Matchups ordered by sample size. The range is a 95% Wilson interval, which prevents tiny samples from looking more certain than they are.
Expansion sets and booster packs that supply Magcargo’s core Pokémon (used in at least half of tracked decklists).
Daily snapshots preserve trends; card roles come from inclusion rates; matchup uncertainty is shown explicitly; player identities and private ownership are never stored.
