Ok just saw that WotC is reprinting* duals and power, here are a bunch of takes in no particular order: 1. Player hat on: god does this suck to watch people who have wanted this for years know that they can’t afford it. No way around it.

Seeing a bunch of tweets about how Alchemy on MTG Arena is broken because card changes don't refund wildcards despite card redemptions creating "true" versions + Alchemy versions. Also seeing a bunch of suggestions about how to fix it. Taking a shot at a thread on all that. 1/ Before we start: who am I to go into this? I've played Magic for over a decade, Arena since launch, drafted my way to full sets, and have worked in free-to-play games product, analytics, and monetization for the last 6-7 years. I have player and business perspectives. 2/

Gonna take a longer time with this thread, but inspired by both @ReclusiveWizard and a text from @G3RRYT: 100 opinions on Magic.

Starting off with a fucking zinger:

1. Old status based OP systems were run by pros who broke floor rules via social norms around concessions. @ReclusiveWizard @G3RRYT 1b. Like, yes, you can make a system where it’s best if everyone concedes in spots with highly differential outcome leverage, but also the people who systematize those concessions are flat out cheating.

100 opinions on political data, from a few years working in it and a few years working outside of it looking in.

Starting with:

1. From an analyst perspective, election data is trash. You get real data on what you care about like 1-2 times a year, it’s only IF someone voted (not for whom), and so you have to do a lot of modeling off of other models rather than using actual data.
