Ratings come from community-submitted runs: Codex Score grades a card's win rate when picked against the average. This is Regent as of mid-July 2026 on the main branch. The live tier list updates continuously and can slice by bracket.
[[Big Bang]] leads at a 53.8% win rate and a 68.7% pick rate, the most-drafted rare on the roster, and for once the crowd is right: draw, energy, a Star, and Forge 5 stapled to one skill is everything Regent wants. [[GUARDS!!!]] (53.7%) is its equal on a third of the picks; converting dead cards into Minion Sacrifice on demand is the character's cleanest engine.
[[Decisions, Decisions]] (52.9%) triples your best skill, and with Big Bang or GUARDS!!! in hand that line simply wins fights. [[Make It So]] (52.4%) keeps coming back in exactly the skill-dense decks Regent drafts anyway.
[[Prophesize]] gets picked 9% of the time, the lowest pick rate of any B-or-better Regent card, and still wins half its runs. Draw 6 is not flashy, but a deck full of cheap skills turns it into a full extra turn. The data says stop skipping it.
[[Bundle of Joy]], [[Dying Star]], [[Foregone Conclusion]], [[Comet]], and [[Tyranny]] hold B tier between 49 and 52%. Dying Star doubles as a Strength strip that saves act 3 elite fights. [[Largesse]] is co-op support, discount it solo.
[[Falling Star]] is the roster's biggest trap: an F tier 29.5% win rate that still gets drafted almost a third of the time it appears. [[Celestial Might]] shares the floor at 32.3% with a fraction of the picks.
Regent's relic pool is graded on the relic tier list. Relic win rates run high everywhere (collecting relics correlates with surviving), so trust the tiers over the raw percentages.
[[relic:Lunar Pastry]] tops the pool in S tier at a 67.2% win rate, end-of-turn energy that every Regent deck can spend. [[relic:Regalite]] and [[relic:Orange Dough]] join it in S: Regent creates cards constantly, so Block-per-created-card is effectively a defense engine. [[relic:Fencing Manual]] is the pool's standout common (Forge 10 every combat). The trap is [[relic:Divine Destiny]] at F tier and a 48% win rate, the only Regent relic below the baseline.
