Magic The Gambling with Rhystic Studies, Spencer, and Voxy | Shuffle Up & Play 58 Commander Gameplay

This week on Shuffle Up and Play, Voxy goons, Sam comes, prof also goons, and Spencer has a great time

[@robertcarsten4050]

The amount of ships that prof got in eve online is truly impressive. He will need to rest for a week from exhaustion

[@Halinn]

I thought Sam bet don't come

[@Vallenstein]

To Profs defense. At a point in time the "goonsquad" was the biggest collective of players in eve, known to gank in massive numbers with the cheapest ships possible.

[@ConorD1990]

Yup, plus Goonswarm Federation still run their annual "Burn Jita" event as far as I am aware (haven't played in a few years) where they try and gank anything that moves in Jita (the game's main trade hub) for a day or so.

[@jurokumon]

"don't talk about the goons to me voxy, I was there. Three thousand years ago..." - the professor, probably

[@magicalgirl1296]

This explains a lot

[@BenjaminKlahn]

@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2580">43:00</a> "The Professor is confused." IDK if he is because members of the infamous Goon Squad did say that they would "go Gooning" when they attacked people, often unsuspecting "newbs", in Eve Online. I've heard them do it. His reference is just an incredibly esoteric, and pretty messed up, internet subculture reference that like a few dozen people on a Ventrillo server in 2008 would get.

[@Kaiasky]

yeah. ganked was a term too but i kinda associate it more with DotA, in eve I'd really only hear it "sui gank" for like, blowing ships up in jita. regular gatecamps are just "gatecamped" or "podded". i think it's pretty unsurprising to use goon(swarm) as an verb if you were on SA or EVE at the time..

[@hewitttribe5536]

Will say, I've never played EVE online, but know the term from the Monstrous Video "Down the rabbit hole" made on Eve online, would highly recommend it as it's just a very well researched telling of the games stoey

[@another7674]

YESS the Goon Squad was a legit thing I think from the Something Awful forums

[@Skreddy331]

Yeah this is what I was going to comment. There was gooning in EVE online.

[@WontonTV]

I remember learning about GoonSquad from the occasional articles you'd see in the gaming press about the $40,000 ship battles in EvE.

[@Valance_Argentum]

I love the way Sam builds decks, theme over playabillity any day. It's always awesome to see him on the channel

[@oafkad]

"You can also bet on the don't come line." "That's just called edging." lol.

[@ChillingWithChu]

to be fair, 2d6 and 1d12 are more different than you may think. outcome range for 1d12 is 1-12 but for 2d6 is 2-12, and it throws off the odds of hitting a few numbers as well (think of how many ways you can get like a 8 with two dice). The odds make a bell curve

[@TheBizzerker]

Especially makes a difference in how beneficial it is to the roller when they need to roll higher than a low number. On 1d12, there are 8 possible rolls out of 12 that are higher than 4, for an 8/12 chance, while on 2d6, there are 30 rolls out of 36, for a 10/12 chance. Even more obvious if it was something like 1 damage, where on a d12 there's at least a 1/12 chance of not rolling higher by rolling exactly 1, and on 2d6 there's no possible result that isn't higher than 1.

[@janmelantu7490]

You’re 3 times more likely to roll a 12 on a d12 (1/12) than on 2d6 (1/36). You’re twice as likely to roll a 7 on 2d6 (1/6) than on a d12 (1/12)

[@jaredwonnacott9732]

Yeah, the fact that Prof is bothered by spindowns because they're unfair (literally affecting roll percentages by less than a 1000th of a percent at most and just as likely to roll unfairly low as unfairly high) and then offers to roll two d6 instead of a d12 is just mind boggling. He proves once again he definitely taught English, not math.

[@dinosuarman13]

That's why I prefer greatswords to greataxes in DnD

[@xolotltolox7626]

You can simulate a d12 with 2d6 by adding 0 or 6 to 1d6 based on if the second d6 is even or odd

[@pluralkumquat]

Fun Fact, Spencer. The game rules specifically state that you cannot roll dice or flip coins for no reason. A card effect must instruct you to do so for you to benefit from them.

[@Surg-265]

Amateur judge ruling: Spencer and Prof both get a game loss.

[@Kjos_jax]

Yea I didn't get flannel guy saying you can just do that at any point... sure you can. That has nothing to do with the game or it's actions though. Seems like a nice guy and fun player but that was a dumb thing to keep suggesting

[@RealityMasterRogue]

I assume it was a bit

[@georgeosborne7949]

Yeah, he was joking around, he understands that dice rolling as a game action is completely different from just picking up and rolling die for shiggles.

[@SirGarthur]

Bro knows exactly what hes on about, hes just being goofy

[@overdrivexelerate]

Okay but people need to acknowledge Voxy tutoring a swamp onto the top of her deck because that callout is *SO* funny

[@urface716]

Sam really just slipped in the line, "Snacks, edible and otherwise." Bravo sir. So many good laughs in this episode.

[@chrsjxn]

[@ecoKady]

Spencer's argument on rolling dice has strong kitchen table Magic vibes. Definitely something a new player sees and thinks they've broken the game and have no idea why they printed such a crazy card.

[@TheFatalcrest]

😂 "So I can just roll a Die?!" "....no?"

[@cryoboy]

There's nothing in the rules that say a dog can't play magic!

[@JosephTorres-zb7io]

In fairness, Magic text can be so unbelievably literal that I totally get his point. Case in point, wheel of potential from MH3, on the printed card includes one phrase stating you may pay x amount. The next sentence states you can exile x amount of cards from your deck and play them. The lack of a phrase like ‘if x was paid this way’ or ‘you must pay x amount’ totally makes those two almost entirely disconnected statements, I can declare an amount for x, I have the OPTION to pay it and, because there’s no stipulation I had to pay x amount in order to use the second ability, I can declare x is 50, not pay the 50, and exile 50 cards from my library and play the best ones.

[@rykx0r]

The reason why a d12 does not equal 2d6: a d12 has an equal chance of being any number 1 through 12, whereas 2d6's probability is an upward curve, starting at 2 maxing out at 7, and then dropping back to 12. 2d6 not only has an uneven distribution of probability, but also has no chance of hitting a 1.

[@thechikage1091]

Fantastic, finally an episode where one of the guests takes us to Cumtown. Thanks Rhystic Studies and Voxy for chaperoning the viewers and dragging prof along Also love how Voxy and Prof just yell at each other every time she's on a Shuffle Up and Play episode, it's like a good episode in a sitcom

[@Agaures]

Voxy is just a bundle of chaos, and I love her energy so much! Y'all were truly wilding this episode, and it was such a blast. Spencer's outlook of winning, because he's playing with his friends is truly the best way to play the game. And Sam's commitment to his deck is inspiring.
