What this covers

  • Source: TopDeck.gg. Only cEDH events TopDeck recorded as finished count, with 16 or more players, over the last month, 2026-08-29 to 2026-09-27. 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: 2505 entries of 10192 (25%) at events of 16 or more players.
  • All decks is counted by calendar month: September 2026.
  • Card shares: 37 pilots over the last month, one list per pilot, the newest, in events of 16 or more players.
  • Builds: 5 reference decks kept by a curator; 53 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.
