Well, if we're putting our best cards on here too:

Win Rate Given Available

3) Silk Road                      1.46
2) Chancellor                    1.46
1) Tournament & all Prizes   1.48

What's interesting to me is that Chancellor is the card I gain the least (9.4%), and Tournament is the card I gain the most (95.1%)!

Well, I posted them only because I was surprised that cards I thought would be at the bottom were actually at the top and vice versa.

My win rate given availability is 1.06 and I buy it more often than you (0.36).
I'm not a very good player so maybe I buy it too often, but I think you simply underrate this card.

It's more than likely that I underrate it and I could completely understand the statistic if I was frequently getting beaten by players using it (as I am with Horn of Plenty and Outpost) but I honestly don't recall ever losing a game where my opponent bought Chancellor.  I mean I'm sure it has happened at some point just through law of averages, but certainly it's a freak occurance.

My worst 3:
Upgrade. This was a slight surprise, but I was pretty bad with this early on (not that I am great with it now).
Inn. No surprise there. I just can't get this to work well for me. Probably trying to fit it into an engine when it's just not a good enough source of actions.
Cutpurse. I don't know. I actually thought I was okay at figuring out when this was a good open. Maybe not.

Best 3:
Governor! I like this card and think I am pretty good with it.
IGG. I really like the nuances of the IGG rush.
Native Village. No idea. Best I can think of is from playing NV/Bridge well? I actually think I ignore this more than I should.

My worst 3:

Forge at 0.69. Probably because I don't know how to use it and so don't buy it. Then people smoke me by trashing tonnes of stuff for a Colony/Province.

Village at 0.70. I have no idea why I suck with this. For me the Villages are distributed throughout the list with Mining Village being my best.

Pirate Ship at 0.76. Probably because I buy it more than I should. Mostly when I went through a phase of liking it though.


My Best 3:

Fortune Teller at 1.50. This shot up yesterday because I used it effectively. I think that I really know when to buy this card and so am able to use it against my opponents. (Although, I don't buy it very often).

Governor at 1.46. I like this card and play it better than a lot of others at my level.

Third is a three-way tie between Merchant Ship, Smugglers and King's Court at 1.38. (Although, King's Court has a little less uncertainty than the other two). Merchant Ship I like to buy and take it more than others do which works to my advantage. Smugglers I think is up here because I don't fall for it as much as others do. I don't understand why King's Court is up here though. I have had poor experiences doing King's Court chains (Think KC apprentice and KC upgrade. :P). Although, I think players at my level buy it more often than they should in Province games.

If the various villages are pretty evenly distributed, I bet that's probably just luck of the draw. There's a lot of villages which play similarly enough, and just by luck some of them would end up high and some would end up low. Especially since it's vanilla village...

Yeah, the distribution's fairly even.

My worst card is cellar at .76.  I wonder why I have such a high number of cards below 1.  Perhaps because I have ~650 games?  I'm much better with some cards vs others?

Interestingly enough City is also down there, and I have methods of rationality in this round of Isodom, although I suspect this is because of my getting stomped with it once, then thinking it was the card to end all cards, then finally understanding.  I don't understand cellar though.

Although I don't understand why people dislike Tactician and Mining Village, they're my #2 and #3 best cards at 1.60 and 1.52 respectively.

My worst card, according to CouncilRoom, is Thief.  My best 5 are the Prizes, oddly enough.

Not accounting for Hinterlands cards, since I just got back to Iso this month after having stopped playing here some time before Hinterlands came out, my worst card is :
Salvager ? I have a horrible Win Rate with and an accordingly bad effect with, so I guess I'm overrating it a lot. I'll think about that next time I want to buy it...

My best card is Militia. I always liked the card and I think it's slightly underrated, but that's still somewhat surprising to me.
