Every number on this page comes from 87,886 decklists recorded across 1000 competitive events, 4 March 2026 to 29 September 2026. No list is ever excluded for being old.
Instead, results decay exponentially with a 35-day half-life, so a deck people stopped playing slides out of the rankings on its own, and a newly released archetype enters as its sample matures rather than spiking on day-one hype.
Win rate is shrunk toward the global mean with a prior of 150 decayed games. That is why a deck with three recorded matches does not appear at 100%: until an archetype has a real sample, its rate stays close to the field average.
