I was bored and decided to figure out the stats on card distribution in mage wars and see what paterns emerged. (what can i say im a numbers guy) i wont give all the numbers (unless someone requests it) but here are some observations.
Disclaimer: since the game is so new, not all the schools are even represented by a mage. therefore these numbers and observations are likely to change greatly especially over the first few expansions.
Arcane - very balanced school, with an even mix of creatures, enchantments, incantations. slightly more incantations than average, nothing seems lacking.
Dark - weighted towards enchantments. lacking in equipment, except for the mage and school only equipment.
Holy - Fewer spells than the other represented major schools, however the only major school to include attack spells and the only school to include all types of cards.
Mind - unrepresented school. seems weighted towards enchantments.
Nature - Weighted towards creatures, and a high proportion of conjurations as well. few incantations, the ones they have boost thier creatures in some way.
War - Unrepresented School. most current war spells are either equipment or incatations. which tend to be one use abilities that improve in combat.
Elemental Schools - Mostly attack spells, generally lacking in creatures, although air has one. i would love to see elemental creatures expanded. obviously the majority of these spells are air and fire which is why i didnt seperate them because there isnt really enough data on the diferent elemental schools to make a comparision between them.
so what do you guys think? big waste of time? lol im sure many of these traits will continue. i dont see mind getting many creatures. i dont see dark suddenly becoming equipment heavy. although some things are likely to change. war will probibly have a high proportion of creatures. i think it will be interesting to see how things evolve.

I want to look at this a year from now and see if your predictions hold true.

well these wernt intended to be predictions. just what i noticed from the current card distribution. some of these statements i expect will change and im sure new realizations will be added as i get more information.

The year is almost up, although it'd be worth getting the druid and necro decks into your analysis before you run it....
