The "good card" funnel
3988 brought · 1333 playersOnce cast, 87% 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 27% of the time (n=566) , vs 26% when it never left the library (n=2343).
When players drew this card but left it in hand, they won 25% (n=72).
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 +0.6pp; 95% confidence interval -1.7pp to +2.9pp. Correlational, not causal: powerful payoffs also get cast more often in games you are already winning.
