Conclusions: You don't need a degree in maths to see that the Servant of Yogg-Saron generally puts out a beneficial effect - at least way more often than doing something which is complete shite (About 50+ positive results out of a total of about 80). There are, however, ways - or guidelines - which help facilitate beneficial results. The biggest one to me is to NOT play the Servant (or SoYS) into an empty board unless absolutely necessary. It works best when there are enemy minions, so all the offensive spells (and those that could go on either) actually have targets to go on. The next step is probably having friendly minions there to provide more targets for the friendly buffs that might come around (though I prefer to attack with them first. Just in case).

The best result, obviously, is when you play him, he casts a Brawl - and then wins that Brawl. So far, it has been always followed up by either a concession or a ragequit. Fun Times! I think I'll do one more empirical update around the 200 castings mark so we can have some proper mathematical proof to the SoYS being safer than YS to use (though not as game-ending).

But until then, thanks for reading, and remember:
It's all fun and games until somebody runs out of cards.
