When I'm playing 2 secrets and 2 scientists, I sometimes end up drawing a scientist without any secrets left in my deck because I drew them in the wrong order. I've been experimenting with adding a 3rd secret just to lower the chances of drawing "dead" scientists. If we compare running 2 secrets to running 3, for both scenarios, could someone work out the chance of drawing all secrets with at least 1 scientist left in the deck? This is assuming we always keep any scientists in our opening hand and always mulligan secrets. I'm very curious about this! | ||

This is assuming we always keep any scientists in our opening hand and always mulligan secrets. I'm very curious about this! The calculation here is really, really nasty, because it measures multiple distinct events for different states and as such can't be done in a cute and convenient way. If you wanted to calculate this, you'd be best off having a computer fill out a table of possible results for you, because the total number of possible draw orders in a deck with 2 Mad Scientists, 2 secrets, and 26 other cards is 164430 (30!/(2!*2!*26!)), if I remember my high school math correctly. If you paid me $20/hr, I'd solve it for you, but... I don't think that either of us really wants to do that. In any case, the big improvement from the extra secret is unpredictability. Sometimes you'll catch your opponent off-guard, which really matters for (say) Mech Mage against Druid. If they don't know whether you've gotten a Mirror Entity or a Counterspell and they guess wrong, they're in for a lot of trouble. | ||

If they don't know whether you've gotten a Mirror Entity or a Counterspell and they guess wrong, they're in for a lot of trouble. To add on to this, it is further complicated by the moves of the players; how long you hold onto your scientist, when your scientist dies, whether he gets silenced, how many cards you draw before he dies, how many unrelated cards you mulligan, which in turn might depend on the deck you run and the opponent you're facing. The simplest calculation I could make (the one that excludes all player "choice") was to assume that you play the scientist as soon as you draw him, and your opponent kills it right away (preventing you from drawing any cards before the scientist is activated). Special cards like Coldlight Oracle, Naturalize, etc are also off the table. In that case it would be 25% (for 2 scientists and 2 secrets) and 56.66~% (for 2 scientists and 3 secrets) chance to draw all your scientists with secrets still remaining in your deck. | ||

Depending on what TCG your playing you "ramp" a different resource to accomplish something sooner than you normally would be able to. In hearthstone Druids use cards like Innervate, Nourish and Wild Growth to gain mana faster then normal, allowing them to play bigger cards before you. | ||

It means you don't have 30 cards in that deck, probably because you disenchanted something they were using. | ||
