The deck is in a position where it has solid matchups against many of the top archetypes and put up multiple second-place finishes this past weekend, but I’m not sure if the strategy will manage to hold onto its place in B-Tier as the metagame continues to evolve and adapt.Ītarka Red rejoins the tier list as we’re seeing more aggressive strategies managing to put up results this past weekend. It picked up nine qualifying finishes this week including only two from preliminary events, meaning the other seven were in higher quality events. When looking at the overall results the deck has put up, it isn’t as impressive as other decks on the tier list, but when looking at the win-rates at the various Regional Championships, the deck looks impressive. With the printing of Coppercoat Vanguard, the deck has gotten much stronger and while Spirits, RW Convoke, and RW Pia have gotten more attention of late, Humans remains quietly putting up strong enough results that it may start climbing back up the tier list soon.Īzorius Control is in an odd place in the overall metagame. Though eight came from preliminary events, having the other nine come from the challenge, showcase challenge, and the Regional Championships puts it as the best of the rest. The last of the top archetypes putting up monstrous numbers this week was a surprise in Mono White Humans, which managed seventeen qualifying finishes. Online, Sacrifice has even started leapfrogging Midrange as perennial MTGO All-Star Jaberwocki continues putting up monstrous MTGO performances, including multiple challenge wins, finals, and top 8 appearances. While Rakdos Midrange held that title for much of the past year, Sacrifice has quickly caught up with this cycle of Regional Championships. These Rakdos decks continue battling neck and neck with each other for spots at the very top of the metagame. Second and third place in terms of finishes this week were Rakdos Sacrifice and Rakdos Midrange with nineteen and eighteen qualifying finishes respectively. With the last of the Regional Championships over, we may also see Devotion start to see a little less play as it tends to peak during the competitive seasons, but don’t mistake that right now, it’s the best deck in the format. Green remains a dominant force in the Pioneer metagame with even bad matchups having a hard time answering their best starts, meaning you can beat nearly any deck in the format with your best starts, something most other decks lack.
The deck was as close to S-Tier as possible without quite ticking over the threshold, so keep an eye out next week to see if we’ll finally see the return of an S-Tier deck. With thirty qualifying finishes, the deck cleared second place Rakdos Sacrifice by over ten finishes. Green Devotion had another standout weekend in terms of quantity of finishes. Now that we’ve looked at the data, let’s take a look at what changes occurred in this week’s tier list! Metagame Breakdown Moved Up

Some examples of events we would count are SCG Con events, NRG Events, Regional Championships, Pro Tours, etc. If there are any high-profile paper events, we will also include those. For the Challenges, we are looking at all decks that earned the same number of points as the player in 16th in each event and for the Preliminary events we are looking at all 4-0 and 3-1 decks. Each week, we look at top Magic Online Tournaments including the weekly challenges, any Regional Championship Qualifiers, or Magic Online Championship Series events, along with the Pioneer Prelim events.
