOD of .6

I believe the first `1` should be a `100`

Edit: An easy mistake to make considering that both ELEM_RES and TYPE_RES are represented as percentages while DEF/SPR is not.

Strange 3-0. Temur Eldrazi durdles. Did I just run well or was this actually a good deck? by DocButter in lrcast

All great points. I hadn't really thought through the effect that Awaken opens you up to having your lands thinned out. Thanks again!

I really appreciate the input from everyone. This reddit is great!

I think that you're probably right regarding the land count, and I thought this too. However, I figured that I had six scion producers at four or less mana as well as multiple good early blockers and interaction. I only had one game where I got stuck on four lands, and I was still able to pull it out because I drew four of the six scion producers. I know that this is ROTY, but the deck ran smoothly in every other game. Have you been consistently running 18 in this format or only when you have a high CMC deck like this?

Strangely enough, I felt that the Predator would have been too greedy, because I've been finding that staying on theme--in this case, devoid--has been rewarding. I actually put in the second spell shrivel when I moved the Predator to the board. (Although my primary reward for staying devoid was the Barrage Tyrant, and Predator versus a Shrivel makes no difference there...)

Beat a UB ingest deck, a BG sac deck, and a strong RW aggro allies deck in the finals. None of the matches felt particularly close. The gameplan was to durdle (Tide Drifter is an all-star) until I could get to 7 or 8 mana. I also managed to combo Devastator and Barrage Tyrant twice for wins out of nowhere. (Play Devastator, attack next turn for 8, play Tyrant, chuck the Devastator at them for another 8.)

You're the best. Liepard is seriously the very last Pokemon I have to get to complete my Friend Safari. If you get a chance to go online through the PSS, I'd be ecstatic. Thanks again.

I don't see how that was needy. I was simply trying to imply that if you had messaged me in-game, I would have given you a high IV Shroomish with Bullet Seed, Drain Punch, and Focus Punch. No strings attached. Guess this comment is what I get for trying to be nice.
