How Hard Does My Encounter Deck Hit? v.2

Ever wondered, “What the average boost of my deck was?”,  “How likely am I to get a boost ability?”, or “How likely am I to get a minion?” I did, so I decided to do a little math. But before I did, I realized just how much I would have to do to have a complete table of data with all the different combinations. So instead of giving it all to you, which would take a while, I decided to KISS it (Keep It Simple Stupid). The following all my results….

New in this update:
-Added Kree Fanatic data
-Added Hulk to Nemesis section
-Added data for Chances of a Minion
-Added section for MCM plugs

Encounter Deck – 1 Player*

Key:
St-Standard, Ex-Expert, BS-Bomb Scare, ME-Masters of Evil, UA-Under Attack, LH-Legion of Hydra, DC-Doomsday Chair, GG-Goblin Gimmicks, MT-A Mess of Things, RI-Running Interference, PD-Power Drain, KF-Kree Fanatic

*assumes that player is using an obligation with 2 boosts, and is before Nemesis sets are put into the deck.
