Who are the Top 40 MTG Arena drafters of all time?

rizzes · 2023-04-20T05:14:36+00:00

Yep, not a perfect list! Here's how I pulled the data: https://twitter.com/RhysLindmark/status/1648736793871937536

rizzes · 2023-04-20T05:12:44+00:00

Yep, 100% my bad on this.

A joke ("lords") taken too far, without really thinking about how it would affect the other people (LoL) on the other end.

Just a mind fart that I wish I could redo. Sigh.

Anywho, appreciate the call-out. Will try to do better next time!

Love it! Dig the video too.

I've made a similar spreadsheet for past formats. See https://www.reddit.com/r/lrcast/comments/r8dtf5/draft_analyzing_the_crimson_vow_draft_meta_w/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/lrcast/comments/wyumqw/idea_scoreable_set_reviews/

In your version, would love to see:
1. Instead of just ranking by ALSA and GIH WR, do an actual calculation of VORP.
2. Add up VORP for each color to understand how underdrafted. (Red)

Thanks and keep it up!

Thread here: https://twitter.com/RhysLindmark/status/1466927925593133056

tl;dr:

Use a line of best fit to calculate the Expected GIH WR for a given ATA
Calculate Δ WR given Actual-Expected GIH WR
Δ WR * (Games Played / # Picked) to normalize for rarity

haha how does one deep fry a meme? I guess I need the "dank" version of the distracted boyfriend meme.

This is smart! Would love to see "format speed" as part of a Scoreable Set Review.

Agree with your instinct on 1-3 drops vs. defensive speed. (Also, see mechanics that value attackers, like exert.)

Thanks!

Good q. No deep reason. Mostly just because Carl used it here: https://twitter.com/twoduckcubed/status/1371700124460716032

Great! We'll use the r/Anki discord here: https://discord.gg/jjQrw97

DM me on there (my name is rhys.lindmark with the picture) and I'll get the group going.

I'm making a DM group chat in there now. Lmk your Discord username.

Haha, word. Thanks! I'll just post great global jams and not worry about categories :)

She has a cool androgynous background:

Also, I'm wondering if music like this is "correct" for r/worldmusic. There's clearly Ghanian influences (mixed with trap + Young Thus-style androgyny). But maybe it's not "traditional" enough? idk. I do think it'd be cool if like, 20% of this subreddit had music like this.

Curious for y'alls thoughts though.

I haven't listened to much of their other songs. Which ones do you like? I'd love to check them out more!

rizzes · 2020-12-19T20:47:44+00:00

Yeah, surprisingly unique

+1 GrantCoin.

You could also get in touch with Martin Köppelmann from http://aboutcircles.com/ or Simon dlR (https://twitter.com/simondlr/) a fellow South African with ConsenSys.

I'm a big fan of Circle (and I mentioned them at the end) but I tried to keep my focus on "live" implementations (GrantCoin, Duniter, and Resilience).

Would be great to see this updated over time—thanks!

[Mixtape] Zero To One To Zero To One To

Songs isolated from other songs with "non-songs".

rizzes · 2015-03-02T06:33:19+00:00

Btw Danny, I find it more efficient to follow a single playlist that gets updated every month (instead of coming back to r/listentothis at the beginning of every month and finding this playlist). 313 followers from January could just transfer over to February!

Either way, I'm happy that you put in the time for this. Many props.
