Your 1/8 figure assumes the Nexus-produced gems are converted back to the type you cast, right?
Correct. That is why I said that that was the least benefit you could consider yourself to be gaining from the Arcane Nexus. It is the absolutely worst case. In actual gameplay, you win much more because of the increased flexibility even without considering the gems you get from other players' actions.
