I've got nothing.

I just wasn't familiar with that notation (wherever it's from). I guess it's more convenient to use "X" than trying something like "_" or "☐" or whatever. Good to know.

Right! For independent events, we don't care in which order the chests are opened or how long it takes. We could say that we'll open them up one at a time or that we'll open them all up at once or somewhere in between. If we're still at a point before that has happened and we want to know the...

I remember that BigBlue was a math person. Forget if we had anyone else... The figure they're giving you may be for opening up all of those chests. Each one is independent, but we can still compute the probability of getting the desired item from a set number of chests. Let's say that we...

X?

Alas, I'm tapped out.

Lately, I've been heavily involved in EDH deckbuilding and gameplay. It's kind of been ramping up and I'm having a lot of fun with the format. As I noted in some other recent thread somewhere, I don't want to turn into one of those people who basically quit the rest of Magic and become...

Most of the time when Nether Void was used in Magic's history, it followed the general model of "Blow up their lands with Sinkhole and Icequake and stuff so that they can't get enough mana to cast their spells, while beating them to death with something." It's simple and, compared to later...

While I'm baffled that coating anything with venom would somehow make it survive damage, that does check out... Spiderman: 16 (Pirates) Quest: Sails Unfurled (The next creature that ETB under my control ETB with an additional +1/+1 ctr on it and it gains haste ueot) Hand: 4 Library: 48...

As cool as monoblack control is in Legacy, it hasn't been a top contender in tournaments and it has struggled to adapt as the environment has become increasingly fast, efficient, and consistent. I sort of suspect that Nether Void as a tournament card has hit a dead-end. It's not viable in...

This set seems kinda bonkers. I mean, it's too early to tell for sure, but there's some potent-looking stuff here. Usually I don't appreciate new sets very much until I've played with them a little and I have to bear that in mind when evaluating spoilers and such. Either this is the first...

Good question. It's been a while now since I read the rules on those. I'll see if I can find anything... There it is!

So, despite missing a couple of key weeks, I managed to just barely sneak into the Top 8 on achievement points in my local Commander League. I'm tentatively planning to dedicate more of my active deckbuilding efforts to that league, so I'll be tailoring new decks or revisions to existing decks...

I think I've sketched out the role of Nether Void in current Legacy Pox decks. Along the way, I described how the archetype known as "Pox" evolved away from using the namesake card entirely. And I contrasted the more traditional Pox archetype, the one that actually used a full playset of Pox...

Played this and was generally satisfied. It's fun and I got to make sure that my opponents had plenty of tokens. The Commander League implemented a new contingency for infinite combos that if a player uses one to win, that player collects the relevant points for winning, but the game keeps going...

While Nether Void is a bomb in Legacy, it's held back by being a world enchantment. Actually, that feature holds it back in multiple ways... You can't put multiple copies of Nether Void on the battlefield. So you can add that 3-mana check to everyone's spells, but there's no way to double up on...
