AI note: the Forge AI can't play 5 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 €100 including the commander. If prices rise above that, the shopping list is rebuilt automatically.
The shopping list was rebuilt with current prices on Oct 25, 2026: the tested version had risen to €100.89, above €100.00. 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.
