It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, so I’ve been building up a collection of pretty nifty tables.
April 2004
(Out of 4035)
30.8% – 1244 Blue (220 restricted: 17.7%)
30.7% – 1238 Artifact (487 restricted: 39.3%)
13.7% – 553 Red (20 restricted: 3.6%)
9.4% – 380 Black (130 restricted: 34.2%)
8.5% – 342 Green (9 restricted: 2.6%)
3.7% – 151 White (20 restricted: 13.2%)
3.1% – 127 Gold (–)
May 2004
(Out of 2627)
35.8% – 940 Blue (152 restricted: 16.2%)
23.1% – 608 Artifact (293 restricted: 48.2)
14.9% – 391 Red (7 restricted: 1.8%)
9.5% – 250 Black (95 restricted: 38.0%)
9.3% – 245 Green (3 restricted: 1.2%)
4.0% – 105 Gold (–)
3.4% – 88 White (14 restricted: 15.9%)
On the way to making the next table, I got an impulse to count the proportion of each color’s appearance that was from the restricted list. On the one hand, more restricted cards indicates that people are playing the”better” cards and fewer scrubby ones, but that assumes that the restricted list is made up of the most powerful cards. With Fork and Braingeyser still there, this is clearly not the case. Also, White, Green, and Red have such small samples of restricted cards to begin with that their percentages can’t be taken to mean anything. Except White sucking, which we already knew.
Color Prevalence
JAN., FEB., MAR., APR., MAY.
28.7, 26.8, 20.6, 30.7, 23.1 Artifact
24.5, 31.4, 29.2, 30.8, 35.8 Blue
_5.7, _9.7, 10.6, _9.4, _9.5 Black
20.7, 16.5, 17.0, 13.7, 14.9 Red
13.6, _7.1, 12.7, _8.5, _9.3 Green
_3.4, _3.8, _5.9, _3.7, _3.4 White
_3.6, _4.7, _4.0, _3.1, _4.0 Gold
The most interesting thing here isn’t that White has slipped back to just where it was six months ago, or that the proportion of artifacts isn’t rising (monobrown decks are out of fashion but people play more Moxes – balance), but rather Black’s stability across this timeframe. When you think about it, it makes sense. Black has some of the best cards ever, and they will hopefully never be matched. But they’re all from a long time ago, and the color pie doesn’t leave any room for new Black cards to be worth playing in Type One.
They can’t make discard any better, they can’t make the creatures any better, they can’t make life-stealing any better, and they can’t make card drawing any better. So Black is stuck in a rut. Green may be hitting a similar roadblock: the creatures can hardly be improved upon without endangering Standard/Block, the enchantments almost inherently suck (and are competing with Survival of the Fittest even if they don’t), and the removal is at just about the best it can possibly be printed at. I can hardly wait for the next block to see how much Type One players can wean out of it despite the high barriers to entry for the format.
JAN: 735 Land (2048 nonland)
FEB: 657 land (2114 nonland)
MAR: 1216 land (3786 nonland)
APR: 1362 land (4022 nonland)
MAY: 879 land (2627 nonland)
Land Breakdown
(By percent of all land per month.)
Jan., Feb., Mar., Apr., May.
18.5, 11.1, 17.4, 12.0, 15.0 basic land
25.3, 32.4, 29.7, 26.4, 30.2 dual land
17.0, 20.2, 19.7, 17.0, 18.3 Onslaught fetchland
_6.7, _7.6, _6.5, _6.5, _7.3 restricted land
32.5, 28.6, 26.7, 38.1, 29.2 other nonbasic land
These have remained mostly stable for all of 2004, so there’s not much to say. The big spike of”other” in April was a lot of Workshop aggro decks, but otherwise these are remarkably consistent for the shifts in which decks have been successful over the past several months.
Card Type Occurrence
(By percent of cards played)
(Out of: 2783,2771,5002,5384,3506)
Janu, Febr, Marc, Apri, May.
26.4, 23.7, 24.3, 25.3, 25.1 Land
17.5, 17.6, 14.9, 17.7, 15.2 Artifact
_3.6, _2.7, _2.4, _5.3, _2.2 Artifact Creature
13.8, 10.4, 14.1, _9.8, 12.5 Nonartifact Creature
_6.9, _5.7, _7.4, _5.6, _5.1 Enchantment
25.7, 30.6, 28.4, 28.7, 32.6 Instant
_6.3, _9.3, _8.5, _7.5, _7.5 Sorcery
I found myself curious just how bad enchantments were and how good instants were versus sorceries, so I tossed together this table. It looks like as we’re playing fewer bad decks – enchantments continue to decline in prevalence, while instants keep rising and sorceries stay about the same. Combined artifact and nonartifact creatures float around the 15% neighborhood constantly, so that’s one thing that isn’t changing as we’re tightening up the format.
Card Type Occurrence
(Average per deck)
(decks: 37,37,67,71,47)
Janu, Febr, Marc, Apri, May.
