Adjusted for the Forge AI

The list above is the best tested version, the way you would play it in real games. The Forge AI can't play a few cards – they were replaced in the tournament (the deck builder also rearranges other slots within the budget). The win rate comes from games with these replacements; the original cards themselves were not tested by the AI.

In the list (original cards)
  • Cryogen Relic: adjusted to make room for another replacement
  • Daretti, Scrap Savant: AI can't play it
  • Dispatch: AI can't play it
  • Krark-Clan Ironworks: AI can't play it
  • Sharding Sphinx: adjusted to make room for another replacement
  • Vraska, Soul of Stone: not in Forge
Played instead in the tournament
  • Mechanized Production: replacement
  • Mirrodin Besieged: replacement
  • Talisman of Hierarchy: replacement
  • Time Sieve: replacement
  • Uthros Research Craft: replacement
  • Wayfarer's Bauble: replacement

  • no clear difference Pia and Kiran Nalaar instead of Dovin's Veto · win rate 6% with, 5% without (177 / 61 games)
