    Throw from the saddle is at 59% GIHWR which is notably lower than some of these.
    I wonder if it just older set design vs newer set design or just 17land data pool being alot bigger now.

      I think Novice Inspector last set was over 60% winrate, and Preening Champion in MoM almost certainly was, so I think the tried and true method of “good body that 2 for 1s in some way” is still a winning formula

    I think for quite a few of these you also have to take into consideration that usually their color was really good in the format too.
    Healers Hawk: Boros was arguably the stronegst color pair and GW was also solid.
    Organ Hoarder: UB was by far the strongest color pair and utilized the organ horder very very well.
    Claim the precious: black was by far the strongest color (I think?).
    For Toll of the Invasion I think a big part of what made it good was that the set had so sooooo many expensive-ish bombs that you could really only cleanly answer with counternagic (which sucked in the format) or by discarding it before your opponent could cast them.
    Inspiring Overseer is in white and esper was the best color pair by far in capenna I think? Bant and Naya were also good iirc. Not 100% sure on this, barely played the format.

    • @jackvogel701
      @jackvogel701 15 днів тому +2

      Yeah definitely. I like to look at how the card improves win rates (final column on 17lands) as well as pure win rate to try to avoid the color imbalance bias

      @olafthemoose9413 14 днів тому

      @@jonsnow3855 what I want to say is that especially at lower rarities the WR data becomes less clear. Like imagine if blue has an absolutely bonkers common but all the other commons and uncommons suck, the blue deck synergies never come together and the other colors have better bombs. That card's winrate would take a serious dip.
      Compare that to a very powerful rare or mythic bomb which can singelhandidly turn around games, suddendly the GIH WR is a lot more reliable because the card had a much larger impact on each individual game.

    Was surprised to not see Environmental Sciences. It's been more useful than Expanded Anatomy from my memories of the set, and it has been taken higher, but apparently has 6% lower winrate-in-hand. Yea it was good, but wouldn't've guessed, huh.
    Do note though that Lessons probably have inflated winrate-in-hand stat, because you almost never have them in hand when they're bad. This is a case where I wish 17lands had "win rate when taken" stat, because Lessons also suck when you have to maindeck them, so that stat is useless.

    • @NizzahonMagic

    • @toonvanzijl2351
      @toonvanzijl2351 13 днів тому +1

      Since this is in hand win rate, it makes sense for expanded anatomy to be higher. If you took the sciences off of a learn card, you apparently needed fixing, so you're not doing great. It helped improve your chances on games that didn't start out as good as you wanted them to. Taking the anatomy made sense when you were ahead and beating down. At parity, you might have picked one of the sorceries that made creatures. Very interesting to see how difficult it is to compare these with just one statistic.

  • @Lorentz21
    @Lorentz21 14 днів тому

    Given that 17lands has skewed sample size to overall playerbase, think it would be reasonable to normalize win rate of each card by win rate in the format. I suspect it fluctuates a bit as well - sometimes 17lands has 54, sometimes 56

      Back when WAR released, while I played MTG, I wasn't super Limited-aware, so I didn't know just how good TotI was. But the moment I played a flashback draft of the set on Arena I had LotR fresh in memory, which basically had a bigger brother of the Toll, which was one of the top commons for black in that set. So I immediately picked it, and it did not disappoint lol
