Time limit note: 13% of this deck's games hit the time limit without a winner even on the third try (all decks in this price class: 7%). Usually the Forge AI is stuck in a loop then, e.g. with lots of tokens. These games don't count – so the win rate is somewhat less meaningful.
AI note: the Forge AI can't play 14 cards of this deck (replaced with similar cards in the Forge games) and plays 7 more only partially well. This result is therefore much less meaningful – the deck probably plays stronger in human hands. Affected cards
At most €200 including the commander. If prices rise above that, the shopping list is rebuilt automatically.
The shopping list was rebuilt with current prices on Oct 26, 2026: the tested version had risen to €200.06, above €200.00. Win rate and placement come from the tested version.

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 Volatile Stormdrake instead of Eternal Witness · win rate 6% with, 6% without (54 / 171 games) · from an earlier version, not in the deck now
