Over 10,000 game logs have been collected to answer some of Ark Nova's biggest questions. Which card has the highest win rate? Which card is discarded 95% of the time from opening hands? How much Elo, on average, does a player gain by getting a University at 5CP??
Joining me today are tobiko11 and Propaganda Panda! This video would not have been possible without both of them, so huge thank you.

ABOUT THE STATS:
~10,000 game logs.
All played in 2025.
Both players 300+ Elo on BGA.
No forfeits / concedes.
What do all the +1.3 or -0.4 numbers mean?
This is the average Elo gain or loss.
e.g. when a player upgrades Cards as their first action upgrade, they will lose 0.54 Elo on average.
