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 Rampant Growth instead of Mina and Denn, Wildborn · win rate 2% with, 8% without (49 / 187 games) · from an earlier version, not in the deck now
