Looking forward to this metric being Goodhart lawed.
Like how the strawberry example was overtrained for, or how the pelican on a bike started being used in official release posts.
- gravitronic 5mo agoMagic is complicated. I looked at doing something like this but the open-ended nature where one specific card will completely change the rules or require a series of followup events or modifications to the rules engine at hand is just tremendous.

- rcxdude 5mo agoonly if there's a player choice in the loop. If there's a mandatory infinite loop the game ends in a draw.
- olmo23 5mo agoThere is also this Matt Parker video about MTG, in which he explores a specific three-card combination that produces an ungodly amount of creature tokens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3dE-NJ1UDQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3dE-NJ1UDQ
- akoboldfrying 5mo agoI was wondering how complicated it could really be, and it turns out that some people showed in 2019 that it's Turing-complete -- meaning that any conceivable computation can be simulated by a MTG game, indeed a game in which every move by every player is forced: https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.09828 https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.09828 IOW, it's as complicated as possible.
- mckn1ght 5mo agoSomeone made a video based on the paper, if you want to see the cards being used and a little more explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdmODVYPDLA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdmODVYPDLA
