The staple ladder
The cards the top archetypes share — buy from the top and they hold their value across decks.
Meta movers
How archetypes' share of tournament decks changed across two equal 30-day windows: 27 Aug – 25 Sep 2026, against the 30 days immediately before it, 28 Jul – 26 Aug 2026. Movement is in percentage points (pp) — the difference between two shares, not a percent change.
No archetype has enough tournament decks in these windows to compare — the floor is 8 decks in the current window.
Counts are tournament decklists only — 31 decks in the current window, 30 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.
12 other archetypes are not shown: too few tournament decks in one of the two windows to compare — the floor is 8 decks.
