Being a nature one-trick, I have been looking and analyzing all the nature cards; thus, this is a breakdown of the nature cards in the core set. I broke them down by play rate, win rate, and price. The prices are for meteorite shine cards at its lowest price. I will be posting the other sets (Genesis, Trial, and Divine Order) in the next few days. Also, look forward to these posts at the end of each month as they will help check for trends and changes of meta to build decks or sell your cards. Please note all values are of the day of writing and are subject to change. For the people who like it in a spreadsheet format, I have left a google sheets link at the end of the post.
Our sweet broccolini is doing very well for himself this month, boasting a 53% play rate in nature decks and winning 55% of those games. The price of this beast veggie naturally took a healthy turn sitting at $3.56.
It must be lonely as she is the only amazon on this list; her play rate is quite lonely too, as it's at 11.40%, although it has a respectable 53% win rate. The card sells at $0.44, which is unsurprising, looking at its play rate.
Pack stalk is not stalking anything at this point; it has one of the worst play rates at 5.90% and takes the prize for the worst win rate out of all the nature core cards at 50%. The misery for this card doesn't end there; it also takes the award for the lowest cost card at $0.30.
This card is sitting at the middle of the pack with a play rate of 25.80% and a win rate of 51.60%. The buying price for this card is $0.58 (for a bland card, I give boring explanations).
Out Big, Black Kitty is a monster; it's the highest played card in the set with a whopping 61.70% and 54.90% win rate. Yes, it seems like this kitty is bearing the core nature cards torch. Also, being a common core card has an exceeding market value of $1.51.
The nature spell that will win you the game at turn two due to how tilting it is, the tilt has pushed this card to the second-highest play rate at 59.80%. The win rate of this card is also on the higher spectrum with 54.70%. In my opinion, the card's price does not equal its value at $0.95.
The Faeflame blade has been cutting through ranked like a knife through butter. Although it has a 12.70% play rate, it sits at the win rate of 56.80%, which is the highest of all nature cards in this set. The price of the card also demands its worth at $10.30.
The training regime for this month seems to be unseen as its play rate is at an abysmal 16.50%, with a win rate of 51%. Due to its rarity factor, the card is overvalued at $1.59.
This card is only rooting itself not to be seen on nature decks. Maybe it's because it's winter the roots are rotting at a 17.50% play rate. On the other hand, its win rate is on the higher end at 55.90%. Being both a common card and underplayed, the value of this card sits at $0.63.
It's no wonder this arrow is a raging mess as its play rate is only at 7.70%, and its win rate is 53.20% due to its situational play in decks. The value seems to correlate with the above as it sits at $0.79.
This lightning has stricken its way to a 46.00% play rate. In my opinion, the lower play rate is definitely due to its RNG factor and better board clear cards such as "The Hunt" and "Canopy Brrage" existing for nature players. It has a decent win rate at 54.90% and holds the highest market value among rare cards in this set at $6.26.
My favorite furry monster is so situational in decks that it makes me sad, and it shows in his play rate at 13.40%. He may be unseen, but he kills with a 54.40% win rate when he bites. This card also demands the highest market value in this set at $38.66.
As with the card above, another situational legendary, fits in zoo decks mainly; thus, it has an 11.30% play rate and a 53.30%winrate. Due to its Legendary status, it commands a price of $26.73.
The card that keeps on giving has made its way to being a staple in many nature decks due to its early game board control factor giving it a 50.00% play rate and 54.10% win rate. This being a core in many nature decks, it is undervalued in my opinion and sits at $0.80.
Due to the Big Beast variation of nature decks being overgrown, the card has propelled its play rate to 43.70% and bolstered its win rate to 55.40% (the second-highest win rate). Card value sits at $1.00.
Another fantastic card for Zoo Deck nature variants, although due to big beast popularity and the card being an epic, the play rate of this card has taken a downturn at 19.80%, although holding on to a reasonable win rate at 54.10%. Even though it isn't played much, its value shows on the market, sitting at $13.90.
Another card you can slot into the Big Beast deck, therefore it sits at a 20.10% play rate and unsurprisingly a higher win rate at 54.80%. The card's worth is $0.71 this month.
Although the moon deer (Celestial Stag) is outshining this scarecrow tree, it is a solid option for card draws; thus, it has taken a dip in play rate at 27.50%. However, its win rate is staying stable at 53.60%, and as mentioned above, being a secondary card draw option, the value has taken a dip being $0.79.
This minotaur is not looking too hot as it has a play rate of 13.50% and a win rate of 53.20%. There are better options for five mana cost cards or nature decks, shown here. As it is an epic card, its price is $4.15.
Another situational card prevalent in Zoo decks has a low play rate at 13.40%; the win rate lags behind for a nature card at 52.70%. It sells for $1.51.
This onslaught is confusing as this card does not belong in this set; there is only one amazon creature, and to unlock the others, you will need cards from Genesis, Trial, or Divine order. And it shows as it is the lowest played card in this set at 4.40% with a win rate of 50.10% Second lowest win rate). It reflects this fact further, with its price being $0.38.
The board clear card all nature players run other than canopy barrage, mid to late game this card can turn the tide and players are quick to catch on to it with a play rate of 50.10% and a win rate of 54.80%. The card is undervalued in the market, sitting at $0.91.
Another big beast slot in, and players seem to be moving away from this giant as play rates have dipped to 38.70%, although due to the deck it's most prevalent in, it has a win rate of 54.40%. The price also has taken a turn to the worst at $0.66.
With many other low mana card draw options for nature players, this card has taken a backseat with a play rate of 4.60%(second lowest play rate) and has a win rate of 51.60%. The price of this card doesn't do it justice as it is $0.33.
Our loving elephant is only seen in newbie decks as it is a seven mana cost beast; therefore, it only has a play rate of 14.20%, with a win rate on the lower side for a nature deck at 52.10%. For a rare card, it has a meager price at $0.81.
This card is a very average finisher; therefore, people tend to stay away from adding him to their decks, and it's evident with an 8.20% play rate and a low win rate of 51.90%. For an epic card, it has an underwhelming sale value of $3.55.
