**TopDeck.gg** - Major tournament platform for competitive Commander - **Additional tournament platforms** providing comprehensive cEDH coverage - Tournament data is normalized and processed nightly ### Data Processing - Tournaments are validated and deduplicated - Commander names are normalized using Scryfall Oracle IDs - Decklists are parsed from multiple formats (structured data and raw text) - Statistics are calculated across all tournament entries - Play rates are computed for the last year of tournament data ### Data Quality - Duplicate entries are prevented - Commander names are unified across different spellings - Card data is validated against Scryfall - Statistics are recalculated nightly for accuracy ## Key Metrics Explained ### Meta Share Percentage of total tournament entries playing a specific commander. **Formula:** `(entries with commander) / (total entries) × 100` **Example:** If 50 out of 1000 tournament entries played Kinnan, the meta share is 5%. ### Conversion Rate Percentage of tournament entries that made top cut (typically top 16 or top 8). **Formula:** `(entries that made top cut) / (total entries with commander) × 100` **Example:** If 15 out of 50 Kinnan entries made top cut, the conversion rate is 30%. ### Play Rate Percentage of decks that include a specific card. **Formula:** `(decks with card) / (total decks in color identity) × 100` **Example:** If 80 out of 100 blue decks play Rhystic Study, the play rate is 80%. ### Winrate Overall win percentage accounting for wins, losses, and draws. **Formula:** `wins / (wins + losses + draws) × 100` **Example:** A player with 10 wins, 5 losses, and 2 draws has a 58.8% winrate. ### Card Winrate Comparison Compares average winrate of decks that include vs exclude a specific card. **Purpose:** Identify which cards actually improve your chances of winning. **Example:** Decks with Dockside Extortionist might have a 62% winrate, while decks without it have 55%. ## Available Pages ### Commander Rankings (/) -
