A Clockwork Orrery is a very popular card, as evidenced by its appearance in 14,588 decks on EDHREC. Is that number too high or too low? Welcome to Superior Numbers, where I try to do some numerical analysis on the popularity of a card using more math and less snark than in my usual column. […]

An Orchard Most Exotic is a really good card, as evidenced by having a home in 31,793 decks on EDHREC, and that number isn't nearly high enough. Welcome to Superior Numbers, a column that you may never see again but that exists at least this one time because I decided to try and figure out […]
