The "good card" funnel
1796 brought · 780 playersOnce cast, 84% 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 32% of the time (n=117) , vs 23% when it never left the library (n=978).
When players drew this card but left it in hand, they won 19% (n=122).
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 +8.6pp; 95% confidence interval +4.0pp to +13.2pp. Correlational, not causal: powerful payoffs also get cast more often in games you are already winning.
