• Optimal curve construction for aggressive archetypes โ€” the math

    A 30-card aggressive deck with curve 1-1-2-2-3-3-4 in a 2-2-4-4-6-6-6 distribution produces more consistent turn 3-4 pressure than a 1-2-2-3-3-4-4 curve. The double 1-drops allow mulligan flexibility. I've tested this across 200+ games. The distribution difference isn't intuitive but it's real.
