Card cost: Total Elemental cost + 2Y/3 - 1, where Y is Other cost involved
Number of Cards involved: 2C + G, C is cards from deck and G is cards generated
Elements Involved: E(E-1)/2
Side effects: Values that result from imperfect ways of copying of the straightforward method.
Ex: 6 pests is equal to 12
+ 6 cards, so 24
. Fractal is assumed to produce an average of 5 cards. Fractal (average output) + 1 Pest is equal to 9
+ 6
+ 2 cards + 5 generated cards + 2(2-1)/2, or 23
. About right.
Currently the synergy in question:
3 Silurian Dragons is equal to 3*12
+ 3 cards + 1(1-1)/2
+ 14 (One has Mitosis for 0), or 56
. 1 Mitosis, 1 SoR, and 1 Silurian Dragon is equal to 12
+ 4
+ (2*3/3 - 1)
+ 3 cards + 2 generated cards + 2(2-1)/2
, or 29
. This Shows that SoR+Mitosis is very powerful, if not OP, especially with Time creatures.
