| S — BASE: Amazing use case, incredible in every deck POTENTIAL: A card which single handedly defines and carries its archetype deck | C — BASE: decent card, but pick these only for synergy POTENTIAL: even in its archetype, this card is only decent | BASE: rates the base power level of a card in an “average” deck. POTENTIAL: rates how good/necessary the card is in it’s specific archetype deck, which I will mention in the comments, I only fill in this grade if it is significant | ||
| A — BASE: great general use, strong in almost all decks POTENTIAL: Very strong or important/key card for the archetype | D — BASE: bad card, only slightly better than strike/defend POTENTIAL: potential will probably never go this low | Upgrade priority is ranked from 1-5, and ranks how good the upgrade is, not how good the card is. | ||
| B — BASE: good general use cards, overall solid “deck filler” POTENTIAL: A good/synergistic card in the archetype deck | F: Even worse than strike/defend AVOID THESE | Silent Archetypes: poison, machine gun, block control, discard, every deck Ironclad Archetypes: Strength, block control, exhaust, machine gun, every deck | ||
