How is this tier list ranked?

By how much of the field each deck is, counted from public decklists in online tournaments of 32 or more players: S at 8% or more, A at 4%, B at 2%, C from 1.5%. Games won is shown beside each deck; nothing is moved up or down by hand.

Why is a deck with a high win rate in a low tier?

Tiers measure how often a deck is played, which is what you will face in a queue. A deck few people play can post a high win rate on a small sample; the games behind each figure are on its deck page.

How often is the tier list updated?

The tracked window starts the day the current set came out, so it resets with every set. This list covers September 30, 2026 to October 14, 2026.
