@marvingardens yup looks like it. nice to see boros a tiny bit less dominant.

but tbh what's extra impressive is that recall & bowmasters have such massive IIH (i.e., their GNS is bad, ~51%)—neither are super heavy build arounds (yes bowmasters with the draw 7s but often they're played separate from that), but running U or B when you don't draw your big power cards is still not very good. (time walk has an even higher IIH, but time walk decks often build around it quite a bit, so it's a bit harder to tell)

@Ziddletwix I think it's worth looking at the Played In Deck Win Rate. It's all Boros. The first card with neither red nor white color identity is Black Lotus as 64th!!!!! The first card outside of Boros color identity is Time Walk at 86th!

@marvingardens shouldn’t that basically always track the highest deck color win rates? I don’t play much limited these days so I don’t check the regular stats much, but the impact of individual cards is so diluted I’d expect that to hold even if the archetype is only a little bit better than the rest. Does this not happen in most sets?

(Absolutely not doubting that Boros is comfortably the best deck, it definitely is, but it does seem like the gap did narrow a bit, although the other archetypes are unfortunately very dependent on opening the best cards)

@Ziddletwix Generally yeah but (1) if you check other sets there's generally not this level of dominance, it's more than the most solved of standard sets and (2) you would expect Power+ to have a real, visible effect on win rate, and it probably does, but Boros's win rate so overwhelmingly drowns that out

@marvingardens good point, i'll be using premier draft (as IIUC that generally is the more widely played version with a much larger sample size). will add

my bet would be on Orcish Bowmasters
