The Standard format continues to evolve with both established archetypes and emerging strategies finding success. This snapshot combines data on the most played cards with the top-performing deck archetypes to give you a comprehensive view of what to expect in competitive play.
Top Performing Archetypes
Cori-Steel Cutter continues to gain in meta share now at 35% of the winning decks. Remember our stats are based on top 8 finishes or 5-0 League wins which means that we are representing the winning decks not all the decks in our meta percentages. Omniscience has risen in the meta because it's combo nature allows it to win against Izzet forcing Izzet to pack spell pierce to stop the combo. Dimir has a good matchup against Izzet so it continues to gain. Remember with rotation Izzet sees very little impact while Omni & Dimir see some impact.
Metagame Insights
The current Standard format is primarily defined by these archetypes, with Izzet Prowsess holding the largest share at 38.0%. This indicates a diverse metagame where various strategies can find success.
Most Common Main Deck Cards
Stock up continues it's dominance in the meta, used by the almost any deck with blue including Izzet. It's a key piece that allows Izzet to go beyond the explosive starts. Soulstone sanctuary continues in the second spot but has been going down in price a good time to buy.
