    2 versions, each with one of: Carth the Lion
  • Prologue to Phyresis + Expansion Algorithm → Win the game

Commander Spellbook lists 3 entries because every version counts separately (for example with a different sacrifice outlet). Here each combo counts once.

What the program has learned

Each tournament the deck tests one card. A verdict needs at least 40 games with and without the card. Since the deck is rebuilt every tournament with current prices and data, tested cards can drop out again later.

  • no clear difference Dovin's Veto instead of Anguished Unmaking · win rate 38% with, 34% without (40 / 210 games) · from an earlier version, not in the deck now
  • no clear difference Tainted Observer instead of Narset, Parter of Veils · win rate 36% with, 34% without (90 / 160 games)
