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.
- Debt to the Deathless: adjusted to make room for another replacement
- Lunar Convocation: AI plays it poorly
- Orzhov Signet: AI can't play it
- Swan Song: AI can't play it
- Toxic Deluge: AI can't play it
- Will, Scion of Peace: adjusted to make room for another replacement
- An Offer You Can't Refuse: replacement
- Black Market Connections: replacement
- Haliya, Guided by Light: replacement
- Negate: replacement
- Scheming Silvertongue // Sign in Blood: test
- Thought Vessel: 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.
