Tier C — rogue — needs a dedicated pilot, can reach top 32-64

the field: 1% share, 43% win over 61 decks. A C call is not something these numbers can settle.

One creator's opinion, published 2026-09-06. Not a measurement, and not ours.

Make the Leader too big to attack into, and win the damage race from behind a wall of power.

What it does well
  • The new mono-colour buff plus the 9-cost makes an unusually tanky Leader.
Where it struggles
  • A changed play pattern on a Leader nobody has results with yet.

What the field runs

over 61 decklists we hold

Copies are averaged over the decks that run the card, not over every deck on this Leader — a card in 40% of lists at four copies is a four-of that gets cut, not a 1.6-of.
