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.

  • Closer Density 4.00n=2
  • Fast Mana 3.91n=22
  • Mass Land Denial 3.89n=38
  • Stax 3.47n=38
  • Repeatable Discard 3.44n=9
  • Extra Turns 3.22n=23
  • Free/Alt-Cost Interaction 3.11n=9
  • Tutors 2.89n=27
  • Turn Skip 2.89n=9

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. Closer Density, the highest-rated category, is highlighted.

Calibration accuracy

1 of 7 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 Toxrill, the Corrosive: “Its socially rude bracket 3 and below”
  • on Tergrid, God of Fright // Tergrid's Lantern: “Not friendly for casual environments.”
  • on Grim Monolith: “Usually signals a 2-card infinite.”
  • on Glacial Chasm: “Technically legal in bracket 3, but not a casual friendly card. better suited for bracket 4 or 5”
  • on Opposition Agent: “A lot less friendly in a casual environment. It's the kind of card you expect to see in bracket 4 or 5, but not bracket 3.”
  • on Liliana of the Veil: “Too brutal of a card for a bracket 2 setting”
