The "good card" funnel
445 brought · 199 playersOnce cast, 92% 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=60) , vs 26% when it never left the library (n=248).
When players drew this card but left it in hand, they won 34% (n=27).
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 -1.8pp; 95% confidence interval -8.9pp to +5.2pp. Correlational, not causal: powerful payoffs also get cast more often in games you are already winning.
