    How many universes could a game of Magic the Gathering make?

      Let’s just say “many!” The game is also proven Turing-complete so you can build a general-purpose computer within it, if you like.

      My quick description of MtG to interested non-players: “One of the original CCGs, created by a math professor, like chess but you build your army from a pool of tens of thousands of pieces which is then randomized. Richard Garfield somehow patented turning cards sideways. 😅”

    And then Anarchy Chess joins the server.

    I mean, there are nearly as many ways to shuffle a deck of cards as there are Adams in the universe.

        In the Adam singularity, naturally!

        Voice dictation gets it wrong every now and then but I’m not about to spend the time to change it.

      You can’t trust Adams. They make up everything.
