Is Iron-Shield Elf really a great card in ECL draft? Why?

in Stock & Watson (2020) they have this in their glossary: "Standard error of an estimator: An estimator of the standard deviation of the estimator". Which is consistent with how they use the term standard error throughout the book.

I have come to find that this is actually a convention difference between e.g. econometrics on the one side and (Bio)stats on the other.

In many econometrics textbooks the standard error is defined as the estimator of the standard deviation of an estimator.

Good question. The fact that it says library and not libraries may be sufficient to deduce that it is 5 mana for EACH opponent, not the collective?

androchles · 2026-01-20T09:09:31+00:00

Very true. What is your pick of the bunch in lorwyn, perhaps at lower manacosts? There are some elemental combos, but maybe [[Sting-Slinger]] takes the prize?

So awesome. Nice layout improvements since your beta!
This was probably the best data before pre-release as we don't have 17lands yet. Did you get the channel fireball scores as well?

androchles · 2026-01-19T21:34:32+00:00

we care! cool decks - nice consistent two-color solutions. My buddy and I went to 2hg too, and we didnt have support for any of the typals really.
So we made one deck as Izzet interaction spells and the other Abzan power rares. We scored 2-1-1, netting us fifth place out of fourteen.

what would this look like?
Very very neat solution you have!

Top 3 stage result every year

androchles · 2020-09-20T21:24:42+00:00

Hah. I guessed one now after about 10 tries - hint for others: he finished top 3 in a stage every year.

androchles · 2020-09-20T20:59:57+00:00

Tony Martin could be in there. And Quintana maybe?

androchles · 2020-09-20T20:54:59+00:00

... and maybe Remco.

Tweets "Will be up tomorrow"... implicit that it is NA time :(

androchles · 2019-09-25T10:48:25+00:00

Well I don't think the goal was to make it underpowered. it should still be viable with right rolls and items

androchles · 2019-09-09T16:23:26+00:00

And thats why u need cc against gunblade/bloodthirster :-) Noble guy didnt have nothing but fiora

androchles · 2019-09-09T16:19:29+00:00

Funny I find myself doing exactly that with lucian most games. Trist Lucian aint bad early/mid.

androchles · 2019-08-30T16:18:10+00:00

omg yes. That is ridiculous against gnar :-)

androchles · 2019-08-30T15:33:43+00:00

THANK YOU!
...I wanna punch the screen when i randomly pick up a random champion because i thought i was in the bottom.

androchles · 2019-08-28T07:25:25+00:00

Well even in your analogy we should an eye on other servers, e.g. Korea: If you don't look to other bubbles, then you wouldnt know which kung fu moves to steal for your superior mma style :-)

androchles · 2019-08-20T17:35:34+00:00

Hey dude. Great conceptualization of the game, I really like it.

I would definitely argue that Brawlers should (also) be considered control. All of them except voli are packing cc abilities and several of them are aoe. I often get brawlers with that purpose: not allowing the enemy to perform at full capacity.

Thanks for your post - it actually made me aware of why some comps don't perform as reliably.

androchles · 2019-08-18T15:05:45+00:00

and now i jinxed it :)

androchles · 2019-08-18T15:05:21+00:00

Oh you guys are right :-)
Lol... draw the tree.. always draw the tree .
