I’m very happy to see the stats on gumeta.web.app reflect real-life trends and players' DPE routines! I marked New Year’s Eve on the screenshot and it’s fascinating to observe the steady activity. Despite formats being gone, the player base and games played have stayed constant over the last few weeks, with everyone switching to constructed mode.

But the real question remains: "Wen formats?!" : )

Meta Overview: Diamond - Mythic

I’ll focus on ranks 9-12, diving into the meta's nuances and how players are adapting over time. The current meta is quite balanced, with strong archetypes for every domain. War and Death remain standout picks, offering beginner-friendly decks that are easy to pilot and effective for climbing the ranks. Most of the top decks are quite fast!

1. War

War continues to be the most popular domain, maintaining its dominance across the meta. With archetypes that are both powerful and consistent, it’s a top choice for many players.

• Aggro:

  • Win Rate: ~50%
  • Quick and versatile, just use Chieftain's Fury and Rally the Band and you are good: )

• Carvings:

  • Win Rate: ~61%
  • I'd say most OP in the current meta.

2. Nature

• Control Nature:

  • Win Rate: ~52%
  • A reliable choice with answers to most threats, though it can be overwhelmed by fast aggro decks.

• Amazons:

  • Win Rate: ~42%
  • A pure aggro archetype that struggles without the full set of meta cards. Board presence is critical for success. Its performance heavily depends on the specific deck and matchup.

3. Death

• Dragons:

  • Win Rate: ~42%
  • Consistently strong but vulnerable to void hate and sustained Zoo pressure.

• Dread:

  • Win Rate: ~59%
  • A solid performer capable of countering slower strategies.

• Anubians:

  • Win Rate: ~70%
  • An00bs are back! high damage output and efficiency against control decks.

4. Magic

• Ramp:

  • Win Rate: ~46%
  • Effective at high ranks but requires skill and meta knowledge to shine. Ramp is struggling to find its footing due to the rise of counter-meta archetypes like Death Dragons.

• Atlanteans:

  • Win Rate: ~54%
  • Still a viable archetype, though it struggles against aggressive decks like Amazons.

• LITD:

  • Win Rate: ~49%
  • A balanced deck with some niche uses in the current meta.

5. Deception

Deception has seen a decline in popularity after recent changes but remains viable with proper piloting.

• Guild Deception:

  • Win Rate: ~44%
  • A decent archetype, though it struggles against faster opponents.

• Mayday:

  • Win Rate: ~44%
  • Hard to master but rewarding in skilled hands, also depends on matchup.

6. Light

• Heal Light:

  • Win Rate: ~54%
  • ....

• Aggro Light:

  • Win Rate: ~59%
  • Looks like still effective!
