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)
  • Abandoned Air Temple: adjusted to make room for another replacement
  • Akroma's Will: adjusted to make room for another replacement
  • Flare of Fortitude: adjusted to make room for another replacement
  • Lyra, Archangel of Dawn: not in Forge
Played instead in the tournament
  • Serra Paragon: test
  • Sunblast Angel: replacement
  • Teferi's Protection: replacement
  • Windbrisk Heights: 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.

1 more tested card is still collecting games.
