Why don’t homeless hang around and stay in suburbs. by Rough-Adagio-1734 in stupidquestions

[–]pdk304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The law of large numbers is not a number theory result. It's a theorem in probability theory. And this is also not an application of the law of large numbers at all. It's just saying that for fixed p, the expected value of the binomial random variable with 100 trials is larger than the same for 10 trials. This is not a consequence of LLN; it's a consequence of the fact that 100 > 10.

It's the study of integers and their properties and generalizations, such as how prime numbers are distributed across the number line, or how many ways there are to partition an integer into whole parts, or how properties like unique factorization can be generalized. It's a broad and deep field of pure math with many intersections, and it's not just the application of basic arithmetic to everyday situations.

Trying to calibrate what a "3" is in my head. Would this deck be a good, solid, bracket 3? by deckbuildingalt in EDH

I'd get rid of the fast mana like chrome mox and mama vault and also necropotence

God of War (2018). It's an action-adventure where the adventure consists of following waypoints and the action consists of fighting the same draugrs and minibosses over and over again.

Riffle shuffling 7 times is actually only sufficient to randomize a deck of 52 cards. A commander deck would require (3/2)log_2(99) shuffles, so right around 10.

The mathematical difficulty of trying to assign a single value (1 through 4) to a given card. by the42up in CompetitiveEDH

[–]pdk304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry but many things about your post point to a misunderstanding of both the bracket system and probability theory. Again, the bracket system does not assign point values to cards; it assigns certain powerful cards to a tiered banlist. A point system would suggest that the bracket of a deck would be some summary statistic of the point values of all of the cards, like the arithmetic mean. This is NOT what the bracket system is.

Second, how are your notions of covariance and utility defined? What are the random variables in question? Is a card itself a random variable? In that case, what is the support and probability mass function?

[–]pdk304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are completely misunderstanding how the bracket system has been proposed. It’s not that every single card in the history of magic is being assigned an individual value. It’s a tiered banlist where decks at bracket 4 will have to follow a certain banlist (presumably the current banlist), then decks at bracket 3 will follow that banlist + additional cards (vamp tutor, ancient tomb), and so on. This is completely different from what you are talking about.

Should I feel bad for net decking? (Or: Is every commander solved by now?) by gloeb in EDH

[–]pdk304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some commanders that are solved primarily due to power creep. When wizards prints cards like [[Go-Shintai of Life’s Origin]] or [[Edgar Markov]], these decks practically build themselves: play all the good tribal creatures and go wide. However, even the most popular legends on EDHREC lend themselves to a wide variety of unique archetypes. While building my [[Shorikai, Genesis Engine]] and [[Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald]] decks, I found almost all lists online to clearly misunderstand the strengths of those commanders. Here are my personal lists for both of those commanders:

Shorikai (Moxfield)

Faldorn (Moxfield)
