The "good card" funnel
1964 brought · 788 playersOnce cast, 85% 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 28% of the time (n=211) , vs 24% when it never left the library (n=1126).
When players drew this card but left it in hand, they won 18% (n=97).
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 +4.2pp; 95% confidence interval +0.6pp to +7.8pp. Correlational, not causal: powerful payoffs also get cast more often in games you are already winning.
