Meta movers
How archetypes' share of tournament decks changed across two equal 64-day windows: 24 Jul – 25 Sep 2026, in GD05, against the 64 days immediately before it, 21 May – 23 Jul 2026, in GD04. Movement is in percentage points (pp) — the difference between two shares, not a percent change.
New to this comparison: no decks recorded over 21 May – 23 Jul 2026, in GD04, 117 decks over 24 Jul – 25 Sep 2026, in GD05 — 14.6% of tournament decks.

Counts are tournament decklists only — 800 decks in the current window, 637 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.
21 other archetypes are not shown: too few tournament decks in one of the two windows to compare — the floor is 8 decks.
