Uber: /* Prizes */

= The Brass [[League]] =

Brass is a normal [[League]] that costs 25 gold to enter.

It lasts for 8 days.<br>
Every 2 days is a new interval. That means every 2 days you get a new pack of cards and you can play more games.

You can play 2 normal games an interval and 1 tiebreaker game. You can only play a particular person once an interval.

If you don't play your 2 games during a particular interval you can play them anytime later.

== Not a disadvantage to Join Late ==

If you join the league late you will still get any packs from intervals you missed and you will get to play any games you missed.

== Prizes ==
Prizes are in gold. The prize amount depends on how many people join the league. The more that join the larger the prize pool will be. You can look at the last completed Brass league to get a sense of the payout. For instance, with 13 people in the league the top player is getting 50 gold. Second 42, etc.

Card draw calculating

Hello welcome to calculating card draw. There are two thing I want to say.. first, dont forget auto draw takes away from the amount of cards you have in your opening hand. Second, dont forget auto draw takes away from the chances of drawing any time during a game where you will automatically auto draw.

'''== Chances of Drawing a Card After Opening Hand =='''

Theres a lot to cover here so Im going to make this page short and sweet.

You have to take into consideration any base buildings you have auto drawn that werent in your deck. For instance you are playing a mono MF deck with 40 cards and you originaly put 1 Dwarven Hall in it. That hall gets destroyed so the game graciously auto draws another Dwarven Hall for you. Now that 40 card deck has become a 41 card deck. You also have to consider mulligans.

This equation is assuming you have added your own base buildings. If you didnt, you need to add for the building. I'll go over calculating after auto drawn buildings that werent in the deck second. It also assumes you havnt mulliganed.

''LEGEND:''

X = The round it is
Outs = The amount of cards "LEFT" in your deck that youd like to draw
(the 7 is taking into consideration the first cards you have already draw. The number 7 in the
equation will have to be changed to the amount of cards you have mulliganed down to.

''EQUATION:''
'''(Outs)/(Total deck size - (7+X)'''

''SAMPLE SCENARIO:'' (Pay close attention to the quotes if you did not understand the equation above)
You '''"did not mulligan."''' Its turn '''"16"''' , going on 17 and you either need an ascent or an entangle or your going to lose for sure. Your deck starting out was '''"43"''' cards. In the 43 card deck was '''"2 ascents"''' and '''"3 entangles"'''. You added your own base buildings so you '''"did not auto draw any cards."''' You have already '''"played 1 asccent and 2 entangles."''' What are the odds of getting either one that you so direly need.

1 ascent left, 1 entangle left = 2 outs.

(2)/(43-(7+16)= 2/20.

So 2 divided by 20 is .10. So since its .10 that means you have a 10% chance of drawing a card that you need in this case. Now keep in mind .10 is the same as .1 or .100 or even .100000000. Thats the way decimals work.

''CRASH COURSE IN CALCULATING WHEN YOU HAVE AUTO DRAWN OR MULLIGANED:''

''LEGEND:''

X = The round it is
Y = The number of base buildings you have auto drawn (adding to deck size)
Z = The number of cards you have mulliganed down to
Outs = The amount of cards "LEFT" in your deck that youd like to draw

''EQUATION:''
'''(Outs)/(Total deck size + Y) - (Z+X)'''

Remember Z is the number of cards you had after you were finished with your mulligans. So if you mulligan twice you will have 5 cards left. Its important for the next section.

'''== Chances of drawing 1 of a card in your opening hand with only one in the deck =='''

This is the simplest calculation and easiest to understand. Its here as a foundation for the next section.

You automatically draw 7 cards. Also remember auto drawing. If you didnt put any base buildings in your deck your going to auto draw one and this will increase your deck size by 1. This section will not cover that. Remember you can auto draw more than 1 base building if you are playing a 2 or more domain deck.

''LEGEND:''
X = Total cards drawn
Y = Total deck size
Z = Amound of base buildings

''EQUATION:''

(X - Z)/(Y - Z)

''SAMPLE SCENARIO:''
Yes, That simple. If your playing a "mono" sylvan deck with "40" cards and its own "base building added" and do not mulligan the equation will be:

''EQUATION:''

(7-1)/(40-1) or 6/39 or 15%

Thats right the equation is your odds. Its insanely simple. Just remember to compensate on
both sides for auto draw.

Second, dont forget auto draw takes away from the chances of drawing any time during a game where you will automatically auto draw.

'''== Chances of Drawing a Card After Opening Hand =='''
This is pretty easy and its a good place to start because the math is so simple. This section will assume that you arent auto drawing the turn your calculating the odds of card draw. Because if theres a card you want and your going to auto draw your chances are zero.

You also have to take into consideration any base buildings you have auto drawn that werent in your deck. For instance your playing a mono MF deck with 40 cards and you originaly put 1 Dwarven Hall in it. That hall gets destroyed so the game graciously auto draws another Dwarven Hall for you. Now that 40 card deck has become a 41 card deck.

''EQUATION:''
'''(Outs)/(Total deck size - (7+X)'''

You '''"did not mulligan."''' Its turn '''"16"''' , going on 17 and you either need an ascent or an entangle or your going to lose for sure. Your deck starting out was '''"43"''' cards.

1 ascent left, 1 entangle left = 2 outs.

(2)/(43-(7+16)= 2/20.

So 2 divided by 20 is .10. So since its .10 that means you have a 10% chance of drawing a card that you need in this case. Now keep in mind .10 is the same as .1 or .100 or even .100000000. Thats the way decimals work.

Uber: /* The Counting Tree */

== Flux Counting and Improving Your Opening Game==

Whats your opening like?

Flux counting is the coin term for a well planned opening game.
Generally it should be used to plan flux spending for round 3 or 4 of
a match but if possible more. It will give you an edge.

== The Counting Tree ==

The absolute best way is to do it with a pencil and a piece of paper.
You put turn one in the top middle of the paper and branch out plays. As
an example I will make a flux counting tree for a sylvan/elemental deck. In
this example I want to cast Vapor Mahal and Bamboo Watchtower quickly to claim the
middle flux well but I also want to keep the defended.

== TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING THE TREE? THEN YOU NEED TO GET A PEN AND PAPER OUT AND RECREATE IT. ==

TURN 1: 10 flux
- 7 flux - Grove
- 1 flux - tenderfoot archer or valedune arborist
= 2 flux left
-------------------------
| | |
V | V
