As @nomadotto.bsky.social proved, WITH MATH, on our site, there are circumstances (in #StarWarsUnlimited) where having MORE cards than minimum in SWU make sense, I have to assume they've thought through the angles on deck consistency in SWU. Draw 2 does a lot of things to peoples' assumptions. - ThreadSky

So, to add a bit of clarity, of you are running a control deck, are concerned about your control matchup, and control is a significant percentage of the meta, it's justifiable to run more. With that said, I think increasing your chance for specific cards with this base is huge. Gotta run numbers.

Do you have a link for that article/video you did on it?

nomadotto.bsky.social•30 days ago

We talk about it here - https://youtu.be/bnOZvYNQUfI?t=1102

You can see the script I used to generate the math here -

Happy to talk more about it!

To be fair, the episode I linked also had math I’ve since forgotten.

theflyingwriter.bsky.social•30 days ago

Oh yeah? Can I get a link to that?

swudb.com•30 days ago

I think it was this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVgyeHUGo7M

But as an English major all the math hurts my brain and I block it out.

I’m an English Lit major too! I had to take SOOOO much math and engineering at school. Pain. All. The. Time.

@swudb.com @theflyingwriter.bsky.social It was actually episode 25 - https://youtu.be/bnOZvYNQUfI?t=1102

Python Script is here - https://github.com/nomadotto/Force_Unlimited_Python_Scripts/blob/main/Episode%2023/Deck%20Size%20Comparison.py

Happy to talk more about it!

Maybe I am crazy but -5 cards is basically getting to play this event once per game for free without spending an action, and it's not limited to units.

Is that worth 3 hp? Actually you know what, I think it probably is.

blitzcrg.bsky.social•30 days ago

Oh and actually mulligans mean you kind of get this benefit up to twice per game. So if you have one card (or better yet, a class of cards) you care VERY DEEPLY about drawing on the first turn of a game, and you can afford to be in Aggression, this looks better and better.
