The "good card" funnel
454 brought · 177 playersOnce cast, 66% 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 21% of the time (n=39) , vs 29% when it never left the library (n=280).
When players drew this card but left it in hand, they won 25% (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 -7.7pp; 95% confidence interval -15.9pp to +0.6pp. Correlational, not causal: powerful payoffs also get cast more often in games you are already winning.
