Repeat 20 times and then multiply them all together? How does that work? By my count once you hit five sprites you are guaranteed a critical so . . . the odds are .4375*.73*.996 or .31 for "infinite". Still too low to base a strategy around but fun to think about.
    The math is 14% You get to to 20 and once you get there it's less than a couple hundredths of a percent that you cant reach any arbitrary number

    Getting to 20 is also about 14%. Most of the stopping happens on the first few rolls

    FWIW, 15-20 is 6 possibilities out of 20, so the chance to fizzle is in powers of 0.7.

    Demilich is a playable.

    It's Entombable (kinda), discardable, Boltable.. and its basically a Hypnotic Specter for a turn with a Thoughtseize in the bin. The attack trigger + a removal spell looks good as well, play removal lower the cost, then play the removal next turn. Its attack trigger isn't a may. Playing it from the graveyard looks heavy. 4 Instants and/or Sorceries is a lot.
    Luck is a residue of design.

    Seems like it could work OK sharing a deck with Arclight Phoenix.

    Class cards (enchantments with level up that resemble sagas) are coming.

    Barbarian and Pixie Guides is a pretty strong package for improving D20 rolls, but the payoffs are weak, and I won't be surprised if Delina is the only card that can mass produce rolls.

    Re: D&D (Maybe Better Off) Forgotten Realms Previews

    Yeah you kinda really need a cantrip that rolls!

    Something like an rng Serum Visions.
    On the low end 1-7 it just scrys on the high end it draws 2 at 20 Recall!!

    As I'm terrible at math - what's the percentage for 20 with an attacking Delina and barbarian class and pixie in play?

    Are their enough cheap RG legends to make this even sort of worth it?

    How about this Rogue Class? The first ability looks worth it by itself if you have some kind of creature-based mill deck.

    RG is a weak color combination is general, so no.

    But see for yourself if you can find anything worthwhile.

    How often will that ability do more than - say - Glimpse the Unthinkable?

    Approximate chances to go infinite (or hit 20) starting with:

    1 pixie: .141
    2 pixie: .276
    3 pixie: .421
    4 pixie: .554
    5 pixie: .666
    6 pixie: .755
    7 pixie: .823
    8 pixie: .873

    That's not a great search.

    For example, Mox Amber is a legendary spell so it will work with Bard, but isn't going to show up in that search.

    Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh, Oath of Nissa,Zurgo Bellstriker, and Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer could work with the bard class and don't show up either.

    Re: D&D (Maybe Better Off) Forgotten Realms Previews

    I guess you can do something dumb with Omanth?

    1 - Land - Ignoble Hierarch
    2 - Land - Bard + Noble Hierarch
    3 - Uptick Bard - Oath of Nissa for 4C Omnath or Nivmizet - 4C Omnath for UW (draw a card) + Fetch (Gain 4 life) + Crack Fetch (Get RGUW - so now you have 7 open mana . . .) + cast Nivmizet for 3 (4 open mana) + Stuff your deck with random good multicolored legends that have R or G and CMC = 2 and cast hopefully 4 and hope that's enough gas or threat on board to win the game next round? (or if you can go up to 3 cmc and cast 2-4 such cards)

    Best I got at the moment . . . .

    Taxing and pump a bit later. Doesn't sound too bad.



    There might be some shenanigans with stuff like Mutavault/Changeling creatures. Your Sigarda, if you have the mana, is an ideal target as well since she's hexproof herself and prevents sac effects.
