The Meta Explorer has been refreshed against the last thirty days of results on TC Decks. Here is what the format looks like now.
The standings
Share is each archetype’s points as a percentage of all 5,933 points recorded across the 30 archetypes we track. Points come from Top 8 finishes at events with 16 or more players, a round played is a point, with bonuses for placing.
| # | Archetype | Points | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Stiflenought | 714 | 12.0% |
| 2 | Sligh | 527 | 8.9% |
| 3 | Enchantress | 527 | 8.9% |
| 4 | Goblins | 469 | 7.9% |
| 5 | Parallax Replenish | 449 | 7.6% |
| 6 | Landstill | 434 | 7.3% |
| 7 | Mono Black | 409 | 6.9% |
| 8 | Terrageddon | 393 | 6.6% |
| 9 | Oath Ponza | 354 | 6.0% |
| 10 | Stasis | 259 | 4.4% |
The format is top-heavy
Those nine decks are 72% of everything winning. Stiflenought alone is 12%, more than one deck in eight, and has held the top slot through every refresh we have run.
If you are building a gauntlet, the nine above are it. Everything from Stasis down is a single-digit share, and the tail past twentieth place is thin enough that a single good weekend moves an archetype several places.
What moved
Sligh and Enchantress swapped second and third; they finished this window on identical point totals, so treat that order as a coin flip rather than a trend. Further down, The Rock climbed three places to twelfth and Elves three to thirteenth, while Ponza slid three to seventeenth.
One caveat worth stating plainly: this is a fresh thirty-day window, not a continuation of the previous one, so raw point totals are not comparable between snapshots. Rank movement is the honest signal here, and small movements in the tail are noise.
Decks winning without a guide
Four archetypes placed inside the TC Decks top thirty-five without a deck guide on the site: Pit Rack, Survival Tradewind, Threshold and Survival Recurring.
If you play one of them, that is a gap you are better placed to fill than we are. The same goes for sideboard plans, nine of the top ten archetypes above still have no sideboard guide, including Stiflenought at the top of the format.
Write one and it goes live with your name on it.
