Across 11 recorded runs, decks running it win 36.4% of the time, comfortably clear of the 13.9% average, by 22.4%. It’s a more selective pick, turning up in just 0.1% of decks that could run it. Across 192 recorded offers it is picked 1.6% of the time (3 runs took it, 179 passed), which is still short of the sample needed to publish a pick-versus-skip win rate. On average it shows up 1.4 times in the decks that take it.

At 1 energy, it’s upgraded in 26.7% of runs and usually joins the deck around floor 12.

Upgraded, it gains +4 Block, which is why so many decks invest a rest-site upgrade in it. That’s 4 wins, 7 deaths, and 0 abandoned runs with it in the deck. The encounter that most often ends a run carrying it is Aeonglass Boss, which closes out 36.4% of its appearances. Read on for Intercept’s complete synergy, class, and threat breakdown to decide whether it earns a slot in your Colorless run.

Pick or Skip: Intercept

Intercept is taken in 1.6% of its 192 recorded offers, but with 3 runs picking it and 179 passing, neither side has enough decided runs for a win rate yet.

Taken 3 times out of 192 offers.

A win rate is only shown once that side clears the sample floor. Below it you get the run counts and nothing else — a 0% here would be a reporting artefact, not a result.

Pick rate when offered counts offers, not runs: out of every time the game put this in front of a player, how often it was taken. It is not the same number as the share of runs that end up containing it.

Pick lift is the sample-adjusted gap between runs that took the option and runs that passed on it. It is the fair way to rank choices, because raw win rates put the smallest samples on top.

When to Pick Up Intercept
