AI note: the Forge AI can't play 4 cards of this deck (replaced with similar cards in the Forge games) and plays 10 more only partially well. This result is therefore somewhat less meaningful. Affected cards
At most €400 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.
- Cavern of Souls: adjusted to make room for another replacement
- Faithless Looting: AI can't play it
- Goblin Bombardment: AI can't play it
- Goblin Recruiter: AI can't play it
- Imperial Recruiter: adjusted to make room for another replacement
- Pyroblast: AI plays it poorly
- Sword of the Paruns: AI can't play it
- Battle Cry Goblin: replacement
- Goblin Burrows: replacement
- Goblin Negotiation: replacement
- Goblin Sharpshooter: replacement
- Goro-Goro, Disciple of Ryusei: test
- Mogg War Marshal: replacement
- Wheel of Fortune: 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.
3 more tested cards are still collecting games.
