Well, this is what I gathered. The 19TTW came from a combination of not drawing any Pends during my first draw and facing the Pandemonium Voodoo Elder...which is designed to stall you into submission. I had a second game where I drew no Pends, but I was killed before killing the AI so this was not included in the TTW. With ~2.8% chance of not drawing Pends in my first hand at all, I wouldn't be surprised if this occurred again seeing as how the AI are designed to stall more so than win now. Being the AI3 grinding addict I am, I managed to shave 3 minutes off of the total time spent, which consequently made my IG Score Eff higher. I do not keep track of time spent outside of the game. I have a few concerns about the deck build itself, but I think I'll continue for 150 more games before coming to a conclusive decision.
Thanks for testing. I'll be interested to see how the rest goes... I feel like there's a pretty good "feel" learning curve with the black holes and I took my 50 game stats after testing about 100 games. I'll be interested to see if yours improve or mine get worse. I'd imagine there is a balance somewhere in between.
Anyways, to calculate TSE from score and time. Take score/(time(minutes) * 60 + games * 9)/3600=(1427 score)/(4176/3600(seconds/hr))=1230.172 score/hr ---- The 9 seconds is an assumed number that estimates time between games. I've been using it for all TSE calculations.
This would put your TADA efficiency above mine, but I have already stated privately I think you are a much faster player than I am for various reasons. Your TTW is higher than mine and total EMs from 50 games were lower by 4, which is enough to push efficiency lower than USEM in comparison I believe. Unless USEM has some ungodly long losses, which it might because it can heal itself for longer. TADAs losses seem to be quicker when they happen, probably due to the PSN mechanic more than anything.
Kudos, and I look forward to more stats in combination with the efficiency study:
Finally, what decks suggestions were you thinking of?