19.9, 17.8, 18.2, 19.2, 18.7 Land
13.1, 13.2, 11.1, 13.4, 11.3 Artifact
_2.7, _2.0, _1.8, _7.0, _1.6 Artifact Creature
10.4, _7.8, 10.6, _7.5, _9.3 Nonartifact Creature
_5.2, _4.3, _5.5, _4.3, _3.8 Enchantment
19.3, 23.0, 21.2, 21.8, 24.3 Instant
_4.7, _7.0, _6.4, _5.7, _5.6 Sorcery
This table is just translating the above information into the perspective of how many cards of each type would be expected in a deck. This might actually be good to think about when designing a deck, because you shouldn’t dramatically differ from the norm without a clear and compelling reason. For instance, if you’re running less than twenty instants, you should be concerned about having enough draw/search cards. Obviously some segments are irrelevant to most decks, like Artifact Creatures, but the generalization stands.

Remember that May’s numbers should be comparatively a third lower than April’s, because it had a third fewer tournaments, and the number processed was the raw card count, not the percentage.
One of my favorites, the share of each set’s unique card names that were played in April, then May.

One of the biggest shifts here is Darksteel, because in March and April, Modular-using decks caused a ton of the Arcbound creatures to show up in addition to their support cards like Skullclamp, but in May that just didn’t happen. So Darksteel fell off of the”most useful expansion ever” wagon. Thank goodness – I like Legacy’s set symbol much better, anyway.
I’m starting to get really impatient for the end of July to roll around so that I can gloat to Knut about my Fifth Dawn predictions. (I’ll mention if he turns out to be right, but since I am well-known to be a supercomputer, this is not likely to be necessary.) My official prediction was 2.5% of cardnames used -either four or five from the set – while Knutty* felt 5% was more likely, in other words eight or nine cardnames.
* : If I can get called”Pipster”, I’ll try to at least make up for it with gradually more ridiculous nicknames for you too, Ted.
[Alas, I think Fivel will probably end up closer to correct with his prediction than I. – Knut]
The last cutesy table I’ll put here is inspired by David Hernandez’s campaign on TMD to get everyone to realize how underrated he thinks Misdirection is. On the off chance it might actually be useful to the issue, I looked for the percent of cards played which could be Misdirected.
Artifact April
100.0% – 1238 immune
Blue April
35.6% – 443 Misdirectable
12.9% – 160 sometimes Misdirectable (might not be another target: BEB, Stifle)
0.4% – 5 sometimes Misdirectable (variable singularity of targets: eg, Rushing River)
51.0% – 634 immune
Black April
18.4% – 70 Misdirectable
11.3% – 43 sometimes Misdirectable (might not be another target: eg, Animate Dead, Sinkhole)
0.3% – 1 sometimes Misdirectable (variable singularity of targets: eg, Ebony Charm)
70.0% – 266 immune
Red April
6.5% – 36 Misdirectable
21.2% – 117 sometimes Misdirectable (might not be another target: eg, REB, Shattering Pulse)
3.4% – 19 sometimes Misdirectable (variable singularity of targets: eg, Firestorm, Primitive Justice)
68.9% – 381 immune
Green April
24.9% – 85 sometimes Misdirectable (might not be another target: eg, Bounty of the Hunt, Rancor)
2.3% – 8 sometimes Misdirectable (variable singularity of targets: eg, Gaea’s Blessing)
74.0% – 253 immune
White April
9.9% – 15 Misdirectable
31.1% – 47 sometimes Misdirectable (might not be another target: eg, Disenchant)
58.9% – 89 immune
Gold April
11.0% – 14 sometimes Misdirectable (might not be another target: eg, Artifact Mutation)
49.6% – 63 sometimes Misdirectable (variable singularity of targets: eg, Fire / Ice)
39.4% – 50 immune
Total
(Out of 4035)
14.0% – 564 Misdirectable
11.6% – 466 sometimes Misdirectable (might not be another target)
2.4% – 96 sometimes Misdirectable (variable singularity of targets)
72.1% – 2911 immune
While counting that up I ran into cards like Brain Freeze and Tendrils of Agony which boosted the Misdirectable count, despite, for all practical purposes, being immune to the card. Also, Pyroblast was weird to count, but I eventually called it a”sometimes,” because if its controller chose the”destroy target permanent if it is Blue” mode, then there would have to be another permanent in play, which won’t always be true, if I’m counting objectively rather than based on feelings about what ought to be true during gameplay. Pyrokinesis counted for both kinds of”sometimes,” so I put it under the second if anyone cares.
The comedy potential here was caused by my browser deciding to pick the moment when I needed to look up a bunch of cards online to start skipping letters that I typed into entry fields. For instance,”Cop Rotation” and”Bunty of the Hunt.”
Anyway, this might shed a little light on where the Other Pitch Counter fits into the scheme of things.
I keep putting off a lot of good article ideas because I don’t think I’ve thought them out enough, so I don’t know what to tease you with as a conclusion this time. As a way of filling the void, I will give you an irrelevant quote from #TheManaDrain:
