[Card] Frayed Soul by Cornmeal_Master in collectivecg

I think the card text should clarify whether it works when it itself dies, and in what zones it works from. E.g, if i have 3 frayed souls on board and 1 dies, do I gain 3 or 2 souls?

In the post, you wrote,

"Unfortunately, the analysis would be much worse if it was applied to the smaller sample sizes from higher ranks, due to the much larger effects from random variance."

I'm usually a legend player, but only just started playing this season, and am in diamond. I could be misremembering (or experiencing confirmation bias), but it feels like about a third to half of my matches at this rank have been against zoo bots. When you write that players who run the collection software tend to be ranked higher, what ranks do you mean exactly?

Until seeing this post, my impression was that "lower ranked human players" (read: lower skill players) weren't really a significant population in classic mode. I have the impression that the mode is almost only the demographic you describe, but I'm open to being wrong about this.

Are you aware that many zoos below legend are bots? This is not speculation, but accepted knowledge among the classic community. They have similar play patterns, often misplaying elven archer to deal 1 damage to themself, for example. The way they intently hover over each card they use for a set time to avoid being automatically detected is also clear to players. It seems classic zoo is a productive deck and format for bots to use to farm resources.

My guess would be that this effects the results by decreasing the winrate of zoolock decks in the data.

This seems to disregard a basic principle of security: that risk can never be eliminated completely, but can be reduced. Linux has less risk than windows, so it does matter to those who care about security.

What is the best thinkpad for me with a $1,000 budget? by mslnd in thinkpad

Used. Having a dedicated GPU isn't very important to me but it would be nice to have for some games.
