The "good card" funnel
1252 brought · 421 playersOnce cast, 88% 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 23% of the time (n=136) , vs 27% when it never left the library (n=673).
When players drew this card but left it in hand, they won 33% (n=57).
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 -3.3pp; 95% confidence interval -7.9pp to +1.3pp. Correlational, not causal: powerful payoffs also get cast more often in games you are already winning.
