A deep dive on how using that 1 mana more by turn 4 has a large impact on the outcome of the game. On how drawing that one card more will, over hundreds of game, make you win a bit more. And why is it so. A lot of Limited macro-data using the replay dataset from 17Lands.com.
We intuitively know that it is important not to miss a land drop on turn 3 but at turn 5 it is less important. But how much more important was left to speculation. Well, until now - because this is exactly one of the things I measure. Along with many other stats linked to mana, card draw, even frequency of discarding a card that was more important in LTR than in most recent sets thanks to the Ring Tempts mechanic.
But raw data can be a bit boring so all the seminar is peppered with examples on how to convert those results to actions. So you can learn more about Magic: the Gathering limited while improving your limited skills at the same time.
