The Genesis set is interesting this month as there are cards that have not been played at all; enter "Dense Fog" while also having cards that have not been played in mythic. It is a welcome change as it shows that the game is getting competitive, and there is no room for useless cards. So without further ado, I present to you the Genesis set breakdown for March.
Primal Guidance
There has been an uptick in play rate from the prior months although, it is most likely due to the growth of the player base. If and when amazon decks take off, it could be used as a reliable removal, which is yet to be seen.
All
- Play Rate - 1.10%
- Win Rate - 51.40%
- Games played - 20,154
Mythic
- Play Rate - 2.10%
- Win Rate - 47.50%
- Games played - 5,527
Price - $2.06
Simple Satyr
Unlike the previous card, the simple satyr has been in stagnation. It could slot into a control deck in the of chance, but better one costs being available, it's hard to see any significant playtime.
All
- Play Rate - 0.30%
- Win Rate - 48.90%
- Games played - 5,497
Mythic
- Play Rate - 0.10%
- Win Rate - 42.00%
- Games played - 150

Underbrush Boar
The undisputed King of this set being the most played card in all ranks this month. It is still holding strong and running amuck in the arena. I am not a financial analyst but the price has significantly reduced from previous months.
All
- Play Rate - 6.60%
- Win Rate - 56.40%
- Games played - 116,789
Mythic
- Play Rate - 24.90%
- Win Rate - 55.40%
- Games played - 65,465
Price - $100.62
Gloam Druid
This druid has seen better days; both play and win rates have taken a toll in the past few months. Again, this could be chalked up to a newer player base and the card having a steep price.
All
- Play Rate - 0.60%
- Win Rate - 56.10%
- Games played - 10,927
Mythic
- Play Rate - 1.80%
- Win Rate - 53.50%
- Games played - 4,763
Price - $66.76
Compost Charm
This charm is a value card when it comes to nature control decks. And it's shown when looking at mythic play. Due to the fast-paced meta and control decks falling out of favor, the play rate has slightly dropped.
All
- Play Rate - 0.70%
- Win Rate - 52.80%
- Games played - 12,820
Mythic

Mark of the Warden
This card has lost its value, yet agian it could be slotted into aggro decks. Although with guerilla training exsiting, this card has taken a back seat this month.

- Win Rate - 39.20%
- Games played - 288

Thresher Bug
Only seen in low-tier play, this bug is having a hard time as there are better two-cost options for players. The only way I see it coming back is if we have aggro zoo variations; even then, it has a low chance of getting into the deck.
