  • The odds of pulling a Black Lotus varies with how much product you buy. But I encourage you to not purchase this product, as it is NOT tournament legal.

  • @rileyboomer8627
    @rileyboomer8627 Год назад +37

    So you kinda got the numbers wrong here.
    Ill make the assumption the 1.05% per pack number is correct.
    This means there is a 98.95% of not getting a lotus.
    In 4 packs, this means there is a 95.87% chance you WON'T get a lotus (1-1.05%)^4
    The chance you get a lotus is 1-chance to not get a lotus, or 4.13% (slightly Less than you suggested) I'm not even sure where you got the 4.15% figure.
    While yes on average you would pull one lotus per 95.24 packs (round to 96 seems reasonable)
    It does not mean in any situation, that you have to open 96 packs to get a lotus.
    If you opened up exactly 96 packs, and they had a 1.05% chance to get a lotus in each pack, your odds of having a lotus in your hand, after opening 96 packs, is only 63.7% which is slightly better than a coin toss,
    In order to have a 75% chance at getting just a single black lotus, it would take, on average, 131 packs.
    In order to have a 90% chance at getting a black lotus, it would take, on average, 218 packs
    So that means that if you opened 218 packs, there is a 10% chance you still would not have a lotus in your hands, despite having a plethera of other, insanely powerful cards

    • @blueplayer6197
      @blueplayer6197 Год назад +3

      Correction - you would actually have not a single powerful card, you'd just have tournament illegal proxies.
      But on the bright side you merely need to open 66 packs to have a better than a coin flip chance to score that sweet sweet worthless black lotus proxy.

    • @JO-gf8zr

    “On average” is such a misleading phrase when reporting statistics, because “average” is just any of several different measures of central tendency. Assuming that 1.05% is exact, it’s about a 64% chance to get at least one in 96 picks.
    (1-0.0105)^96 ≈ 0.363 (chance to not get one), so 1 - 0.363 = 0.637 ≈ 64%.

And let’s make it so that our secret lair for it you can only get the foils you want by absolute fucking random chance”

    Im sorry to inform you, but that inference is incorrect from a statistical point of view. Since the events are independent, meaning the pulls from one box do NOT interfere in the pulls of the other boxes, the chances of getting a black lotus is still the same, therefore, 1.05% for each of those packs. Nonetheless, opening 96 packs does not guarantee you a black lotus, you are just repeating the chance of 1.05% 96 times.

      IE my Extus Deck which utilizes Adventure cards. Yea i have 5k deck (Meren) but i have alot more fun playing 100-200 dollar decks. Jodah Unifier in my honest opinion is weaker than Jodah archmage.
      1. Jodah Unifier forces your deck into a clear path. Archmage gives you freedom (ive seen big dumb spells and eldrazi and super friends)
      2. Unifier is the glue of the deck. (meaning he draws removal)
      3. Archmage is easier to rebuild after a wipe.
      There is power creep in that they are making too much synergy. (cards used to just operate in themselves and combos were rare) The reserve list doesnt really help or hurt that.

    I can't believe Wizards would create a product like this, it's downright disrespectful towards the players. Please someone explain to me what the point is. The cards aren't legal in tournaments. They are just proxies, overpriced proxies made for one reason, to make money. I mean I wouldn't mind it if it was cheap, I mean there has to be a limit to how much you can charge for proxies right? For god's sake Wizards, please have at least some respect for your players. As if it wasn't bad enough, for all the money you pay you don't even get all the cards, it's a booster box. I thought the whole point of cracking packs was to get that feeling of "wow, I pulled an expensive, cool or interesting card. What were they thinking? It's the worst MTG product ever made, nothing compares. I mean I thought secret lairs were going a bit far when it came to the prize, but still those are real cards, this is a whole new level of rip off. Please don't buy this pile of pirated copied pieces of cardboard. It should be illegal to make something so disgusting and have the audacity to treat the MTG community like idiots.
