Card Tier List Criteria

	The best cards are in the S tier, which are cards that will always be impactful whenever they are played. These are cards that must always be answered or else they will take over a game.
	A Tier cards are cards that are also powerful but do not necessarily centralize a game when they are on the field.
	B Tier cards are less impactful but are still worth using in a deck.
	C Tier cards are good but may have better alternatives available.
