16+32+50+

30.0% of Ashling entries reached the top cut over the last year. All decks: 24.1%. Ashling is 6 points ahead. 15 of 50 entries in events with a top cut.

From 50 entries the true share is most likely between 19% and 44%

What this covers

Source: TopDeck.gg. Only cEDH events TopDeck recorded as finished count, with 16 or more players, over the last year, from 2025-10-05 to 2026-10-04 (the data on hand starts 2026-04-27; the window fills in as weeks are stored). Coverage is not exhaustive.
Public lists only: entries that hid their decklist are not counted. TopDeck rarely names the commander of a hidden list, so hidden lists are given for every commander together: 11899 entries of 46465 (26%) at events of 16 or more players.
All decks is counted by calendar month: April to October 2026.
Card shares: 18 pilots over the last year, one list per pilot, the newest, in events of 16 or more players.
1 card has no card data yet.
Builds: no reference decks are kept yet, so no list is placed.
Percentages are shown from 20 entries in events with a top cut, ranges from 50, and places from 50 entries.
A partner pair counts as one commander pairing.
Every finish since 2 May 2026, in events of 16 or more players.
