Deserts , I suppose . <| sep |> This is quite amazing to me , how well do the violins perform over time ? How much extra parts are needed to make it fully functional ? <| sep |> Without doing the math he ' s looking at anything from 1020 years if it ' s consecutive sentences . It ' s a crapshoot on concurrent sentencing but he will not be out on probation by Christmas . <| sep |> And that ' s less troubling , but still troubling <| sep |> I forgot about the FFVI banner . I pulled a ton on that one , now I feel even worse <| sep |> Too real . Earlier this season they literally didn ' t show the kickoff to show more commercials . It ' s getting unwatchable . <| sep |> First off . Wether Twin was 51 %, 54 % or 48 % against rest doesn ' t have a huge impact . It had to be 51 % against the rest if we want to reconcile with the MTGO numbers of winrates . Those numbers are also close to what I can see when I did backtracking of top 8 results knowing all matchups , who won and who lost . You can make an estimate of a winrate that way too . see my work here , I used the same method but for a smaller sample size of WMCQs this year . My GP top 8 top 16 numbers reconcile with the winrate provided by mtggoldfish for Splinter Twin . This means that the people that top 8 tournaments dont have much higher winrates than the mass of MTGO . What this means is as twin players become more proficient with their deck and matchups , their opponents also do . Don ' t forget that . Facing a good tron player as twin swung the matchup postboard clearly into their favor . If you met someone without experience , twin was favored both pre and postboard . Alot of pros defaulted to Twin because perfect storm argument above , it was good at the time for where the meta was heading . most competitivepro players have played twin at some point , making the switch for a tournament easier . Also I want to note that at many pro tours twin was not popular at all ! !!!!, for example the one won by Twin had abzan as the default go to deck for pros . But luck made it so that the single twin player that was top 32 got into top 8 where he faced affinity and amulet bloom . Again , perfect storm . I played twin of all forms competitively , 50 ed leagues and 40 dailies frequently along with other european grinders .
