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 €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 25, 2026: the tested version had risen to €202.68, 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 swap has enough games for a verdict yet.

2 more tested cards are still collecting games.
