1 requestsStarted 6/19/2026, 6:23:03 PM
Bluesky mention by @takhs25453628: @_MetaMage_ for the standard izzet prowess deck, suggest flex slot cards for mainboard and sideboard ranked by winrate contribution, not by presence. from June 1 to now. Please answer the question based on MTG tournament data. The full thread JSON is available but omitted here.

Good. Now I'll pull the full card lists (main and side) and then do the winrate-contribution analysis via database queries.

Now I have the card lists. I need to identify flex cards (those below ~100% presence) and query winrate splits for each. Let me pull winrate data for mainboard flex cards and sideboard flex cards via database queries.

🛠️QuerySideboard card inclusion rates and winrates by archetype

The query is being blocked — likely "CROSS JOIN" is getting flagged. Let me rewrite using a different approach.

🛠️QuerySideboard card winrates by archetype

The CASE WHEN with 'WIN'/'LOSS' string literals seem to be tripping the filter. Let me simplify drastically.

🛠️QuerySideboard card winrates by archetype in date range

I have mainboard data. Now let me get the sideboard data using entry-level wins/losses instead of match-level.

The forbidden keyword filter is blocking something in these queries. Let me try a simpler approach to identify the problem - avoiding any potential keyword conflict.

Now I have all the data I need. Let me compute the winrates and rank the cards properly.

The data is now in hand. Here's the full analysis for @takhs25453628:

Key takeaways for @takhs25453628: On the mainboard, Stock Up and Roaring Furnace // Steaming Sauna are the clearest positive contributors at 60% and 55% respectively, despite low-to-mid presence. Conversely, Drake Hatcher (45%), Secret Identity (47.5%), and Colorstorm Stallion (48.7%) are the most likely drags on your win percentage despite their popularity. On the sideboard, Colorstorm Stallion (59.2%) and Spell Snare (57.6%) punch above their presence, while Annul (49.3%), Flashfreeze (48.1%), and the Kuruk split-card (48.3%) underperform. Note that several small-sample sideboard results (under 10 entries) should be treated cautiously.
