Our crawler stores every ladder battle for both players, banded by each player's own trophies. This list sums each card's wins and battles inside the 10,500 to 10,999 band over the last three complete weeks, keeps only the cards unlocked by Arena 26, and places each one relative to the sample-weighted average of this page: 2 points above is S, 2 below is D. Ladder win rates carry a card-level bias that Ranked play does not, so compare tiers within this page rather than against the Ranked lists.
