Meta Overview

Top cut: each tournament's actual cut (top 8 at a local, top 32, top 128 at a DLC…), read from its rounds. Without round data we assume a top 8; a swiss-only event has no top cut.

Score = the archetype's share of top cut spots × its performance index. The share measures how present it is at the top; the index tells whether it gets there more or less often than average.

Performance index = the archetype's conversion (top cuts ÷ decks played) ÷ the average conversion of all decks. ×1 = average, ×1.5 = converts 50% more often. To avoid overrating small samples, each archetype gets 10 phantom decks at the average conversion: a deck seen once doesn't read as a 100% converter.

Example: two archetypes with 10% of top cuts each. The first is widely played and converts below average (×0.7): score 7, tier A. The second is played less but converts well (×1.6): score 16, tier S.

Only archetypes with at least one top cut over the selected period, set and format show up, the first 6 of each tier, the rest behind “View more”. Big events weigh more than small ones, since they hand out more top cut spots.
