Simeon has been keeping records of the top 8 decks, and as a result has come up with a fairly comprehensive breakdown of how the top 8s have been shaping up over the last few weeks. I’ve also added a total bar to the right, so that you can see which are the dominant decks as the season continues. 4pts are awarded for a win, 3pts for a finals finish, 2 for a semis, and 1 for a quaters.
Hopefully, with another week of results we can start turning this data into something that makes more sense of where the format is and where it is going.
