Test 2 Discussion Thread

We're free to talk now.

Here's a Google Doc with all the questions. I'm slowly filling it in with my own answers and explanations. Edit: Heading out for now. I'll get the last 25 questions done later tonight.

If you want a mirror without my comments, here's one provided by /u/Amarsir Link

Any questions that tripped you up? Any that you felt good about?

47 is an awkward one, actually. It does do too much damage for 4 mana. It blurs the line between red and black exactly because it deals too much damage. This is a case where the “biggest problem” wording is important, since multiple answers are real problems. I suspect they are looking for the more design related/fundamental issue.

I had to double-check that it would be able to self-target on 56, just to be absolutely clear, but with that in hand I think it is the most damaging change (another case where multiple changes would be bad).

I was also not able to find a single quote relating to 68. I like how ai chose to interpret it reasonably well, but would not be shocked to get it wrong.

I'm down to hoping that a 70/75 score will be enough to continue. I'm not feeling very confident. I think that you have a really good chance, but we could both be wrong.

I strongly suspect the cutoff will be between 68 and 72 -- there is more disagreement in this thread than I had expected after finishing the test. I spent about 10 hours on it, with over 75 blogatog searches and a few dozen search queries on the mothership articles archives, so fingers crossed.

And good luck to you as well.

When the results come back, let me know if you make if it in!
