Does the weighting hold up?

Category comparison

Average bracket_fit rating by curated category, numeric answers only. Sample sizes are shown next to every bar - a couple of these are still thin.

  • Mass Land Denial 3.90n=39
  • Fast Mana 3.88n=24
  • Notable Card Warnings 3.67n=3
  • Stax 3.46n=39
  • Repeatable Discard 3.40n=10
  • Closer Density 3.33n=6
  • Extra Turns 3.28n=25
  • Free/Alt-Cost Interaction 3.09n=11
  • Mass Mana 3.00n=4
  • Turn Skip 2.90n=10
  • Tutors 2.89n=27

Bars are scaled between 2.50-4.00, not the full 1-5 answer range, so the gap between categories is easier to read at a glance - exact averages are always shown at the right. Mass Land Denial, the highest-rated category, is highlighted.

Still gathering signal

Calibration accuracy

3 of 14 calibration votes correct so far. Too early to mean much at this sample size - this becomes a real signal once more calibration cards get voted on.

Recent notes

  • on Time Vault: “On its own, it's definitely nowhere near as strong as it could be. And although Bracket 4 allows for chaining extra turns, tutoring it and an untapper like Voltaic Key is far too easy. If it were ever unbanned for some reason, Bracket 5 is where it should stay.”
  • on Necropotence: “fuck this card in casual”
  • on Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward: “If it's in a dungeon deck, I'd assume it is in the deck for the two-card infinite and bump it to a B4.”
  • on Bloodchief Ascension: “I assume it'll come with the two-card infinite. If it doesn't, I'd drop it to a 3.”
  • on Toxrill, the Corrosive: “Its socially rude bracket 3 and below”
  • on Tergrid, God of Fright // Tergrid's Lantern: “Not friendly for casual environments.”
