The crew shares some fascinating statistics on the winningest (and crappiest) cards in Modern Masters draft.

It is really fun listening to you guys dance around trying not to tell us that running a card will win us games.
This was a lot of fun to listen to, I'd love to see these kinds of statistics for sets I've actually played with.

Well, we didn't want to intentionally misinterpret the data.
It's very easy to see how Tromp has a high win percentage, because if you can't win with it, you don't cast it. Still a powerful card.

Just saw the video, and wanted to pop in and say thanks for the compliments. I enjoyed the statistics, and glad you put them to good use =)

I'm pretty sure that's Crovax on Volrath's Motion Sensor.

I would love to see if they could get stats of "winner" of a drafts rating and "average draft rating" my sample was Very small compared to theirs I assume it was massively automated.

Yay, more TTC!
Loved the episode, the stats and the stories. Great as always.

Also: the whacky thing for Organ Harvest is that your teammates can sacrifice creatures to get the effect, which is pretty awkward as they are usually in completely different games...

What I mean is that I went in and manually looked at all the RTR drafts 4 times over 2 days, and typed !rating (name) of everyone in the draft then averaged it to get this.

Average rating of:

Swiss
Top two: 1642
Whole Field: 1630

4-3-2-2
Top two: 1680
Whole Feild: 1642

8-4
Top Two: 1737
Whole Field: 1653



Could you set it up to check ALL the data like you did here for the rating of the Winner of the draft, the top two of the draft and ALL participants of the draft? Or something like that? My data was only from the limited number of drafts I could do by opening the draft, typing the name, writing down the number moving on... I would love to see if it holds up over the massiveness you are able to grab.

I object to Tromp being called the most ridiculous Overrun effect

That status goes to Overwhelming Stampede, which I can't believe was ever printed.

It's in DotP 2014 ^_^

You were very close for most of them. This is over the 20k games:

Top2 1740
STDEV 76

4-3-2-2
Avg 1683
Top2 1701
STDEV 80.5

Swiss
Avg 1671
Top2 1698

Interesting. As one would expect, there's an increase in player rating when you jump up to 8-4, but there isn't much of a difference between the ratings of players of Swiss and 4-3-2-2.

The same folks play Swiss and 4-3-2-2 because they don't have the confidence to face the 8-4.
But if you're winning Swiss matches, it's much better value to try the 8-4 queues.

I made a script that estimates some of the statistics using Bayesian probability theory.

Results:

Code: Select all

Cloudgoat Ranger: 1169 wins, 604 losses
        Probability of being in a winning deck: 65.915%
                90% confidence interval: [64.055%; 67.755%]
        Probability of being a good card: 100.000%
Progenitus: 4 wins, 3 losses
        Probability of being in a winning deck: 55.556%
                90% confidence interval: [28.924%; 80.710%]
        Probability of being a good card: 63.672%
Bridge from Below: 0 wins, 6 losses
        Probability of being in a winning deck: 12.500%
                90% confidence interval: [0.730%; 34.816%]
        Probability of being a good card: 0.781%
Blood Moon: 0 wins, 3 losses
        Probability of being in a winning deck: 20.000%
                90% confidence interval: [1.274%; 52.713%]
        Probability of being a good card: 6.250%
Bonesplitter: 2650 wins, 2371 losses
        Probability of being in a winning deck: 52.777%
                90% confidence interval: [51.618%; 53.935%]
        Probability of being a good card: 99.996%

'90% confidence interval' means that the model is 90% certain that the true value is in that range.
Measure of being a good card: appearing in winning decks.

not exactly sure how you calculate Probablility of being a good card?

But if you're winning Swiss matches, it's much better value to try the 8-4 queues.


When I ran all my games I had much better return on the 4-3-2-2. in 16 drafts of each I got back 46 packs in 4-3-2-2. 39 packs in swiss, but only 32 in 8-4.

There is a definite jump in skill level to the 8-4s which explains why I got back almost a pack less on average.

This is what I was just about to ask, too... If you have the data for a "normal" (non-MMA) draft format, like RTR block, I'd love to run some analysis on it re: the 4-3-2-2 EV debate... (I could do the same analysis for MMA figures, but it would be less likely to be widely applicable, since I suspect the format drew more better players.)
While no one overhear you quickly tell me not cow cow.
but how about watch phone?

That was exactly what I was thinking, Modern Masters had a different group of players than "standard" "current" stuff.

My big complaint about the bad EV arguments for 4-3-2-2 because "You are just throwing away a pack because they pay less" There is a clear skill difference and skill matters in magic the gathering, meaning that slightly less skilled players have a better chance of winning and a much better chance of getting packs back in a 4-3-2-2 than a 8-4.

It is extremely unlikely that you will be able to go infinite on 4-3-2-2's no matter how good you are, and next to impossible to come out ahead. If you are very good either are possible in 8-4's.

My experience would show that you can slow you bleeding and get many more games in for the investment though if you are below the "play forever" skill level.

That depends on whether the LRR guys want to do a show on the DGR data first, but happy to publish it after.

So those ratings numbers are for Modern Masters?

These data are pretty cool. I'm not going to take the time to dig them out, but there was 1 common that was never cast, 6 uncommons, 5 rares and no mythics.

In 19,243 drafts, each draft saw about 16750 (+-240) copies of each common (fudging for foil lands), 7700 (+-56) of each uncommon, 2540 (+-22) of each rare and 1280 (+-9) of each mythic. Recall even though mythics are 1 out of 8 packs, there are only 15 mythics compared to 53 rares which accounts for the counterintuitive result.

It may be possible to back out an estimate on the proportion of times each card was included in a deck, but it would be a pretty wild estimate making some pretty strong assumptions.

Other fun statistics:
11 games were won by a player having played only 1 land
56 with 2 lands
402 with 3 lands
1638 with 4 lands
3917 with 5 lands
5269 with 6 lands
...
21 games with 15 or more lands
4 games with 19 or more lands

And Zempre won a game on turn 25 having played 20 lands.

@qrpth if those are Bayesian estimates, they're credible intervals, not confidence intervals. What does "Measure of being a good card: appearing in winning decks." mean, anyway? What was your prior distribution that gave you credible intervals extending well above 0 when the empirical evidence was Bridge From Below was 0-for-6?
