Marvel Super Heroes Commander (MSC)
82% of drawn Currency Converters are cast before the game ends, and the card lands on turn 5 at the median across 491 tracked multiplayer games on Playgroup Live.
Currency Converter is a colorless 1-mana artifact from Marvel Super Heroes Commander that turns discarded cards into Treasure tokens or 2/2 Rogue creatures. Across 491 tracked multiplayer Commander games on Playgroup Live, 82% of drawn copies reach the battlefield, one of the stronger draw-to-play rates in the dataset.
The card sits in 276 of the 17176 distinct decks in our system, an inclusion rate of 2%. That modest number reflects how new and niche the card is rather than any power-level ceiling. Median first cast lands on turn 5, but the distribution is wide: a cluster of casts on turn 1 from opening hands, with the bulk of the rest spread across turns 4 through 7. The 82% battlefield stickiness reading suggests that, once it resolves, it usually stays.
Being colorless gives Currency Converter access to every commander and color identity, but the data so far shows it concentrated heavily in discard-synergy builds. Doctor Doom, King of Latveria leads all commanders by raw deck count, followed by Quintorius, History Chaser. Both thrive on repeated card cycling, which is exactly the engine Currency Converter enables. The dataset is spread across 251 distinct players, and the single heaviest contributor accounts for only 4% of tracked instances, a sign that no one player is skewing these early numbers.

First-cast turn
n=115The "good card" funnel
494 brought · 251 playersOf 494 Currency Converters brought to tracked games, 141 were drawn, 115 of those were cast, and 82% of cast copies remained on the battlefield through the end of the game.
Players who cast this card win 31% of the time (n=106) , vs 24% when it never left the library (n=287).
When players drew this card but left it in hand, they won 32% (n=24) — about the same as leaving it in the library. Those players survived long enough to draw it, so the gap above is about the card resolving, not just about surviving.
Observed gap +7.1pp; 95% confidence interval -2.2pp to +16.4pp. Correlational, not causal: powerful payoffs also get cast more often in games you are already winning.
Final zone distribution
154 instancesMost resolved copies of Currency Converter finish in the graveyard or on the battlefield, with very few ending back in the library, which reflects how actively this card cycles resources throughout a game.

Doctor Doom and Quintorius together account for the majority of tracked Currency Converter decks by a wide margin, pointing to a strong home in discard-and-recur strategies, though the colorless identity keeps the door open to any commander.
