The "good card" funnel
2133 brought · 782 playersOnce cast, 86% 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 29% of the time (n=208) , vs 25% when it never left the library (n=1242).
When players drew this card but left it in hand, they won 21% (n=136).
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 +4.7pp; 95% confidence interval +1.1pp to +8.3pp. Correlational, not causal: powerful payoffs also get cast more often in games you are already winning.
