N/A
Overall health index cannot be calculated due to missing component data.
Note: One or more underlying data components are missing, preventing calculation of some health factors and the overall index.
Index Components:
Measures stability vs. a dynamic baseline and an ideal balance. (0=max deviation, 100=perfect stability)
Composite of deck and card pool diversity (0 = min. diversity, 100 = max. diversity).
Measures the trend in event participation. High scores reflect stability or growth, while low scores indicate a decline.
Measures the trend in player engagement. High scores reflect stability or growth, while low scores indicate a decline.
How strongly few decks dominate (0 = max. dominance, 100 = max. diversity of top decks). N/A if data is insufficient.
Economic health based on card demand and affordability. This is a 50/50 simple average of the two sub-factors.
