which is better, goryo with or without quantum riddler

Let me pull the data needed to answer this — first I'll look up both cards and the Goryo's archetype overview simultaneously.

Got the archetype ID. Now let me query the database directly to compare win rates with vs. without Quantum Riddler.

Here's the breakdown for Goryo Reanimator over the last ~2 months:

Goryo's Vengeance — Quantum Riddler Split

EntriesWLDWR%
With Quantum Riddler153280282849.8%
Without Quantum Riddler3610237.5%

Verdict: With Quantum Riddler is better — but with a major caveat.

  • The data is heavily skewed: 153 out of 156 entries (98%) run Quantum Riddler. It has become an almost universal inclusion in the archetype.
  • The 3 entries without it have a tiny sample size (only 16 matches), so the 37.5% WR for that group is not statistically reliable.
  • That said, Quantum Riddler's synergy with Goryo's Vengeance is clearly well-established — the card enables discard/reanimate lines and refuels with its draw effects. The community has largely converged on running it.

Bottom line: Run Quantum Riddler. The field has spoken — nearly every competitive Goryo pilot includes it, and the data supports that choice.
