How it is counted

An archetype’s meta share is its number of decks divided by all the decks in the window. MTGO leagues, which only publish their5-0 decks, and Challenges count together, without weighting. If a player repeats the exact same list in the same league, it counts once. The bar compares each archetype with the most played one.

Decklists and archetype rules come from community sources: see the sources.
