• # GP: Number of Games Played. This metric reflects the total engagement with a card, weighted by the number of copies included in the main deck (values range from 69 to 394,000, with a mean of 77,400).
• % GP: Play Rate. This indicates the frequency with which a card was included in a deck when available in the card pool, weighted by the number of games and copies of the card (e.g., common values include 92.8% and 2%).
• GP WR: Games Played Win Rate. This is the win rate for decks that included at least one copy of this card in their main deck, weighted by the number of copies present (e.g., common values include 53.6% and 53.5%).
• # OH: Number of Games in Opening Hand. This counts how many games saw an instance of the card in the final kept opening hand. Each copy in hand contributes to the count (values range from 7 to 65,900, with a mean of 13,200).
• OH WR: Opening Hand Win Rate. This is the win rate of games where a card instance was in the opening hand, weighted by the number of copies in hand (e.g., a common value is 49.3%).
• # GD: Number of Games Drawn. This counts instances of a card being drawn into hand from the deck after the opening hand. It includes cards drawn at the start of a turn or via card drawing abilities, but excludes tutored cards or those returned to hand (values range from 13 to 94,100, with a mean of 19,000).
• GD WR: Games Drawn Win Rate. This is the win rate of games where a card instance was drawn into hand, excluding the opening hand, weighted by the number of copies drawn (e.g., a common value is 55.5%).
• # GIH: Number of Games In Hand. This represents the total instances a card was in hand, whether initially in the opening hand or drawn later. Each copy in hand contributes to the count (values range from 20 to 159,000, with a mean of 32,200).
• GIH WR: Games in Hand Win Rate. This is the win rate of games where a card instance was present in hand (either opening or drawn), weighted by the number of copies in hand (e.g., a common value is 54.3%).
• # GNS: Number of Games Not Seen. This metric represents the copies of a card that were in the main deck but were not drawn or tutored. The value is zero if more copies are seen than were in the main deck (values range from 44 to 234,000, with a mean of 44,800).
• GNS WR: Games Not Seen Win Rate. This is the win rate in games where one or more copies of the card were in the main deck but were never seen at any point during the game, weighted by the number of copies seen (e.g., a common value is 54.1%).
• IWD: Improvement When Drawn. This is the calculated difference between the Games in Hand Win Rate and the Games Not Seen Win Rate (e.g., a common value is 0.1 percentage points).
