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)
  • Lyra, Archangel of Dawn: not in Forge
Played instead in the tournament
  • Serra Paragon: test

What the games show

From 50 analysed games in 5 tournaments (tournament lists as played by Forge). Games that hit the time limit don't count, just like in the rankings. Values in brackets: average of all decks in the same price class. “logged”: recorded in the game log. “indication”: recurring pattern, but no proof of cause and effect.

Play style: wins through combat – 100% of the damage to opponents is combat damage

Strengths

  • Applies a lot of pressure: avg 54 damage to opponents per game (all-deck avg: 28) logged (50 games)
  • Clears the table: eliminates 1.18 opponents per game on average (all-deck avg: 0.62) logged (50 games)
  • Attacks get through: 4% of attackers blocked (all-deck avg: 17%) logged (828 attackers in 50 games)
  • Stable mana: fewer than 3 lands after turn 3 in only 4% of games (all-deck avg: 10%) logged (2 of 50 games)

Weaknesses

  • Slow to win: wins on average only on its 13th own turn (all-deck avg: 12th) logged (24 wins)
  • Vulnerable to direct damage: only 46% of losses to combat, the rest to spells, drain or abilities (all-deck avg: 61% combat) logged (12 of 26 losses)

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.
