Counts are tournament decklists only — 1117 decks in the current window, 1549 decks in the previous one — so these shares can differ slightly from the tier list above, which also counts public player decks. This measures how many lists were recorded, not how they placed and not a win rate. An archetype is listed only if it has at least 8 decks in the current window, and either at least 8 decks in the previous window or none at all: a handful of decks moves too easily to mean anything.
