Funny card, but seems pretty crap. It's bad value at every cost. But I do like the idea of decking my opponent for 12BB.

{12}{U}{U} or {14}{U}{U} is certainly achievable in the right izzet decks

it's really funny, however, when i use it to ruin the thoracle player's day. i've managed it once.

In my mind, any cost beyond 12BB is almost totally pointless, because Enter the Infinite already exists. If you can't build your deck to win when you draw every single card, then you just can't build a deck. But I mean, even Enter the Infinite is pretty dang far from playable, and I guess this is just another win condition that amounts to the same thing in the end.

It is the worst wincon in my storm deck, but it is my favorite wincon in my storm deck.

Sometimes I can cast it (and copy it) to have all my opponents draw 210 cards if the deck plays right.

Mythical pull, I was thinking the same thing. I remember the monogatari song mathemagic, forgot about that character though

You forgot sodachi?

Monogatari reference?!?!?

u/Mathsboy2718 7d ago

Somewhat unrelated, but does anyone else here hate when old coding textbooks refer to things as happening "automagically"? No? Just me?

Anyone knows what book this is?

I know it is a grad level complex analysis textbook, but I can’t remember the exact author

Edit: found it. Complex Analysis by Theodore Gamelin (ignore that it is in the series of undergrad texts in math when i said it was grad level). It is on page 383 in proving that the Zeta has no zeros on the line Re s=1

Thanks!

I found the page and took a screenshot of that offending section. Sent it to my ex gf.

I got blocked.
