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.
- Mindslaver: AI can't play it
- Mishra's Bauble: AI can't play it
- Oblivion Stone: AI can't play it
- Sylvan Safekeeper: AI can't play it
- Wayfarer's Bauble: swapped for a test
- Bender's Waterskin: replacement
- Cracked Earth Technique: replacement
- Ozolith, the Shattered Spire: replacement
- Planar Outburst: replacement
- Veil of Summer: 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.
