I propose an experiment to try and determine just how strong first turn mayhem (called FTM from here on) really is.

Both players use the exact same deck. Lets try to do this with multiple styles of decks, but both players must use the same deck to ensure that theres no natural deck advantage.

Now, you continue to reset in RTS until one player, and only one player, has Mayhem on the d8. Play the game from there. Do this 5-10 times and see how often the FTM player wins.

Is anyone up for testing this?

Thats why I'd like a mix of players and deck styles, and each pair of players goes at it 5-10 times.

Also, i'll add in that players should alternate who gets the FTM.

The more data the better.

You wouldn't even have to reset, just shuffle your opening hand, search for Mayhem, and draw 7, if the non mayhem player gets it opening hand, have him shuffle it and d1.
