Mike,
Fantastic work. For an old TFT nerd such as myself this comparison
is a fascinating read. I enjoyed every detail.
By way of thanks I offer the following. Not as interesting as your
work, to say the least, but another type analysis. Here are the
top ten results of Word-Count-Analysis from Melee (2nd edition),
Wizard, and ITL.
