      @@josiahsantos6286 Been seeing a few comments saying this, I know it's an old comment on an old video and it doesn't matter a bunch but still wanted to try to clear things up: the sacrifice trigger from evoking is on ETB, so it also gets stacked over the Exhume, so by the time we get to Exhume, we already have Endurance in the graveyard. Then, when Exhume goes to resolve, it doesn't fizzle, because it doesn't target anything, so George would get to choose to get the Endurance back. Then, because the Endurance changed zones, it's now a new game object with no memory of being evoked, so there's no new sacrifice trigger. If you've seen "scam" patterns with Grief + Undying Evil, or Solitude + Ephemerate, it's the same sort of thing.
      They brushed past it a little but the final outcome was actually correct.

    Tendrils is in the deck to win the game. You use gristle brand to draw a bunch of cards, then play children of korlis to gain all of the life back. Then you draw your whole deck, reanimating back the children to keep gaining life. Then cast tendrils for game with storm of 10 or higher.

    This video was hilarious 😂
    George had me cracking up the episode. I wish this series could be turned into a weakly thing because this is now my favorite series in combination with the cardmarket feature match.
    10/10 keep up the good content!

    • @Featherwick
      @Featherwick 2 роки тому +8

      There's no real method to it. The issue is the spindowns are weighted weird and thus if the side opposite the 20, 19 etc is heavier you'll roll extremely high and vice versa. In a regular d20 even if one side is favored you'll still roll a 2 or an 8 as those are right next to the 20.

    • @2ndPerk
      @2ndPerk 2 роки тому +7

      @@Featherwick 2 issues with that argument.
      a) From what I can tell, any test I've seen of this theory demonstrates that there is no statistially significant difference between normal D20 and Spindowns. If you have any source that actually runs experiments in any fashion and demonstrates differently, please direct me to it.
      b) This only comes up when rolling for going first, realistically, so if there is a standard weighting error within spindown dice, it actually doesn't matter because both people are rolling one so it affects them equally. And I highly doubt any theoretical increase in the likelihood of rolling ties on certain numbers brings it anywhere near the 1/36 tie of both people rolling 7s on 2d6, along with the other tie situations.
      So, given that any statistical oddities are irrelevant, should they even exist, the only problem left is cheating.
      It is in fact easier to roll in such a way to increase the likelihood of a high number, but it's also extremely obvious when observed, and not even particularly effective.
      In conclusion, it is more efficient to roll spindown dice than 2d6 as it reduces the likelihood of ties and therefor the number of rerolls.

    • @firekirby123
      @firekirby123 2 роки тому +3

      ​@@2ndPerk The main concern is that spindowns have significantly more faces with double-sided numbers on one side of the dice than the other, when on a standard die both sides will have a fairly equal number of each. (not exactly, ofc, since 10 is opposite 11) Since most D20s have indents cast into the dice for easier inking, this can result in more material being removed from the higher numbered side, meaning the lower numbered side will be heavier and settle more quickly. This is a similar reason to why clear dice are standard for most competitive play, as cheap opaque dice can often have air bubbles or poorly compressed material comps that result in one side being weighted, despite the dice not actually being modified in any way.
      Of course, in most dice the amount of material offset by number indents is almost inconsequential, to the point where higher numbers might pop up a *fraction* of a percent more. In practice, if you want to use a rolldown, and don't want people to think you're cheating with it for whatever reason, just get a small dice tower to throw it in when rolling. Because yeah, statistically, each face has an equal chance of landing, number placement on the dice is irrelevant.

    • @BrainlessEd
      @BrainlessEd Рік тому +1

      ​​​​@@2ndPerk If the 2 spindowns (or d20s) were perfectly weight such that the result is completely randomized, there would be a 1/20 chance of a tie.
      Edit: Nevermind. Took the 1/36 at face value. The chance of tieing with 2d6 is 11.3%, which is higher than 5% with spindown/d20
