The read

Anti-horde sits in the top 3%, spread across the list; resilience and objective control are in the bottom 5%.

«the top 3%» means above roughly 97% of sampled reference list shapes for that capability — a comparison, never win odds.

Shapevs the p50 ring

The shape, not the verdict. Area is not a score — two lists with the same area can play nothing alike. The bars beside it are the reading that counts, and each spoke is this list's percentile under baseline assumptions.

Anti-horde is the clearest answer here; Objective control is the pressure point to plan around.

Good — The list has several independent ways to meet this condition.

A Grievous Blow
Bring It Down
No Prisoners

Possible — The list can attempt this, but it depends on positioning or a key unit.

Burden Of Trust
Cleanse
Display Of Might
Engage On All Fronts
Overwhelming Force
Plunder
Secure No Man's Land

Difficult — This condition is hard to support with the current list shape.

A Tempting Target
Assassination
Beacon
Behind Enemy Lines

Outflank

Fit is about list shape, not about what you will draw. A «difficult» card is still scorable — it just needs the game to go your way.
