Can anyone explain some of the deeper mechanics behind the Kil'Jaeden portal? I was in a game today where my opponent played Kil'Jaeden, and then played Headless Horseman. How does this work? Would he ever draw the head? Does the game literally treat the portal like a deck with infinite cards so he technically could draw it, but there's a 0.00000000000001% chance? I think I also shuffled plagues into his deck, and I had no idea if that mattered or not.

Wow this is comprehensive. Thank you for the link! It's interesting to me that they made such a complicated and unintuitive card. I like the card - don't get me wrong, but when someone has been playing HS for almost a decade and really can't tell how a card functions, I think that may be a sign it's overly-complicated.
So plagues do nothing. And the opponent would never draw the Head because it would get instantly deleted for not being a demon.

Fun fact: If the game actually treated the portal as a deck of infinite cards, the probability of drawing the head would be 0% then! :D
