Sauron, the Dark Lord V1 B4 C2
ChrisRank C2 — the pod's own bracket: pod power 3.8/10, ahead of 35% of the pod's decks. Unlike the B-bracket (which counts Game Changers, combo cards, and tutor cards in the 99), this reads the deck's Glicko rating — ScrollVault power as the starting point plus every real result at this table — so command-zone power and sheer consistency count. It updates as games come in.

How the C-Rank is built
- Starting rating: 1770 — seeded from ScrollVault power 8.0/10. Power 5.0 starts neutral at 1500; every power point is worth ±90 rating. A stronger list starts higher — this is the knob deckbuilding turns.
- Results at this table: -300 — every game against the pod moves the rating, and beating strong decks moves it far more than beating weak ones (1v1s count half). Current rating: 1470.
- Placed on the pod's curve — the pod's decks average 1616 with a spread of ±241. This deck sits -0.60σ from the middle → C2, pod power 3.8/10, ahead of 35% of the pod's decks.
To climb: tune the list (raises the seed and future power) and take games off the decks above you — wins against the top of the board are worth the most. The rank is relative, so it also moves when the rest of the pod gets stronger or weaker.

Versions
Mark each iteration: an Update is a minor tweak — it folds into the version below it on the combined board and shares its continuous rating. A Version is a drastic rebuild — its own deck, rated separately.
