The "good card" funnel
229 brought · 131 playersOnce cast, 65% 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 33% of the time (n=45) , vs 28% when it never left the library (n=118).
When players drew this card but left it in hand, they won 20% (n=22).
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 +5.8pp; 95% confidence interval -2.5pp to +14.1pp. Correlational, not causal: powerful payoffs also get cast more often in games you are already winning.
