Nick Huntington-Klein @nickchk.com · Mar 14 Saw @gavinverhey.bsky.social in drag on Spell Slayers which was v fun and also learned about this card which is a great demonstration of the St. Petersburg Paradox! This creature has an average power equal to infinity, and yet is realistically much smaller than measly 10k-power Jumbo Cactuar

Great fun at math these card games, the mathematics behind them are impossible to determine beforehand, in every game, like a game of chess, following simple rules for complex and unique outcomes. It's great fun, especially when plan does come together or even better than you'd hoped, strategy game.
By extension, this does mean that you shouldn't play Okaun's partner, because on average it WILL cause you to lose by deckout.
Remember folks, infinite doesn't mean big, it just means unquantifiable.
@gavinverhey.bsky.social were you aware that you designed a one-card infinite-power-and-toughness combo? That's its average power and toughness when attacking!
