(here is the same data but with a wider X axis, for visual clarity. might be weird on a phone? but you can clearly see that the last 10 years have been notably better than the previous 30)

A <1% pop vote delta almost caused us to abandon the EC in the sixties

Here's the thing: how would you make a card that any G or W deck could use, under current color rules?
