I guess the way it would play out is a tiny bit better since you throw your late drops and keep early drops at mulligan? Either way I look forward to trying a few joust cards (such as Tuskarr Jouster)...

So, to clarify for myself, you're automatically disadvantaged in any 30 card mirror because you lose tied jousts? Which is why each mirrored column/row has a win percent <50?

How are the mirror matches not all 50 50?When you have a tie you lose.

When you play a joust card then your revealed card must have a higher mana cost to trigger Joust. If the mana cost is the same nothing happens.

This looks odd... Why don't the exact same decks have a 50% chance against each other?

I feel like the thing (understandably) not accounted for is when you play the joust. With a card like Master Jouster, there's a good chance you've got a couple of your early drops out of the way. Same...

The thing is you're comparing current decks which haven't been rebuilt in order to increase the odds. For example you can substitute Owl with a Spellbreaker which would have a big impact as the 4 mana...

I agreed with you at first, but I realized that there are good reasons against it :too much info like you saidit can take too long! People bitch again and again about animation length already

That is lower than I expected, even for the really heavy archetypes. Arg, I don't think these cards will work out. Too unreliable. You're right, tie = no buff is a killer.

Joust is probably not going to be super-competitive outside a few overpowered examples (assuming there are more), but one interesting thing that could come from it is a deck archetype that focuses on...

The logic is correct, I was looking for how reliable the random functon itself is. Looked it up and apparently it was fixed once so it should be fine.

Although the decks were you need the heal more (aggro decks) will yield good odds to win the joust versus control decks where the body might be prioritized more.

The point about slots is a bit misleading -- if you would run Guardian of Kings in the 7 slot, just drop it and put Tuskarr in. Either you get it out on T5, or you get a T7 5/5 + guy + likely heal.

Perhaps you're right that they can be played side by side, but I feel there's already some crowding at the 5 mana slot for Mid pally, with Loatheb and/or Harrison, Healbot, and Sludge. You're correct...

Unlike Healbot the Tuskarr has an acceptable body for its CMC though. While you can't just replace healbots, it's definitly possible to play them side by side i think. Some control-oriented paladin...

I don't disagree, but I think trying to evaluate Joust in a (what will be) stale meta is also premature. Sure, at first people are going to try and incorporate new cards into already successful...

Keep in mind that you dont necessarily need the heal against decks that will be slower than you, which makes the card amazing. the decks that are faster than you, you will win more often than not. Also...
