![]() Below is a table with the First and Last card for each segment of your collection, if you have 120 alphabetically-constrained sections of cards in across your binders/boxes. The EDHREC data makes this pretty easy to answer, although as usual I have found a way to complicate it. Given the distribution of cards played in Commander, how should I organize those binders into sections, to minimize the time spent searching through an approximately alphabetical collection?" Someone posed to me the following challenge: "Let's say I have a trade binder with n pages. This is the "profit" part, such as it is. Zetalpa, Primal Dawn Zacama, Primal Calamity Zendikar Resurgent Zilortha, Strength Incarnate Zhur-Taa Druid Zhur-Taa Ancient Zhalfirin Void Zealous Conscripts Zariel, Archduke of Avernus Zirda, the Dawnwaker Zendikar's Roil Zhur-Taa Swine Zephyr BootsĢ.3% isn't a large proportion this is just kind of a grab-bag of decent rampy "Z" cards. Get ready, cuz this is a big chart! Let's take a super-specific look at every single letter in the alphabet! letter Now for something a little more fun: since EDHREC knows the proportion of each commanders' decks that run each card, it's easy to calculate the proportion of each commanders' decks that run cards starting with each letter. I don't see a real pattern here, except that Sol Ring makes its mark yet again do you see any pattern that I'm not seeing? This plot shows a little more clearly the frequency of each initial letter in the EDHREC database, with red dots depicting the "expected" frequency if mapped directly from English-language dictionaries. Initial-Q cards have the best argument for being underrepresented, but to me this looks pretty random. The plot above basically shows that cards with certain specific initial letters aren't wildly over/underrepresented among cards on EDHREC. Just like in the English dictionary, "S" is the most common initial letter, and "X" is the least common. So, how common is each letter at the start of Magic card names? Understanding the distribution of letters in words and at the beginning of words has cryptographic applications and can help with the design of keyboards as well as information storage and retrieval systems. Let's just loosely define "profit" as "something that can help you get your cards organized."Īlmost every card in Magic: the Gathering has a name, and almost every card name starts with a letter.
