What it does

FAQ

Where does the data come from?

Decklists come from Magic Online's public decklist pages and from melee.gg. Card data (names, sets, legalities, Arena availability) comes from MTGJSON, and card images come from Scryfall. See Credits below.

How often is it updated?

Magic Online results and the event calendar refresh automatically throughout the day as new events are posted. Melee (paper / in-person) events are added as they complete.

How are archetypes decided?

Every deck is matched against a set of hand-maintained, per-format rules - the key cards that define each archetype. A deck that doesn't match a known archetype falls back to its color identity and is left out of the analytics until it's classified, so the numbers stay meaningful.

Why is a card shown as not on Arena?

A card counts as "on Arena" if it has an Arena printing, is a conjure/spellbook target, lives in an always-on set, or is in the Arena Powered Cube. Paper-only cards (and intentionally excluded ones) are marked unavailable. Standard is assumed fully on Arena, so it's skipped.

Spot something wrong or missing - a mislabeled archetype, a card that should (or shouldn't) be on Arena, an event that's off? Corrections are always welcome.
