Thanks. Of course, now that I read the card text for Underrealm Lich, it sounds perfectly natural. Don't know what I was thinking.

This reads strangely specific. Is there a card that does that, i.e. that removes one or more card from the top of your library and puts them into your hand in such a manner that, since the keyword "draw" is not used, you don't loose the game if your library is empty?

I find your premise that homo economicus is considered the "perfect human" rather questionable. The homo economicus is driven by their rationality, but usually their goal is a self-centered one. This behavior is optimal for the individual, but can be harmful for many others. For as long as the homo economicus is not harmed by the harm inflicted to others, it's rational for them to continue this behavior. Yet, this is only a "perfect human" in the same sense that the robot Ash in the movie Alien describes the predatory alien as "the perfect organism".

@Matt (apologies for the very late ping): Indeed. Using the example from the article, the probability of drawing no Lightning Bolt on turn 1 increases from 60.05% to 60.60% if the deck contains 61 and not 60 cards, and to 61.14% in a 62-card deck – this isn't even a one-percent difference. In other words, if you have 4 Lightning Bolts in your deck, at least one of them will be in your opening hand in basically four out of ten games, regardless of whether your deck has 60 or 62 cards.
