As EDHREC's designated Duchess of Data, Julia is new to Magic but no stranger to finding interesting patterns in complex data. With her master's degree in statistics and extensive data science experience, she is the point person for digging into EDHREC's rich collection of deck data. Her deep dive into card popularity over time within each commander led to the advent of the Fire and Ice article series, a weekly series cowritten with EDHREC's seasoned editorial staff.
