Never said it wasn't, you wasted a line. I'm just saying it's irrelevant.
I understand 1 pend is needed, but when you only have 4.. if you don't get that one pendulum minimum draw your turn pass to be at the very least turn 4 (draw turn 2, play pend, finish turn - finish turn 3, 4 entropy quanta, play disco in turn 4). Coincidentally this is how long it takes to play disco without any pendulum as well.
