The "good card" funnel
1227 brought · 448 playersOnce cast, 54% 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 30% of the time (n=179) , vs 24% when it never left the library (n=613).
When players drew this card but left it in hand, they won 26% (n=48).
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 +5.7pp; 95% confidence interval +1.7pp to +9.7pp. Correlational, not causal: powerful payoffs also get cast more often in games you are already winning.
