The "good card" funnel
281 brought · 138 playersOnce cast, 73% 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 31% of the time (n=27) , vs 20% when it never left the library (n=161).
When players drew this card but left it in hand, they won 24% (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 +10.8pp; 95% confidence interval +0.9pp to +20.7pp. Correlational, not causal: powerful payoffs also get cast more often in games you are already winning.
