AI note: the Forge AI can't play 6 cards of this deck (replaced with similar cards in the Forge games) and plays 4 more only partially well. This result is therefore somewhat less meaningful. Affected cards

At most €300 including the commander. If prices rise above that, the shopping list is rebuilt automatically.

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)
  • Abundance: AI can't play it
  • Faithless Looting: AI can't play it
  • Mishra's Bauble: AI can't play it
  • Springleaf Drum: AI can't play it
  • Stormcarved Coast: adjusted to make room for another replacement
  • Tinder Wall: AI can't play it
  • Urza's Bauble: AI can't play it
Played instead in the tournament
  • Anger: replacement
  • City of Brass: replacement
  • Ominous Seas: replacement
  • Omnath, Locus of Rage: replacement
  • Simian Spirit Guide: replacement
  • Tannuk, Memorial Ensign: test
  • Tireless Tracker: 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.

2 more tested cards are still collecting games.
