A month ago, our May breakdown showed a format with one clear king and a pile of pretenders: Stiflenought won 7 of 12 Challenges while the enchantment decks were everywhere and converting nothing. June rewrote the second half of that story. Magic Online ran 13 Premodern Challenges this month, and while the most-played deck didn’t change, the deck winning tournaments did.
We pulled the data straight from mtgo.com/decklists, classified all 416 published decklists by archetype, and aggregated everything into one sortable table. Click any column header to re-sort, filter by deck style, or search for your pet deck.

What changed since May
Stiflenought is still the most-played deck — and it grew. Across the 13 Challenges it put up 89 decklists (21.4% of the field), up from 18.2% in May. The Phyrexian Dreadnought + Stifle engine remains the gravitational center of the format, and a 56.9% aggregate match win rate on more than a fifth of the field is exactly what a true pillar looks like. But notice the trophy count: 3 event wins, down from 7. More people are playing it, and more people are beating it.
Enchantress finally broke through. This is the headline of June. After going 0-for-12 on event wins in May, Enchantress won 4 of the 13 Challenges this month — more than any other deck — on the back of the format’s best win rate among popular decks (62.7%) and a clear #2 in raw numbers (48 copies, 11.5%). The Argothian Enchantress card-advantage engine into Solitary Confinement turns out to be brutally well-positioned against a field that’s leaning on the Dreadnought combo. If you sleeved up Enchantress expecting another month of near-misses, June paid you back.
Burn woke up. In May it was the one popular deck stuck below 50%. In June it climbed to 33 copies (7.9%), a 55.4% win rate, and 3 event wins — tied with Stiflenought for second-most trophies. As the field tilted toward slower enchantment and control mirrors, the fastest clock in the room started cashing in. The honest barometer of the format is suddenly one of its best-performing decks.
Landstill is the new control of record. It’s up to 34 copies (8.2%), the #3 deck by volume, and it grabbed a trophy of its own (June 23). Standstill plus a manland win condition is the patient answer to a combo-saturated top tables.
Goblins shows up, but doesn’t close. 22 copies (5.3%) and a respectable 56.4% match rate, but zero event wins this month — the Goblin Lackey aggro plan keeps making Day 2 and stalling in the elimination rounds against the format’s pile of lifegain and sweepers.
The dark horses and the deep field
Oath of Druids is still punching above its weight. Just 12 copies (2.9%), but 2 event wins and the single best win rate in the data (64.7%). When the metagame greeds out on combo and clunky removal, Oath’s fast, free threat keeps converting — same story as May, smaller sample, even sharper results.
Dream Halls is a real combo presence now. The Dream Halls deck jumped to 18 copies (4.3%) — a genuine slice of the field rather than a one-off brew. It hasn’t won an event yet, but a free-spells combo deck at 4%+ is the kind of thing that quietly taxes everyone’s sideboard.
Survival is alive, just smaller. RG Survival Madness still fields a dozen copies (2.9%) and a near-even record — the green-red madness aggro shell that happens to run Survival of the Fittest. It’s a deck we’re actively writing a full guide for; if you play it, we’d love your sideboard notes.
The table runs 30 distinct archetypes in all — Moneyball Black, GAT, Terravore, The Rock, Iggy Pop and the long tail down to one-off appearances. Expand the event-by-event results to see every Challenge’s champion and jump straight to the full decklists on MTGO.
How this data was collected
Every Premodern Challenge on Magic Online publishes the decklist of any player who finished with a winning record. We gathered all 13 Challenges held between June 2 and June 23, 2026, parsed each event’s full results, and sorted every deck into an archetype based on its signature cards.
Two things to keep in mind when reading the win rates:
- Survivorship bias is baked in. MTGO only publishes the decklists of players who went positive, so every archetype’s aggregate match win rate skews above 50%. The numbers are best used to compare decks against each other, not as absolute win probabilities.
- Archetypes are auto-classified. Decks are sorted by their signature cards — a deck with Phyrexian Dreadnought is “Stiflenought,” and so on. Survival of the Fittest decks are split by shell because they play so differently. Edge-case brews are grouped by their most-defining card.
