What this covers

  • Source: TopDeck.gg. Only cEDH events TopDeck recorded as finished count, with 16 or more players, over the last 6 months, from 2026-03-30 to 2026-09-27 (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: 11419 entries of 44404 (26%) at events of 16 or more players.
  • All decks is counted by calendar month: April to September 2026.
  • Card shares: 90 pilots over the last 6 months, one list per pilot, the newest, in events of 16 or more players.
  • 1 card has no card data yet.
  • Builds: 5 reference decks kept by a curator; 224 lists placed, 0 placed with no deck.
  • The reference decks are reconstructions until the curator replaces them with the pilots' own exports.
  • 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 1 May 2026, in events of 16 or more players.
