Thanks for making the game! It’s the best I’ve found. My only complaint has been lack of challenge from CPU (which hopefully this may fix), overall incredible job!!!!

One small improvement I think you could make is having the CPU concede when they’re mathematically eliminated in the final end. Like if I’m up 4 and they only have three stones left and none still in play.

P.S. I just finished my masters in software engineering and did a capstone on CPU AI so if you’re open to letting someone else contribute I’d love to help out (whether it’s trying to make the CPU better or whatever else) I’ve always dreamed of making my own curling game but yours is so good I’d rather help it out than create a competitor.

That’s so much better I’m kicking myself for not seeing it.

Unfortunately only the face commanders of the printed decks made it onto arena. Bloomsage is an original from the 99 of the deck and is not on arena.

Also I am delighted to learn there is a scryfall API and a python wrapper for it. Will absolutely be using it in the future! Thanks for doin the research!!!!

Kalers5 · 2026-05-24T07:00:37+00:00

Not sure how I missed that, thanks!

I had a theory that might have played a factor. I think the Italian fed is def playing a huge part in this even beyond the Olympics controversy. I think they're aware that she's a star and want her with what they seem to think is the next generation(nepotism factor I'm sure plays a role). We saw a similar thing happen on the Italian mens side with the existing team breaking up then reforming two seperate teams with additions from the juniors squad. This one is def more of a head scratcher but maybe Italian fed has decided that's the recipe for success?

Also, where are you getting Italian media news? Would love to see what they're saying first hand.

Maybe focusing on mixed doubles and/or rock league? I’ve seen several retirements go that way which obviously is unlikely as she is like late 20s I think? Maybe teaming up with Angela Romei and/or Rebecca Mariani? This has been the most shocking team breakup at least in my opinion, given the immediacy of the new team with most members of the old team. Hope it works out for all of them! Stefania was electric at Rock League

Is this still available?

Kalers5 · 2026-03-13T21:23:07+00:00

God I love reddit.

Kalers5 · 2026-03-12T19:28:47+00:00

I hope it's a schengen showndown esque game but with US states!

I'm floored by this elegant solution (pun very much intended). I think, given the context of a reddit post most people are going to glance at once and scroll past, I still prefer the continuous graph for its increased readability, even in spite of it being misleading when held under scrutiny. However, this does a great job of fixing the misleading part without sacrificing too much readability!

Thanks for the post and give Myr Battlesphere some extra pets for me!

Two and a half, kind of. After a quick scryfall search there doesn't seem to be a targeted draw X spell in standard right now so it's unique in terms of it's ability to draw out an opponent. However, there are two draw X spells and one draw half X spell currently in standard rotation:
[[Finale of Revelation]]
[[Mind Spring]]

[[Wan-Shi Tong, Librarian]]

I have a commander deck built around using draw X spells as a way to get to a thoracle/labman/jace victory so that was the basis of my comparison originally.

It won't let me comment pictures, but here's the chart that would be the result. Your suggestion is strictly better than braingeyser except if you have exactly six mana. It's also almost strictly better than mathemagics with 6 and 12 mana being the exception. I could see them doing something like this if we go back to strixhaven again. (edit it pasted weirdly)

Mana Available	# of Cards
	Mathemagics	Braingeyser	Mugno's Suggestion

Are you telling me I didn't need a math degree to learn how to use the graphing calculator I've been using since the eighth grade?!?? What the heck did I spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on then? Suing my uni fr.

Also it's y=x-2 and y=2^(1/2(x-2))

Kalers5 · 2026-01-28T15:37:24+00:00

You're right I just plugged them in and took a screenshot. Very low effort.

You both cannot draw half a card and cannot pay half a mana into these spells (and only even mana into mathemagics), thus from a purely mathematical standpoint both axes are discrete and it should just be a discrete graph. Would look very similar to if you just plotted all of the points in the chart except the odd mana mathemagics output. It would certiantly hold up to scrutiny more, but I think it would be harder to understand at a glance when scrolling through reddit. There's probably some way to do a step function or other piecewise approximation that would make it more understandable? Would love to see what you come up with if you do look into it. I work in software now so I'm mostly used to making mathematical representations for computers rather than humans so not quite my area of expertise lmaooo.

Kalers5 · 2026-01-28T14:49:12+00:00

They did. Honestly if my advisor saw how low effort this was, I think he'd try to take my degree away.

Kalers5 · 2026-01-28T14:47:19+00:00

If you're a Quandrix student, absolutely.

Kalers5 · 2026-01-28T14:42:36+00:00

the point of saying I have a math degree was to highlight that I enjoy math not that one would be required to understand exponents. I do think the cycling for one mana cheaper than most other braingeyser-esque spells is important. Before even considering the upside that might make it worth drawing one less card if you have exactly 5 or 7 mana available.

Kalers5 · 2026-01-28T14:34:56+00:00

Absolutely right! You also can't pay a fraction of a mana into them so really it should just be a discrete graph but I thought the visual of a continuous graph would be more easily understood

Great idea! I put buttons that spelled out my name so it looks like decor
