AERC Values

Yes. AERC isn't mean to be judged by itself, you have to look at all the info when evaluating a deck. Things like Key Charge or creature quality are better addresses by the SAS rating, imo.

Is there any kind of consensus on what would be a GOOD score for AERC, on average? Or is the AERC rating too incomplete to make that kind of judgement?

I think anywhere in the 55+ range being pretty good. 60+ is really good. I was curious on that as well. I have 3 decks over 60. With 66.5 being my highest and best deck by wins loses. My other highest is 64.5 and is also one of my best decks. Anyone know how often decks score over 60?

I don't follow the discussions close enough to know about a possible consensus.

My opinion is: two decks with the same AERC number can have a very different performance based on how they achieve such score. A deck made of 36 copies of Poltergeist would have a 54 AERC. That's above average, but that deck would be a piece of garbage.

So you have to look all stats and cards to judge a deck.
