Slay the Spire 2 Silent card tier list

This sts2 Silent tier list covers all 80 Silent cards you can draft; the number under each card is the win rate of runs that picked it.

How tiers work: each card's win rate (runs where it was picked and won) is pulled toward the character's average by 500 runs, then score = 0.7 × win-rate z-score + 0.3 × pick-rate z-score, compared only with the same character's cards. S ≥ 1.0, A ≥ 0.35, B ≥ −0.35, C ≥ −1.0, D below. Cards with fewer than 300 runs are not ranked. Details.
