About these cards
These cards come from 12 complete decklists of Ambessa, Matriarch of War. A card's play rate is how many of those decks run it, so the cards near the top are the core of the deck and the ones further down are the choices players disagree on.
Green and red win rates point to the cards worth a closer look. Green means decks with the card won clearly more often than Ambessa decks without it, red means they won clearly less. Small differences stay grey, so a few lucky matches never paint a card green. A card in nearly every list has too few decks without it to compare.
