Modern tier list

How this data works

Modern numbers on this page come from public MTGO Challenge and League decklists. The window is the last 30 days (2,873 lists). The page rebuilds every 6 hours. Meta share is a strategy's share of those Challenge and League decks. Win % is the Challenge match win rate: wins divided by wins plus losses, shown from 30 Challenge matches. Tiers score Challenge results, League 5-0s, and Challenge meta share separately. More detail is in the FAQ.
