The "good card" funnel
612 brought · 305 playersOnce cast, 28% 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 25% of the time (n=56) , vs 25% when it never left the library (n=332).
When players drew this card but left it in hand, they won 27% (n=26).
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 +0.5pp; 95% confidence interval -6.5pp to +7.6pp. Correlational, not causal: powerful payoffs also get cast more often in games you are already winning.
