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.
- Lyra, Archangel of Dawn: not in Forge
- Ob Nixilis, the Ascended: not in Forge
- Radiant Fountain: adjusted to make room for another replacement
- Serra the Benevolent: adjusted to make room for another replacement
- Swiftfoot Boots: adjusted to make room for another replacement
- Authority of the Consuls: replacement
- Cleansing Nova: replacement
- Emancipation Angel: replacement
- Reliquary Tower: replacement
- Seraph of Dawn: 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.
