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)
  • Cascade Bluffs: AI can't play it
  • City of Brass: adjusted to make room for another replacement
  • Dualcaster Mage: AI can't play it
  • Emergence Zone: AI can't play it
  • Etali, Primal Storm: swapped for a test
  • Izzet Signet: AI can't play it
  • Swan Song: AI can't play it
Played instead in the tournament
  • Avatar Roku, Firebender: replacement
  • Azula, Cunning Usurper: test
  • Mental Misstep: replacement
  • Nightscape Familiar: replacement
  • Rogue's Passage: replacement
  • Stormcarved Coast: replacement
  • Sunken Hollow: replacement

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 swap has enough games for a verdict yet.

3 more tested cards are still collecting games.
