    Metagame Diversity
    N/A (Weight: 20%)
    N/A

    Composite of deck and card pool diversity (0 = min. diversity, 100 = max. diversity).

    Monthly Event Count
    N/A (Weight: 15%)
    N/A

    AI Health Impact Analysis

    The extensive bans aim to address the dominance of specific archetypes and problematic cards, indicating a strong effort to increase metagame diversity and reduce early-game pressure. By targeting key cards across multiple strategies, these changes suggest a significant shake-up and a potential for a healthier, more balanced Standard environment.
