How this data works

Vintage numbers on this page come from public MTGO Challenge and League decklists. The window is the last 30 days (755 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.
