The "good card" funnel
4411 brought · 1290 playersOnce cast, 9% 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 28% of the time (n=553) , vs 25% when it never left the library (n=2495).
When players drew this card but left it in hand, they won 31% (n=146).
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 +3.3pp; 95% confidence interval +1.0pp to +5.6pp. Correlational, not causal: powerful payoffs also get cast more often in games you are already winning.
