How to read these numbers

The percentage is the win rate of decks running both cards over the last seven days. Delta is the same number measured against Guards's own win rate without that partner, so it says what the pairing adds. Read it as a record of which decks are winning, not as proof that one card causes the other to work: evolutions sit high on most of these lists partly because the accounts that own them win more anyway.
