Hello all, It has come to my attention that I mislabled the "Ties" and "Losses" numbers on each of the cards. All of the average scores are correct, and the donut charts are correct, but the number of ties and losses are swapped. For example at 1:43 Ancient Tomb's chart correctly shows a large amount of grey (losses) and a small amount of orange (ties). The labels in the video say 257 ties and 47 losses. That is incorrect. It should say 47 ties and 257 losses. My apologies for the sloppy mistake. The actual statistics I talk about are correct, they are just labeled wrong.
Truly amazing that this tournament offers the experience of making a last-minute change to your decklist and then discovering that the deck no longer works after registering it.
Hey, is there any reason in this format why being on the draw is an advantage to being on the play? The concrete reason I am asking is that the matchup Chancellor of the Forge + Fury + Dwarven Hold vs. Murderous Rider + Bottomless Vault + Hopeless Nightmare was registered as a draw when the red player is on the play, but a win for big red if the murderous player is starting. It's the matchup Kamatana vs. NyoX it you want to look it up. I would have thought you can just pass on the first turn, so it's always an advantage, except maybe for very odd interactions like flashing in a threat on turn 0 with leyline of anticipation that can then attack on turn 1 which it otherwise couldn't.
Generally speaking, only very weird decks that involve cards like Gemstone Caverns give a player an advantage when they are on the play. Without having done any math yet, the example you have shared sounds like there must have been an error made. I will be investigating and will post back here when the result is corrected on the website.

I think the meta is pretty healthy right now. Lots of new cards are getting the spotlight.
Most meaningful magic tournament these days. Keep up the good work!
thanks as always for running it

I skipped out last time, but I'm back and ready for action!

Just wanted to confirm that this has been fixed now and it marked as a Tie regardless of who goes first.
Thank you for finding this mistake!
