Theory: Delver of Secrets

The top chart shows the probability that [card]Delver of Secrets[/card] will have flipped each turn assuming you play it turn one in Limited given a certain number of instants/sorceries in your deck shown in the bar at top. The second chart shows the expected damage it will do with that many instants/sorceries as compared to [card]Moon Heron[/card]. In actuality [card]Delver of Secrets[/card] outperforms [card]Moon Heron[/card] in a few other ways - it costs U rather than 3U, can attack as a 1/1 or block as a 1/1, is human for interactions with Equipment and [card]Moonmist[/card] (though [card]Moonmist[/card] can be a downside as well with the flipped side still being human), and occasionally has a looter-esque interaction with [card]Deranged Assistant[/card]. On the other hand if [card]Delver of Secrets[/card] doesn't get played on turn one it will not perform as favorably.
