    Rite of Flames is a better card than Cabal Ritual. Nice work Bryant.

    :D

    So you found the hidden meaning of the article then? If this is the case, why does TCG player still have them?

    I really appreciate you running data. What the data really say though is that you won more % of games playing TES than Brandon did playing ANT.
    Abf that both of your win-percentages are very impressive.

    I believe it says a lot more than that. But, thanks.

    The only real difference I see is that TES has what appears to be a statistically significant advantage against Chalice decks, TES 58% match win vs ANT 46%. Mulligan seems slightly significant with TES 4% over ANT. TES's games were against a slightly favored field (non-Blue and Rogue) and won 3% more die rolls, and the deck wins about the same games when on the play. ANT lost the majority of die rolls and plays worse overall on the draw, but I didn't look how to see those draw games were broken down. It won on the draw more against blue and non-blue but had horrendous Chalice draw %.

    With the variation in the game and data I'd put significance around 3-5%.

    TES is much more favored to win in paper than ANT, 75% in paper TES vs 62% in paper ANT. Overall wins were roughly the same, 64% overall TES - 62% overall ANT.

    So if you're playing in paper in a meta with Chalice and have loaded dice, play TES.

    Still an impressive amount of data, and interesting to see how reliant ANT is on Past in Flames.

    I'm not saying it's the easiest deck to play, but the plan is so linear that I could probably get white girl wasted and still beat people with the deck.

    I don't know how you found that TES's games were against a slightly more favored field. If you look at games versus blue decks and non-blue decks, the percentages there are almost the same.

    Mind explaining?
