A wise community member once told me that would never work in a 50/30 format.

Warning: Complicated math involving intricate theories and calculations below on how this works. You have been warned.
Assuming we really want to start with [[Roots of Yggdrasil]] in our opening hand, the odds of doing so with 3 sites mulliganed would be 19.99%.
With [[Magician]], we get to filter up to 10 cards in our starting hand, that's 1/6 chance of drawing the key combo piece. Hold up, that's only 16.6% chance to dra-... Maybe we can look at this from another angle.
I swear I got it this time, please hear me out again...
What's so different with [[Magician]] and what makes it the best avatar to pull this combo in the Gothic era?
It's no secret that the effectiveness of this combo is linearly correlated with the Atlas size; the smaller the Atlas, the stronger the combo. We can all agree on this right?
