While the number of finishes doesn’t account for all the purposes of decks moving, it can serve as a backbone to various arguments for moving a deck up or down the rankings. These Regional Championships feed into the largest events on the upcoming Organize Play calendar and of course will count towards our data for this week.Įach of these finishes are called qualified finishes and are part of how we determine which decks have seen success over the past weekend. We also had the first batch of Regional Championships this weekend including Dreamhack Atlanta for the United States, Sofia, Bulgaria for Europe, and City Class Games in Brazil. For the Challenges, we are looking at all decks that earned the same number of points as the player in 16 th in each event and for the Preliminary events we are looking at all 4-0 and 3-1 decks.

So, let’s break down the various events we are drawing data from this week! Events This metagame breakdown article will accompany that tier list each Wednesday and will go over the top decks, why they have seen increases, decreases, or stagnation in play, and cover what stands out for why these decks are contenders in the metagame.
