The "good card" funnel
943 brought · 409 playersOnce cast, 83% of this card is still on the battlefield at game end. This reflects how often it survives removal, not just whether it's a permanent.
Players who cast this card win 24% of the time (n=96) , vs 25% when it never left the library (n=515).
When players drew this card but left it in hand, they won 19% (n=45).
Read this as correlation, not as the card's contribution. Casting a card means you lived long enough to cast it, so this gap widens with mana value across every card we track.
Observed gap -0.9pp; 95% confidence interval -6.2pp to +4.5pp. Correlational, not causal: powerful payoffs also get cast more often in games you are already winning.
